Rest In Power Michael



Not to sound cliche or like everyone else but yesterday the world really did lose an amazing person. I don't know of one person who honestly did not like the music this man created. I've seen kids who never ever talked bust out in full song when his music came on. Singing every word to the "T". I know for a fact his music has brought joy to my life and millions of other around the world. He will be missed but his music will go on.

Pentagram says F*#K the Senate




This month the Senate approved new legislation that will heavily restrict the nicotine content and marketing of cigarettes, including the requirement that colorful ads and displays be replaced with black-and-white-only text. The bill is expected to pass in the House and President Obama has said he will sign it. For a piece in its Sunday Perspectives section, the St. Petersburg Times asked DJ Stout what cigarette companies might do to follow the new marketing rules. (The full article is print only; we’ve posted it here .) Stout suggests that to comply with the new crackdown, cigarette manufacturers like Marlboro should embrace the restrictions and make cigarettes look truly dangerous. This, of course, will still appeal to a core group of smokers.
“Over the years there has been an onslaught of public awareness messaging about the evils of smoking,” says Stout. “Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last 50 years you are very aware that smoking is not only bad for you, it could very likely kill you. All smokers know this for sure but it doesn’t deter them.

“Our marketing advice to cigarette companies in the new heavily regulated era is to fully accept the new aggressive anti-smoking restrictions and wallow in the government’s apocalyptic health warnings. Don’t make excuses or dance around the stepped-up marketing regulations, just transform the whole cigarette pack into a three dimensional warning label.”

"I would hesitate to tell a surgeon how he should initiate the first cut, or tell the airplane pilot that I think he should move to another altitude for faster travel. But heck if I haven’t had someone walk past my desk and offer unsolicited tips on how I could improve a design."

Lexus LF-A








"Lexus forges into exotic sports car territory with the LF-A concept vehicle. Integrating the simple elegance of the new Lexus design initiative with racing–inspired style, sculpted curves and fluid lines make a dynamic statement. The clean lines of the two-seat cockpit are minimalist and futuristic, so there’s no distraction from the impressive ride." - Flyfly.com

I hope this car comes of the line looking like this because this concept really isn't all that outrageous looking, like most concept cars. I love the clean look of it.

So today was my last day interning at Lemon Yellow. I want to thank Erika, Julian, Stephan, and Olly for the opportunity to intern there. Design internships are always fun, you learn about design, people, and life in general. On an end note i can't wait to see the stuff i did there get produced. "Helvetica, Woot" LOL

Boonoakley





So today i went to lunch with my homeboy Stan and he put me on to this studio called Bonnoakley. What's dope about this studio is there whole site is on youtube and they use the popup links in the videos to redirect you to other parts/pages of their website on youtube. You have to view it and navigate it for yourself.

Mike Perry

I just downloaded the Colin Munroe mixtape "Colin Munroe is the unsung hero" and i really like the album cover work and saw on the back that is was designed by Mike Perry. Which makes sense since i like a bunch of the stuff he does for Urban Outfitters and his book Handjob. Check out more of his work at his site.
