Has this won any awards? If not it should have done, I expect Kanye West to have another hissy fit when it does*.

Enjoy:



*You see I am aware of what goes on in modern mainstream society, I know Kanye West is a cock!

Friday Drinks

Just a little idea I had, I know that seeing peoples versions of the old 'Keep Calm...' posters is getting a bit tiring but I promise this will be one and only contribution. I have seen the slogan Keep Calm and Have a Pint before but it was in any official capacity so I don't think I am treading on too many toes when it comes to copy write, but if I am i'm sorry and inform me so I can do something about it. Maybe, I might get real posters made of it but I think I have pretty much missed the peak popularity of the Keep Calm and Carry On posters so am unlikely to make my millions on it.

A Sand Ampersand

I am sure that every graphic design who has ever ventured onto a beach has done this - I have been waiting a long time to do it - and it isn't that original but I couldn't resist.

Heritage

On Monday I popped down to London (it was more complicated than that as I used a train rather than a civilised mode of transport like a car) to see GF Smith's Heritage exhibition. It was an amazing collection of lovely items of self promotion, useful but very nice swatch books, some Penrose Albums and other nice bits that have been printed on GF Smith paper. Some of the post war and 50s bits were just exceptional.

I didn't take my 'proper' camera so I made do with my iPhone. To make them a little more acceptable I have forced them through a cool 'app'.

MagCulture

Nice new paper about magazines, very helpful for my new venture too. Keep your eyes peeled.

I hate Google Chrome, I probably shouldn't say that via blogger that is Google owned and run but I do hate it. My dislike stems from the promotional material that has surrounded it. The Pokemon style ball logo combined and the scrawly font used on the adverts do not match in anyway, it looks like it has been thrown together by a team of designers that were on opposite sides of the world all using what ever style they liked at the time.

I also don't understand why, if you are going to go to town with the Photoshop effects like they have on the ball logo thing, have they called it chrome and not made anything look 'chrome'? I know its a bit of a cliché but I search for even a hint of chrome in everything and anything that surrounds this web browser but to no avail.

Having said all that, check out this video; it almost makes up for all of the other promotional shit we have had to endure.
