Auto Tuning

After a long stressful few days this video was just the thing I needed. CS-S-S-S-S…

E.T. Means Exercising Together

This Exercising Together album cover from 1982 has to be the most fabulous thing I have seen in weeks. I love how they are shamelessly trying to cash in on the E.T. movie’s hype. I found this while browsing through Flickr user IAAFOTS’s collection of vintage and retro imagery. Thanks to Mid-Century [...]

Gallery of handmade flea circuses

I love this little gallery of vintage looking hand made flea circuses. It makes me want one just to have as decoration in my house. The photos have that nice vintage coloring to them as well, I just wish they were bigger.

Cynical Christmas Cards

Erstlaub, a musician/designer friend of mine, designed this humorous set of cynical Christmas cards. Although I’m not so cynical about the holidays, they still made me laugh, and I love the minimal black Helvetica bold on white design.

Of course the wit helps with the smile factor. There’s a definite DADA influence [...]

“Hello World” letterpess test run

I just thought this was a very funny and appropriate way to test out your new letterpress machine. Those true nerds out there (which I’m guessing is a good proportion of my visitors) will understand, others can learn the significance here. I love the meshing of old world and new world.

Typography inspired Pinewood Derby car

The Columbus Society of Communicating Arts recently held a fun looking Pinewood Derby contest. I especially love the “Typemobile” pictured above. As a former 3 time champion in my Cub Scout years, it combines the fun I had making Pinewood Derby cars as a youth, with my current design obsession as an adult. [...]

If an ad agency today had to design the stop sign

This is pretty funny, but mostly sad because of how true it is.

Back to the Futura – Cinematypography

The fantastic design blog September Industry has created, with the help of other contributers, a list of movie titles that have font names worked into them. Maybe it’s because I’m a super nerd, but it’s the funniest thing I have seen on the internet in a long time. Some of my favorites are [...]
