don't let your website resize my browser window

yeahy! I'm glad I'm not the only one who curses under my breath when I go to a website and my browser explodes to full screen or some awkward smaller rectangle. Just don't do it. We are each capable of readjusting our own browsers. (I am aware that Sagmeister's site does this. But since he is a rock star and absolutely brilliant, he can do what the hell he wants and I will still visit his site.)

World Cup 2010 Poster

Guess I've got soccer on the brain. Here is the poster for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It's beautiful and simple with a very true color palette . 

And also, that black squiggle coming from the lower left area...I'm going to say that isn't really there. Because it makes no sense! 

443 days until it begins!!! 

I really enjoy this

Not the design so much but definitely the titles. Very clever. And cute. 

Quiddities. Teehee. You know...P. Diddy's various name changes sometimes can be quite comical...on purpose. On his Twitter, P. Diddy sometimes refers to himself (jokingly) as P. Twitty....and I kind of love that. 

and I might use it as inspiration. 

:)

maybe. Then again maybe not. For right now, I just like it. 

Oh yes, and I twitter. Or tweet? I have yet to utilize my twitter for more interesting means but check me out! 

My Life

And I really hope it stays this way for a long long time. (and hopefully I'll be a designer and not just a program monkey :))

Hybrid Design Poster

I love this poster...so much. Seriously love love love it. That is all I wanted to share. 

I want to kearn U and I

I love design nerd posters. They're like inside jokes that are very funny and sometimes very important to only a small group of people. I don't know..maybe I'm just lame but I think I am not alone. So here are a few nerdy posters. About design. And such like things that may not be completely about design. (I am very tired so I hope that I'm not only enjoying these things because of lack of sleep but because they are actually funny...)

I remember there being a website that had a whole bunch of these. Basically, the white part is the typeface, the red part is what it says about you/how it feels/what might happen if you use it. Who ever did this did a great job because most of them were pretty funny and pretty true.

Perfect thing to wear on a day you feel like getting shot. 

Ok..this one made me teehee. It's just very ridiculous and I like it. 

Ok, these are obviously starting to be a lot less designy and a lot more teehee-able. But I do like this one. Most because every time I do get the rainbow circle of doom, I think the exact same thing. Nothing too angry and nothing too intelligent just "This sucks" and "stop spinning already" and sometimes " I hate you". 

This last one I just like and happened to find in while I was writing this entry so I decided to share. Plus they made Poland legible so all is good in my book :). 

Movie poster redesign

I love limited color palettes. love love love. So I was really excited when I found this set of posters. Olly Moss participated in the Make Something Cool Everyday challenge that is gaining popularity on the internet. These posters are the outcome of that and although I don't like everything in the series, I think these are really really great! 

(I am willing to accept that I like almost everything Indiana Jones related....except for the fourth movie)

I should really look into the create something cool everyday thing. and actually do it. I keep saying "oh, I'll do it next year when I'm out of school" but technically... I should be doing that now regardless. But I'm lazy so I'll say I'll do it next year sans the pressure of school!
