Bands named after animals

Great poster design by 33rpm.

World’s best kept auto secret

Want an easy way to know which side of the car your gas tank is on? The answer is staring you in the face. Look at the fuel gauge on your dash. You will see a small icon of a gas pump. If the handle on the gas pump extends to the left, then your tank is on the left side. If the gas pump is on the right, well you know how this ends. Enjoy.

Pantene ad flaunts in colossal proportions

Wait a sec, this ad is for a hair-care product? My bad, the exploding cleavage threw me off. Oh there it is, in the the tiny barely readable circle of copy next to the model’s ear, “Make sure your hair is the second thing he looks at.” Once again, douchebag advertising.

OMG! You’re such a good debater!

Sarah Palin Debate Flow Chart. Hilarious.  [Thanks Jason! via Political Wire]

The normality artist

London artist Jean Jullien can teach you how to carry your ideas or make super cool paper planes. He’s also on point with an incredibly impressive poster exhibition that mixes various print techniques, cut paper and ink on wall. It all feels very DIY and innocent. I dig it. 

Cubicle stupidity burns calories

Terri Krivosha, a partner at a Minneapolis law firm, logs three miles each workday on a treadmill without leaving her desk. Apparently, this office space nut-job finds it easier to exercise while she types than to attend aerobics classes at the crack of dawn.

Typography at the beach

Dutch artist Janno Hahn counts Thom Yorke and coffee on his list of likes. After seeing Hahn’s latest work, we’re going to add his name to our list of brilliant, creative typographers. Clever stuff via FFF.

Obama iPhone App
