Nope, don’t try it, SIA doesn’t want them (this will make sense if you check the rest of the post, I promise). Just got back from the SIA show now in Denver. Lots changed, lots the same.
In case you’ve been living in a cave the past couple weeks and didn’t hear, a big hullabaloo went down in late night TV with Conan O’Brien coming out on the short end of the stick. Last night I caught his last show and it did not disappoint
You know, since we have a mile long to do list and 407 things planned for the upcoming year, we figured we’d start another section of the site (note the sarcasm dripping out your monitor). We watch movies like everyone else; some good, some bad so we figured, why not give our $.02 about them?
For our first in the installment, we have three films. Strange Brew, Hurt Locker and a blockbuster currently out in the theaters which we dubbed Crapatar
That’s what Portillo’s does. It’s hard to say what’s better, the absurdly delicious food or the amazing hand painted signs. Of course 99.9% of the people who frequent their establishments probably never even notice but being the design dorks that we are – you know we do.
The Boy Scout’s motto is Be Prepared. The people at Zombie Targets must have been Boy Scouts because they want everyone to be prepared for the zombie uprising.
This month around we decided to stray a bit on our new Book of the Month series. We’re sure that all 12 readers are wondering why we’d stray from such a successful mini-series and, well, the simple answer is that this product should be required for any designer to have. Check out our mini-review here.
Rolling through a little store the other day that you may have heard of named Macy’s, came across a slew of the most awesome unwearable hoodies ever seen… although, I must say it’s pretty tempting to pick one up.
We’re starting off December with guns blazing. Behind the scenes, there’s a load of stuff going on which will all become evident soon. For now though, our book of the month series continues! This time around, it’s Vans: Off the Wall. One of the cooler books that we’ve checked out in a while, it definitely hit home with the 80′s skateboarder in me. Check out our mini-review here.
We finally had a minute to mess around with the blog over our Gobblicious Thanksgiving holiday. In addition to doing heavy codework to customize our template, we now have a new section aptly titled “Book of the Month”, we hope you like it. We have numerous plans and additional features coming up in the next couple weeks, so be sure to check back or check our RSS Feed or subscribe to our Feedburner Feed.
We hope you like the refined look as much as we do.
I grew up not too far from Danny, he lived only a couple towns over. My group of friends I skated with had heard of a group in Vista who all skated super good. Looking at the list of people he grew up skating with, it’s no wonder that we heard of them 20 miles away (which is a pretty long distance in an 11 year old’s world). Little did I know that in a couple years, that group would revolutionize skateboarding as the world knew it.
We just wrapped up a project for our newest client, Peace Iced Tea. The site dropped yesterday and the tea comes out in about 6 weeks. They have some pretty cool plans, including a huge Peace Tea Party with bands, artists and the like. Check it out Peace Iced Tea
We’ve got a new feature on Design & Conquer called Book of the Month where we plan to feature a new book which we feel is worthwhile for designers to check out. Our first feature is of Los Logos 4 by Gestalten, check out our mini-review here.
