Randy anyone?

Well after a bit of tweaking and playing about I have managed to make a font. It's something I started last year while working on a poster based around the work of Paul Rand. I have tweaked a few bits from the original version but even though it is readable it is essentially still a display font.

If anyone would like to have a play with it here it is here



Photoshoped

Nicely done.


Another example of brilliant adbusting, a billboard on the subway in Berlin has an elegant sarcastic pasteup. The board announced the disks of Britney Spears, Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera, but on top of them were pasted several images representing the palette of tools in Photoshop .

The Portrait of a Future Citizen as a Young Boy | NO CAPTION NEEDED

Scary stuff

The image of Palestinian children (as well as Iraqi children) with “toy guns” has become such a cliché in recent times that I’ve almost stopped paying attention to them when they show up in journalistic slideshows. But the photograph below, which appeared recently on the Washington Post website, warrants a close look despite what might seem initially as a weary stereotype.

What distinguishes this image from the many others in the “toy gun” genre is that the young boy is not with other children playing with his fake weapon, nor is he being watched over by a small group of approving adults. R [From The Portrait of a Future Citizen as a Young Boy | NO CAPTION NEEDED]
