Obviously, its been since haloween that I posted, and I wanted to show how I decorate the yard for the night. I was realy wondering if all the weird stares I get from my neighbors is worth the hassle this year, but all night kids that came to the door kept saying "Your house is the coolest!" and "wow! this one is super spooky, it's the best!" and I knew that no matter what it feels like being the freak on the block, the kids get it and appreciate it! Sage didn't know quite what to go as for Haloween this year, so when I found a cheap makeup kit at Meijer for 5 bucks, I convinced him it was better than any store bought mask. His friends agreeed!

Everyone has to make their own apple ad. New class requirement. Thanks Jo.

Here's a candidate for the Blue Staters and The Red Staters! The perfect blend of Hillary Clinton and George Bush. It's spooky how much this looks like a real politician isn't it? Well if Hillary and George had a baby...(shudder)...this is what it would look like!

What a great idea this is! Two designers, one lightbox of five or six images, one type-style, and a single concept. The designers come up with a single page layout and are judged over who came up with the best design. Check it out here! Veer Lightboxing Also from the folks at Veer, new movie coming to DVD is called Helvetica, the Film Can they make an interesting documentary about one of the most neutral, basic, sans-serif typefaces of all time? I can't wait to see, and I hope for Christmas I get the Helveticup!

I'm kind of excited about this little photoshop. The guy as Vader is John C. Malone. He made his money when he was one of the heads of TCI cable wich was sold to ATT for 58 billion. He is currently the head of Liberty Media, which owns Starz and Encore movie channels,Home Shopping Network and QVC, Ticketmaster, Lending Tree, Citysearch, and others. He also owns more stock in News Corp (which owns FOX) than anyone without the last name Murdoch, and he currently owns nearly as much stock in Time Warner as Ted Turner. He has the nickname "Darth Vader" because of his relentless business tactics, and travels the country frequently in a relatively modest Winnebago. He is a huge player in the media market, but stays away from the spotlight. Pretty interesting guy. Anyway, I'm including a paper about him in the magazine for my DMED120 class. I'll post the finished article later.

color on this one ain't quite right either.
