The Dirtydiaper

It’s well known that when you get a DeLorean up to 88mph there better be a road built on the other side, or you’ll end up in that farmer’s barn…  right?   WRONG!   The Earth is spinning at 1,000mph.  Even if you went back in time for one hour you might end up in the ocean.  Not to mention that the Earth spins around the sun, which spins around the Milky Way, which flies away from the big bang, which (according to Men In Black) sits at the bottom of some alien’s marble bag!  …I hope Marty packed a spacesuit with that hover-board.

Seems accurate to me.

The design world is often very hostile towards the font, Comic Sans MS, originally created for Microsoft to use in their office applications. Generally the thinking is that fonts have very specific purposes and carry different meanings. Comic Sans could be described as round,  having soft-edges, child-like and generally happy looking.  The hostility towards this font arises when it is used in the professional and corporate world, where a more serious font would be appropriate. Obviously, a lot of this is subjective.

Generally, I agree that Comic Sans has no place in the professional design world. There are hundreds of fonts that are more appealing and effective. Despite the disdain for this font it is still often used in many inappropriate places. See Ban Comic Sans. In response to this, a small and passionate group of people have begun a sort of campaign to ends it’s use.  While perusing my papers on the internet I came across this comical site, Criminal Comic Sans. The site is well designed and very informative in regards to the use of Comic Sans.

Great ipad case design from DODOcase. They recently added the option to pick the color of the inner binding. Originally, they only offered red backing. Watch the master book binders build a DODOcase after the break.
