Audi TTS “Fountain” commercial
Freelance graphic and web designer, avid photographer and snowboarder whenever I get the chance.
Client: We need to use WeirdoFont on our website.- Clients From Hell
Me: That’s not possible, the font is not a common web font.
Client: Nothing is impossible! It’s just a question of time and money.
Me: Well, OK, I’ll travel around the world and install the font on all internet-connected computers, if you can get the copyright clearance for the font.
Client: That’s more like it! You’ll be ready for the launch next month?

I found this on twitter recently. Best Christmas prank ever!
“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.Great stories. But two things made me take it down.
First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.
Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”

Latin? Where’d ya learn that?
Working on an ad for a client, used Lorem ipsum for filler text:
Client: Got the ad, love it, but what does that text say?
Me: It’s Latin for “This is filler text”
Client: Where did you learn latin?

URL ABC
A simple game by Tim Van Damme:
Go to the address bar in your favorite browser, and type one letter. Start with “a”, end with “z”.
Haven’t been to some of these in ages, and some I hit every day.
What’d you get?
Can you re-upload the photos on my site? I think they are fading from so many people clicking on them.- (via clientsfromhell)
iPhone 3GS, What’s next?
No, this post is not a rumors post - no pictures of a slider iPhone, limo-style stretched iPhone, transparent iPhone, etc.
Here’s the question; What will the next generation of the iPhone be named? The first iPhone was just called the “iPhone”, the second generation was called the “iPhone 3G” and the third generation was called the “iPhone 3GS”. iPhone 4G really isn’t an option, because unlike the iPod, that number is referring to the cell network and there doesn’t seem to be any other logical names. I’m sure that they’ll be able to come up with something now that Steve is back in the house.
Whatever you do Apple, please don’t keep adding letters after 3GS.
That's what nephews are for!
- Prospective client: $400 for a logo?! Why are you so expensive? My nephew has Photoshop—I can just get him to do it.
- Me: Does your nephew have Microsoft Word?
- Prospective client: Yes.
- Me: Then have him write you a novel while he’s at it.
