I don't really see why you'd want to diss some innocent's home page? It's not like she's claiming to be an authority or is hoping to sell her services. In fact, why not encourage her a bit? She's got a unique outlook, fine choice in music and a cool domain name.
Go, girlfriend!
er, anyway, the reason I'm writing this is as a form of intro - because I'm quite curious about your branding work for Mercedes - what is that for? Are they one offs or for general sale?

I see they modified your concept a bit.. http://www.mbusa.com/campaigns/r…
Do you do much of this kind of work? If so - do you know anything of the application process?
*just curious!

HAHA LAURENS SITE IS THE ROXXORZ!!!!!!!!!11
p.s. MBUSA's final designs on http://www.mbusa.com/campaigns/r… are the wiggitywack.
the tongue logo is iconic but the blue starburst and the very very very VERY poor font choice make this resemble a crappy bootleg tshirt made by some disinterested foreign company that has never even heard of the band

The benzo design that was selected for this project was in fact based on the stones last album cover "the bigger bang" which used the same graphics as the car. The design was NOT recommended by us but was requested specifically by MBUSA and was looked at and approved by the band. Yes Mick and company get the final say in the design. 15 designs were shown this was selected. That's the way it goes sometimes.

I was not hating on the site..thought it was a great example of how desktop publishing is killing our industry...

Hey people lighten up! It's just a really funny bad website. So what. It's okay to laugh at stuff like that once in a while. Don't be so self righteous. Like you've never poked a little fun at something before. Whatever.

In this case the car was painted by hand not wrapped in vinyl.

it's no biggie, devilkitty - i just thought it a bit mean to criticize what is very much a wee personal site.
Maybe i'm just a hypocrite though, because i'd be the first to take the piss out of something like..
..but that's different - he actually gets money for his tat (presumably)
- 63merc0

(jul 14 07, 06:00)id say that site is more original than flourish, spray cans and drips which have been ass fucked to hell by kids for the last 5 years.
- Devilkitty0
Hmmm. Designerror. Name says it all.

Tee hee!

i used to think this site was for an informed community of creative minded people. but pricks like designerror and mimeartist spend more time droppin hate. In my line of work it's d-cks like these whose minimal design ability and lack of motivation amount to the rise of mediocre ideas and trendy bullsh-t design that only go as far as a lame silkscreen t-shirt. Don't be so god damn self righteous.
there is a difference between good and bad...right and wrong... design and desktop publishing crap. keep hating all you want.
