The stationers is us hate, all stationers – and the graphic designer in us hates all graphic designers. We are all about the side eye, the jealousy, the wacom masochism: Our souls are ill at ease with the weight of being a design being.
Do you know which creative miscreants have added to our woes? Piling another couple of kilos on our Atlas like responsibility, it is Jacques and Lise. Designs so cloyingly sweet that they will give you type 2 diabetes with a single glance.
We’ve got some seriously hot visual puns going on! Jacques and Lise consider yourself officially hated on.
Like the recession, this is a double dip… yesterday we were cooing over the place settings from the Sepia Smiles, but like the song says ‘What a difference a day makes’.
*cue spurious song*
As afer 24 *spurious Keifer…baking*
We are crying, we don’t have a Sepia Smile, we have a Sepia Snarl… it coffee stains dear hearts, and despite the allegations of a number of toothpaste brands due to late nights trying to beat off the competition, attempting to fight our way to the top in the design jungle. The teeth are getting a caffeine tan that would make TOWIE skin envious…
Yeah… see this…
And this…
And this…
Well all of it has conspired to make us cry some serious salt water. Speaking of Salt Water, some spurious Julian Lennon. Picture us rocking backwards and forwards to this…
Actually, we just realised that Julian Lennon looks a bit like Data from The Next Generation, that’s temporarily stopped us crying – we’re now scouring the internets to see if they’ve been in the same place at the same time, as we might lay bets that they are the same person.
These are a few little things that I proud to have worked, but there is much more to go into my portfolio – if you want to see other abuse of pixels go to www.haboglabo.com.
So, we tricked you with design envy as it was all about us. However, this is all about the work of someone else, and man are we green! You hear about fairytale weddings, but fairytale invitations?
We were always told that love isn’t a fairy story – unless you want to count the revisionist version of Snow White (oh we could make a K-Stu & R-Patz joke) but that would be wrong… However, have you heard the version where things got so bad with the housekeeping, and dwarves that in a act of fairy tale Euthanasia, Snowy decided to have an apple pie and an appletini with what remained of the apple her Royal Wickedness tried to off her with…
Oh you haven’t heard that version, that’s because we just made it up. Anyhoo, gorgeous illustration cuteness, a fairy story invite for the fair couple, with gorgeous illustration by paper captain . We want to have a bite of the apple too.
*sigh*
The design envy goes to paper captain
Nothing wrong with a little self love said the narcissist to the mirror – as you know my bit on the side, the other side to my coin, the bird to my bee is … design so instead of envying other people – today I envy myself in a post dedicated to things that I’ve made in the last few months. Not all of them just a few pretties I will annoy you even more once I’ve molested the pixels of my portfolio again.
Branding + Logo + Website // Slap-London
You might recognise a familiar face – this is a project that I designed for my rather lovely bestie and partner in crime. You can see her give rather amazing face and she paints bodies, and does the MUA stuff too! She’s rather awesome – you can follow her on twitter too!
Branding + Logo // Lisa Jane: Photographer
I made a Logo for the lovely Lisa Jane Photography, this was hand drawn not a Bezier insight. With my fair hand and a charcoal pencil it is the best fun that I had either lying down or standing up. Other than the logo there were badges and stamps that were made to. I like stamps, nothing better than screaming bam and making the table shake
The super talented Kate Edmondson is a design talent to be reckoned with – I created a mirror site to go with her rather lovely Flash site, since Jobs is making my life difficult in the Flash department. A waste of learning I tells you boo! Well, not utterly but I wasn’t planning to add another coding language to my learnings. *sigh* But the site is full of Kate’s stunning work!
These are a few little things that I proud to have worked on , but there is much more to go into my portfolio – if you want to see other abuse of pixels go to www.haboglabo.com.
