this entrance is sweet
- 'did you remember'? are they asking about a previous parking experience from another day? no, 'do you remember'.SteveJobs
- inside poster signage is too crazy for me thohellojeehae
- but that would have made 2 blank windows in a rowBrownjohn

- Great point. "DO" would have made more sense, plus it would have made it so the whole statement was centered: _DO_YOU_sisu

too many signs in that first pic. Information overload. It will distract from the task of driving.

A bit of a vanity project. And in that light, I suppose it's more art than anything else. As art, does it speak to anyone? It doesn't really do anything for me personally, but I still have mad respect for her work.

I only have mediocre respect for her work.

^ Yeah...I wonder how many people will crash their cars in there.

Exactly what you want in a low-ceilinged, blind-corner-filled maze of ramps and pillars and moving metal boxes: distractions in every direction.

only designers can park there

Looks good but just doesn't work... You would forget where you parked you car within 5 minutes of leaving it. Once you found it, you'd have a crash trying to exit

makes me shake my head and mutter "white people..."

I'm normally a big fan of her work. But I think this is literally a wreck or 50 (waiting to happen). Nice typography, but it's a communication failure.
Oh, and that's some very large poor grammar.

All those phrases as you're pulling into the garage are distracting. There's a reason why stop-signs are simply bright red with the word "stop". Why the fuck is there a sign that says, "slow and steady wins the race."
Plus the shopped pics may look good since they're crisp white and black. But that color choice surprised me, she should know better being from NYC. That shit will get FILTHY beyond recognition in a matter of weeks.
She's always done design work that borders on vanity fair.

Redo it.
