iStockPhoto - Imagine Babies - Nintendo DS

An actual printed box for a Nintendo DS game called Imagine Babies. I could care less about the game, but I sure do love that they were too cheap to even purchase the rights to the image of the two babies on the bottom-right! Last time I checked, an image on iStockphoto would run you about $12 for a print quality version.

 


And a couple of other things that I find humor in…

 

Funny and true

Apple, Google, and You

 

 

Environmentalism at it’s finest

Save the wales

 

 

And one more for the road…

Coincidence?
Clinton /= Prosperity

Especially like Kevin Cornell and some fellow name Matthew Sutter. Together they have created The Superest to find out who is the ’superest hero of them all.’ From the site:

The Superest is a continually running game of My Team, Your Team. The rules are simple:

Player 1 draws a character with a power. Player 2 then draws a character whose power cancels the power of that previous character. Repeat.

The whole thing impresses me. The idea, the drawings, the imagination of each, and the fantastic hand-drawn typography (especially done by Cornell). Start at the beginning (bottom) and watch as their imaginations try and top one another.

I love when a client hires you to design something and then tells you how to design it. Not much different than ordering a steak at Texas Roadhouse and then trying to show them how to grill it.

My job is to make you look better. Let me do my job.

I can’t even fathom the time it takes to maintain this site. Unbelievable.

Mitnick's metal business card

Belonging to famous hacker Kevin Mitnick (he may be good at what he does but he needs help with his website). You can get your own set of metal business cards if you so choose (again, website help needed) for about $1.80 per card.
