THINK I SMELL A FAKE. How much did Best Buy and the Satelitte radio company have to pay to have Crispin Porter or W&K do this?

Anyone notice how good the water tastes out of take-away plastic beer cups from baseball games? Whenever i'm dehydrated, i go straight for one of these...weird!

Droste Effect: when a package's artwork features the package itself

April 18, 2008 11:03pm

Evil Jim,

Interesting, example. This seems like one of those times when the company or partnering company goes "our brand message isn't big enough" and a designer looking for an easy out at 5:45pm frames it within a frame, and strangely enough, it fulfills its purpose and makes it into production.

I've noticed something similar to the Droste effect occuring when i surf different, but similar web logs. Ideas tend to repeat and evolve, but generally speaking, come from the same original source, outwards...does that make sense?

F'in brilliant...maybe scalping old M8's would make these more affordable...? ;-)

Frame Hanger: a piece of art you hang coats on

My first thought was, "hmm, interesting, it's flat and certainly looks unique," but it's just leaning against the wall (not very exciting to me). Looks like it was photographed in any old apartment. I can easily imagine this in a really slick lounge...maybe it's just the photo that's turning me off. Great eye catcher, though.

As a graphic designer, I've seen my "talent" flourish at certain times, particularly under times of stress (fear of failure) and also the chance to make some cash. Love it or hate it, I've performed much better at times when I've been motivated by a little green cash.
