I could watch OK Go music videos all day long. They entertain me so much.
And is it the same design from the Banksy elephant? If not exact then close.

Forest Roll.
Although my sleeping on a bed roll and only a bed roll idea did not pan out so well a few years back, I'm still a fan of them. I still like to curl up and take a good Saturday nap on the ol' bed roll from time to time. And this Forest Roll from Aguiniga Design is right up my napping alley.
Try and tell me that doesn't look cozy and comfortable. Try.

Helvetica.
Sure Helvetica is a great default font but sometimes you're just tired of seeing the word "Helvetica" every time you open Illustrator. Thankfully my favorite professor in school left a huge impact on me, "Never use Helvetica unless you really mean it. Helvetica is for the everyday." Someone has made a documentary that will hopefully be shown to all students and hopefully make them realize why there is life beyond Helvetica. Because really... it is freaking everywhere. It's premiering at SXSW this year. I sooooo want to see it because not only is it about a font that I love and loathe, it will also expose and explore design, advertising, communication, psychology, etc. All things I love and loathe equally.

Gah.

I just made a ridiculously long post and the effing Internet Explorer "encountered a problem" and had to shut the fuck down. I hate you Internet Explorer!
This is what I get for using Ben's computer.
Where's my Firefox when I need it?

He Knows.
Everyone.
Who?
Benjamin.
Who does he know?
Ryan Rosenboom.
Apparently they took confirmation together back at St. Jo's so many years ago.

Blog of Interest.
14 February 2007
I just spent the last hour and a half creating a layout with a logo I mocked out via creative vision from Mandy for hers and Lauren's new joint sports blog.
Go on. Go look.
The links still need to be filled in but I'm gonna leave that up to them.
Now if only I could put forth that sort of effort on my own blog.

It's Just a Plant.
Many parents have tried marijuana, some still use it. Neither feel great about disclosing such histories (many duck the question), for fear that telling their kids might encourage them to experiment on their own.
Well now there is an illustrated children's book out in the world to explain to our youngsters that it really is a just a plant. The story involves a little girl walking in on her parent's smoking it up, visiting a farmer to learn more, calling out four black men puffing along and then (of course) teaches us that it is up to "responsible" adults to use if chosen to do so.
From now until Vday you can read it online for free.

Scratch N Sniff Me.
01 February 2007
I'm at work looking for a company online to print custom stickers when I came across a bajillion scratch n' sniff makers. One company in particular has a maple fragrance. So I had an idea...
Whenever I start promoting my self and work (no telling when that could ever possibly be) I should make my promotional pieces with the maple scratch n' sniff fragrance.
Yea?
I get a lot of shit about not using the "Maples" part of my name to my benefit but I think it is incredibly cheesey to use a maple leaf or tree or syrup or whatever else. But I think the scratch n' sniff sticker is subtle enough and cool enough to work.
Thoughts?
