Mekanism
December 16, 2008 
A great firm, with great projects. Hilarious menu videos.
Clearification may be my favorite; As much as I’d hate to promote Windows, the Vista campaign (with episodes starring comedian Demetri Martin) is quite entertaining. If Microsoft’s goal was to attract us young, doodling, sarcastic, dry-humored youngens, well you’ve got my attention ( but sorry- not my money!) Regardless, I’m grateful to have them give their money for this firm to have some fun…
The Other Shop
December 8, 2008 
There is a tremendous store on Divisidero called The Other Shop that has an almost overwhelming collection of bizarre vintage objects. The prices vary depending on the dealer. One of my favorite things I got was this Eat tray, perfect in all its exuberant cheesiness. The exclamation point no doubt is for salsa…

Basement Parking Garage on Fulton & Masonic, SF, CA
Let’s ignore the awesome fact that the most crucial part of the sign is the least noticeable… And let’s enjoy how ironic it is that they forgot to finish the sign reminding people not to forget things. Either that, or this is a remarkably canny diagram that’s communicating subconsciously with us from another planet.
Breaking News
I’m back! But that’s not exactly the breaking news I meant. Check out this great exercise San Francisco Designer, Tim Belonax, has started for this month…

Tim, I hope you don’t mind my shout out. Your motivation is very inspirational.
Barcodes with Makeup On
Something that I would do if we got barcodes early in the game…
Also, I’m definitely enough of a nerd to want that chandelier in my future home.
Nike Loves Peeps
Often it is good times working at a place that designs and also prints its projects, because we can do.. well, things like this.
It’s a really long story… but we made this for Nike. Phil’s idea. Hilarious.

If Justin Timberlake was Helvetica, [this guy] would be Arial. But in a good way.
p.s. Yes, I am still pursuing my adolescent fantasies. So shoot me.
p.p.s. No, I am probably not the first person to relate a boy band member to a typeface. Sadly. (And if we are continuing with this theme, I think AJ would be Crackhouse, Lance would be Lucida Calligraphy, and Nick would be something boring and average. Something like… Times New Roman).
