Summer Task #3 submission!

That's right, you read that title correctly. Submission without the "s"

Haha. I figured I'd go ahead post it anyways, I went about a week after the deadline waiting for submissions but they never came in.


So here's mine:




I've always wanted to do one of these old retro ads because they fascinate me...especially the old tobacco ones despite my not being a smoker.

I had a blast doing it and I'm looking foward to this next semester with Design Matters. This concludes the official Design Matters Summer Tasks.

See you all at the Block Party on Monday!

The Design Process

I saw this today and thought it was really great.

Stop signs are one of the many things we take for granted. It's hard to believe that there was a time before the stop sign existed, and that someone had to invent it. The Process is a fun short about how things would have turned out if it were designed by committee.

7 fonts that should die

I forgot one of the uses we established for this blog was to share things with each other that are design-related.

Well, here's a quick and funny one that Alex and I were talking about earlier today:

7 Fonts that should die

He and I both agreed that Comic Sans should most definitely be added to that list (that is, if it already isn't dead...we can only hope)

If you guys find anything fun or useful that is design-related, post it up here and share it with us.
