numbers, numb3rs, and number5.

numbers.

taken for granted.

who starts designing a font with the numbers?

when do they ever come up ahead up the letters in the preview?

does DaFont ever show the numbers in their preview?

no.

////////////

thats not fair.

they deserve their chance. 

how else will anyone tell me how much im gonna get paid?

///////////

now i myself, like curvy numbers,

ones that move.

ones that display the value they read. 

not mine duh.

credit to those who deserve it.

what do other designers feel about design?

i know i love what i study
and what i want to do for the rest of my life.


but how do the rest of the designers feel?

credit those who made these, 

cause i sure didnt.

now, i didnt make these. 
but seriously.
if there were ever a bible for all graficdesigners...
these would be in it.

how about some music....

ive always been a fan of...
<obvious> MUSIC</obvious>
///////////
but it takes a lot in a poster about a band to impress me.
but having it be about a band that i actually listen to, helps.


which brings me to my ninth point...
the following posters...


completely different bands.
completely different eras, but man
the styles of the posters are so similar!


AHH!!
color palette
composition
voice.


shudders////

as always,

credit to those who deserve it.

these aint mine.

tell me those aint sweet!!!!

the minimalism, the composition.

i cant.

type type type type!!!

this font is Verdana.

this font is Trebuchet.

this is Helvetica.

they are sans serif fonts, like this, Arial.

font geeks, rejoice. 

designers that carry around fonts like water, praise. 

unfortunately, this blogging tool does not have

my preferred font. 

//////

otherwise this and the rest of post would be in 

<font>FUTURA</font>

okay, but humor me a bit and

tell me what font this is?

credit to those who deserve it.

aka

not my image.

modernist no?

<maybe>a bit?</maybe>

half way between modern and postmodern?

you tell me?

Fuck. Yea. Art. Student. Owl.

if you're any kind of art student
hell if you've ever worked in some
kind of studio course...
you need to check out this tumblr.


this are the woes and ways of the art student/devotee.
this is our bible, where we learn from others mistakes.
and sometimes have a laugh at other's expense.


Fuck Yea Art Student Owl 


and just as a sneak preview if you dont trust the link
<shock>what happened? i thought we were friends?</shock>

graphic design kids!!
tell me you havent tried to CTRL+Z your life?!!!
my hand has made the gesture whenever i eff up!
enough exclamation points!!!

STAR WARS

so it seems like theres quite a bit of overlap between designers 
and STAR WARS.
////WHY?////


because both are awesome, duh?
are you kidding me?
what kind of a question is that good sir?


so much time is WELL SPENT making movie posters 
for films that were released well over a decade ago.
it was just that inspiring of series.


check out how this series messed with designers' heads...

look at the stormtrooper.

its friggin george lucas meets modern commericialism.

again, these aint mine. 

credit to those who deserve it.

seriously. 

check out that stormtrooper. 

what a message.

see?

its not just flat design that can inspire graphically visual people.

and my favorite...

chills. 

just chills.

we all know that pulp fiction was badass.

trovolta and sam jackson are badass.

some of us know that star wars is badass.

boba fett and darth vader are badass.

the world needs to know. 

paper, papel, i dont know how to say it on another language.

people. 

play with your paper.

anyone tells you not to crumple it, crunch it harder.

tear it louder.

cut it messier.

print on it, then take an xacto to it.

customize it.
