Continuing with the Twitter series I started earlier this week, I found some good fortune (sorry, couldn't resist). It could be the warm weather, but I've been oogling over anything bright colored lately and this was the perfect tweet to pull in some stupendously gaudy, bright colors. It's so hideously colorful and I love it. Also, don't you just love how spamm-y this tweet sounds?
A big thanks to Booooooom for the tweet.
This image is a juxtaposition of so many different different things. It's a representation of history (one of the newspapers featured here is over 93 years old), style, color (pow!), and of course, typography. Specifically the ampersand.
Blow your mind.
O is completely deceiving. It's just a circle right? Looks totally innocent right? Not! It's a total front. This letter is complex in it's simplicity, taunting many a designer, leading them to madness.
"Seriously, I can't believe you. Sitting there trying to be all global and what. You're a total fraud. What about everything outside of that great big all-inclusive circle? You gonna crack? You gonna turn into a C? You're like one of those Sandals trips that everyone loves. There's always gonna to be something they don't include. You gonna crack? Huh?"
*10 minutes of silence*
"I can't even believe this. What a poser."
I can't say I'm sad that this is the last day I'm challenging (think forcing) myself to use an image in every design. It's been a little difficult, and I can't say that my designs this week have been super impressive, but then again that's what challenges are for right? That being said, I do really like this design. It's a little early to tell, but I think geometric shapes are my new obsession. In fact, I'm contemplating dedicating a month just to circles. Mitch Hedberg is an American stand-up comedian known for his surreal humor and uunconventional comedic delivery. Find more about him on Wikipedia. I really don't know anything about him other than his beret quote made me chuckle.
