I think this is quite a good idea… Printing newspapers as grocery bags. (from EnglishRussia.com) Though it could’ve been better if the bags were paper bags, rather than plastic ones, so that they could be recycled afterwards… Newspapers today in their physical form are sometimes a redundant use of paper anyway, as more and more [...]
Air New Zealand, FUNNY
2009.07.05 12:26
Now this is what I call great promo material. Wittily funny. Hits straight with Air New Zealand‘s tagline for this promo series: they’ve got “nothing to hide“. Hint: Those aren’t real clothes… but body paint :)) The airline has a channel on YouTube for the promo series, and I’ll link to two of them here: [...]
reminiscing an already extinct profession…
2009.06.16 02:02
This is Part II of kucingputi’s piece on movie banner and poster painters. Enjoy! If cinema banner painters are pessimistically waiting for their final day, a similar profession has taken their last breath a decade ago. “I can’t even remember the last time I made a movie poster,” said 55-year old Rusdi, a graphic designer [...]

Karena saking aneh bin ajaib-nya tuh poster2, kok malah jadi menarik ya? :)) (I don’t think the posters were real anyway. Just some funny pics. And they’ve actually been around the Internet for sometime. From Photosight.ru)
Books on (digital) freedom

Those already familiar with the following books (and their topic) can probably skip reading this post and move along. I just posted them here as the books recently came up again in a mailing list I’m subscribed to. But for the uninitiated, I’d recommend a read through them. Freedom of information. Freedom of ideas. Freedom [...]
Soviet propaganda posters
2009.04.07 02:04
Any kind of propaganda should of course be taken with a grain of salt. Here are some Cold-War-era propaganda posters by the Soviet Union against the U.S., which have been archived at EnglishRussia.com (the exact links with the complete collection of posters can be found here and here). Despite their propaganda nature, some of the [...]
