fail sign

 

ahh man... i would soo send that to my graphic design teachers if i was still in school. LOL!

 

That actually makes sense lol. I tried saving someone a few years back at 16th ave when he was stuck and getting sucked into the cove. Gave him my bodyboard which he just let go and then he tried to drown me with him. I pushed him off and caught a wave off the cliff away from the cove and swam back to shore. Luckily the coast guard boat showed up a few mins later to fish his *** out.

 

I was debating sending it to my typography teacher who is a big proponent of symbolizing people in letters.

 

Best sign ever!

 

-____- ...as much as i love dealing with typography..... it really has no place in graphical representation. LOL!

 

should have a literal caption on that... "if you see someone drowning, laughing out loud is just about as good as calling 911"

 

Yeah, it's not the route I take, but he has done some interesting logo work.

 

and he doesn't modify the typeface? or does he create letters and whatnot that look something else?

 

There are two that I can think of off the top of my head. One I think was just making the dot of an i a lighter shade to represent a head and body. The other one is pretty hard to describe and I haven't seen it for a while, but it was a similar subtle thing, not like the sign about

 

Nice find Matt!

 

lol. ahh i see... yeah..... thats really bad. on top of that he messed with a typeface... big no no.

i also noticed you used the word "interesting" to describe his design work. LOL! interesting = i think it's crap but this is not the time nor place to tell you.

 

Interesting doesn't always mean bad. Interesting can mean not my style but still has talent. I'm not a fan of tech/corporate looking stuff but given his whole career has been in the Silicon Valley, it all has that techy look. Cisco, HP, and Nokia have liked his work, so far be it for me (or anyone else) to say he doesn't know what he's doing. ANyways, took it to PM, so on with the LOL sign!
