I tried posting this on the blog the other day but I don’t think I did it right.

If anyone has seen Cool Runnings, they know what an amazing and hilarious movie it is.  The movement and positions of the movie quotes in this typography creation fits perfectly with the entire feel of the movie. Even though I am not watching the actually scenes, hearing the words and watching the movements make me laugh out loud.

Enjoy!

Interesting Public Relations Page

In another class I’m working with PR practitioners; however, when I saw this page (a guest speaker coming to my class) I instantly thought of GRA 217. On this webpage the theme, word mark, office building pictures, and contact information always stay the same no matter what links you click. This reminds me of how important it is to have accessible information and a clean webpage/word mark. I just think that this branding company did a really good job presenting information on an accessible webpage.

Mad Men

I have a new obsession– Mad Men. My roommates and I just finished the first season, and while the show is amazing in its entirety, my favorite part is the opening credits. And when they look like this, who could blame me?
