This is a picture of a pedestrian crossing as seen in our neighborhood. Nothing special… but take a closer look at the hand: Isn’t it an awful drawing? Floppy, boneless, wrinkly, ‘wristless’ and with the most bizarre manicure I’ve ever seen! This hand is traumatizing enough to come and haunt you at night… Seriously, I might be slightly . . . → Read More: Ugliest Hand Ever Drawn…And it’s all over the city! As owners of two cats that love Royal Canin food to the extent that it has to be kept under tighter security than the gold bullion at Fort Knox this advert really struck a chord with us! Obviously we’d like to see a version featuring our cats (they’re quite photogenic: Steve only needs to hear the . . . → Read More: Royal Canin: Drooling Dog Advert Designers sometimes have moments of euphoria when they think of a great concept that will look amazing and will really stand out from anything else. Then we create the ‘great concept’ and realize that, damn, it’s not working at all and to make it work we have to modify the ‘great concept’ and take away a . . . → Read More: Form follows function…NOT – sahre victore wilker Fresh: Edmonton Tourism I came across this promotion piece for Edmonton Tourism while at work; it’s to promote their meeting and conference hosting services.

I don’t have much interest in the games themselves and probably won’t go out of my way in order to watch the events (except maybe the hockey). However, I do like the ‘Olympic Spirit’ AKA the advertising, . . . → Read More: Olympics Design Underground Map Anyone who’s been to London is familiar with this map. Overwhelming at first – it does illustrate 11 lines and 270 stations – it doesn’t take too long to get accustomed and know how to use it, even for lost tourists. For this, we have to be thankful to Harry Beck, designer of the . . . → Read More: Underground Map Design Typotheque Typefaces 1999-2009 Fedra Sans Forewords Typotheque is a graphic design studio and “digital type foundry”, founded by Peter and Johanna Bil’ak (ahhh, designer husband & wife duo…) in 1999.
