london 2010... Jul 4, 08, 7:18 p.m.

I think it's looking bloody great now. Any applications of the logo / brand that I have recently have been really exciting. It's fresh, its unique, its different, they took a chance, they didn't go with the usual safe shit and I think it's paid off now...

It was ridiculed at first but I think people have slowly began to see what wolff olins have tried to do. We will look back at this in years and I think it will be a turning point in branding! The emphasis is no longer on creating a mark that looks polished, smart, corporate... designed. It's more about what lies behind the logo, the people, the games, the energy.

They call it 'everyone's olympics', and i think they've succeded in creating a brand that is inlcusive and approachable by everyone, not just another safe, boring, but well constructed, corporate logo.

god damn you newstoday or qbn. there was nothing offensive in it. people were having a good old discussion on what was good about the old site.

it's safe to say whoever deleted it is a bit gay.

My little girl started school today...

Off she went with her bag on her back. Her school bag was almost as big as her!

A great day really – a proud moment I must say.

crap at paths Feb 18, 08, 5:18 p.m.

i have this niggly issue with clipping paths, every now and again, for no real reason (it seems to me!) when I create a clipping path the selection area is the portion of the image outside of the object im trying to clip... if you know what i mean.

so basically if i have a pic of a cat or cake that i REALLY want to clip, my clipping path selects the area outside the cake, or cat, instead of the actual cake or cat. (the background, i guess)

i've done about 5 paths so far today and all were fine until now the one at the link below shows how the first path was sh!t.

does anyone have any idea why this happens? i will supply a freshly cut cat or cake to the man and/or woman who can tell me why

lcd soundsystem Jul 22, 08, 4:09 p.m.

I love them. 'Sound of silver' is a seriously addictive album, i find myself listening to it constantly, but i know in another month or two i will have listened to it so much that i will hate it. i hate how i do that.

Also, their site is cool. Check it out. It's so bad, its good, no... its great.

I'm considering.... Jul 21, 08, 4:37 p.m.

applying for this course in basel, switzerland, has anybody had any experience of it ?

I've been working in an design agency for the past 3 years since finishing college but feel like I want to do some more study.

This seems pretty interesting & intensive, but just wondering if anyone here knows somebody/anybody that may have studied there?

Cheers.

Im looking for a little direction on web design.
I have a very basic knowledge of dreamweaver and flash but need to find some help and/or tutorials about building websites.

I realise there are tons of web design tutorials out there but if anyone has used some they've found really good that would be great.... or where exactly is the best starting point for someone like me... is it qbn?

I'm doing some cards for a hamper.
So the brief was to create some a little larger than a business card but im thinking of a piece with 2 or 3 folds – anybody got any nice references for something like this?

It's for food primarily, but i appreciate any references you might have.

thanks
