Design is honest. Advertising is lying. Jun 12, 08, 3:14 a.m.

Is design honest? is it really?

don't we pedal unnecessary things as much as any advertising scum? whilst simultaneously sidestepping responsibility by cloaking the design industry in the language of a moral high ground?

am i just hungover?

Printed edges? May 28, 08, 8:08 a.m.

I need to get something printed so that the end result has blue edges, with white artwork on the front. How would this be done?

White screenprinted onto thick blue card?

Similar in technique to this:

Technical / isometric drawings May 22, 08, 2:42 a.m.

Anyone got links to some good-looking technical isometric style drawings?

I did filter but must be using the wrong words...

Boris Has taken our Bus Booze away!!! May 17, 08, 2:13 a.m.

As of June 1st it will be illegal to have open alcohol on any public transport in London.... This means no red stripe on the bus on the way to Brick Lane, no can of Stella for the long district line ride.

It's like Boris made a law especially for Moth to reward him for all that campaigning!

"On Sat May 31st we take over the circle line for a few hours, everyone sipping politely on their open can of booze for the last legal time. People of London, lets have one last hoorar!"

Fresh from our jolly snow-filled tour of the French Alps, my band The Mentalists! will be teaming up with the saxtastical genius of Chik Budo for a noise-blasting night that will truly rock the free world.

Yes, The Enterprise is a small, sweaty venue, but that's what makes live music great.

Tickets £4 if you email to get on the guestlist! Otherwise it's £6 on the door.

new live tracks Mar 14, 08, 5:32 a.m.

my band – The Mentalists! – recorded 3 new tracks on Tuesday.

they are just quick live recordings but at least it sounds better than my crappy garageband skillz... what do you reckon?

needs loads more bass in the mix. and the reverb on the vox is annoying!

Dodgiest london bus stop Feb 28, 08, 2:21 a.m.

my vote:
outside camden town tube, next to barclays.

every single time i catch a bus from that stop, no matter what time of day or night, someone is selling crack and all sorts are buying it.

what's your vote for dodgiest london bus stop?

Weak Animal Alternatives Feb 18, 08, 4:49 a.m.

You know how loads of product releases have their code names based on some powerful animal: Tiger, Panther, Dragon, etc

i think i'd identify more with a weakling animal release.

Ferret 1.0? Wombat 2.0? Mink 10.4?

What's your favourite weakling animal?

Film interface designer Feb 8, 08, 8:32 a.m.

ok so i've forgotten the name of the guy who has had a hand in most of the fake computer interfaces you see in futuristic films...

arrgh i know this is vague. his site is blue-ish gray, everything is written in DIN or similar. mmm i think he might have worked on Minority Report. Did his surname start with W?

yes i have tried googling that vague mess.

my brain is clearly swiss cheese.

what the font? Jan 17, 08, 4:22 a.m.

http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=…

sorry for such a type 1.0 question

it's not helv neue, it's not univers, it's not swiss. myfont's fontfinder isn't helping - note the angles on the S and the elongated interior of the D.
