It was nice to see a business card and letterhead I typeset and some assets I artworked pop up in the D&AD annual. Congratulations to This Is Real Art on their Reprieve project. (I interned, and I guess it's not often that the 'profile' job comes very close to an intern- it was good to see.) Top image nicked from Noisy Decent Graphics
Editors Street View Hack
New promo material for the Editors new album which is heavily influenced by London, hence this street view hack where bits of London not accessible by street view have been added. With tracks from the album playing over dressed up band members, all astride some interesting landscapes and parts of the capital this is a pretty sweet way to get people to check your site.

I Wear My Sunglasses At Night
A little story: I was on an image search for something unrelated to the picture above but this photo caught my eye, I was going to go past the thumbnail without any more thought but then I noticed the title i_wear_my_sunglasses_at_night_by_whitewhitewine.jpg. I clicked. I did because the title and the connotations of the song it referred to helped validate and perhaps make more sense of the image the title had been reappropriated for. I think this is pretty interesting and I know it's probably one of the big debates in art about titles, but I'm still enjoying the novelty of it right now. As Mike said, "I think it's called anchorage", The image was anchored by the song and all that I associated with it to create a much richer overall 'experience' of the photo. Hella Words & Pictures.

Service Envy
Got this little surprise in my eggs today- my girlfriend cringes but it reassures me, chickens have actually been somewhere near my eggs, I quite like the idea that they might put the feather in to convince the consumer that it was free range. Conversely Jo likes the folded corners on toilet paper- it reassures her that someone has been and cleaned, it creeps me out a little that someone might be watching me... Anyway both are nice examples of something which I believe is reffered to as 'service envy'- a phrase qoined by the people at live|work
