They have poor taste in typography.
See more lunacy here, but beware, they also have a shitty web designer who likes to use music.
h/t to Sarah Lloyd, who has eagle-eyes for Papy.
Don’t know what I expected…
Firefly is a pretty great show, with a cult following that’s seriously dedicated. Unfortunately, they also use a certain questionable typeface for a lot of the publicity and copy. Here is an example of a topical t-shirt that I spied at Comicon. And while the idea of the shirt is pretty great (Remember the Battle of Serenity Valley), the execution is not awesome.
Technically, baby seals ARE organic…
So we’ll file it under “Organic Shit”
The Oatmeal Understands
I have a big crush on Matthew Inman of the Oatmeal. He is a genius. In this comic, he shows his total internet prowess, by pointing out one egregious web design faux-pas that many vaguely-Asian-themed restaurants share:
so true.
Such love.
Nature : A No-Man’s Land for Hideous Design
I’ve been doing a lot of research on Utah for work (don’t ask) and have recently been confronted by the realization that design for state parks, wildlife foundations, and other non-profits regarding stewardship must be super, super broke. Why? Because they can’t hire a design intern who knows better than this:
Eesh. Please donate your money to your local wildlife federation or state park, and with your pledge, attach a note explaining why. Because good design for non-profits is a sure way to make more money, build better trails, and save the animals.
Ripe with Papyrus: The Netflix Documentary Section
One needs only flip through a few pages of Netflix’s “Social & Cultural” Documentary film section to see numerous instances of Papyrus, mostly having to do with things from the mysterious East, hence, “vaguely Asian.”
Here are a few samples:
“The Cats of Mirikitani”
“All in This Tea”
“Bangkok Girl”
Straight Outta Korea
From Melissa, who continues to remind us that Papyrus is a worldwide epidemic.
Also from Sarah
Who pointed out that even the non-organic-y tea flavors, like Earl Grey, were also in Papyrus. Ew.
From Sarah
Who knows better than to buy undies from someone with so little taste.
Happy Birthday, Jordan!
Who stole, with Ryan’s help, this sign from our local QFC.
