I only caught the Google Doodle on New Year’s Eve 2012, which I thought was nice, only today realising it was a clever two-parter. The one I saw was below, which is the party:

The very next day (New Years Day 2013) showed the updated Google doodle portraying the clean up and seeming reflection upon the ended year. Very nice indeed.

A little explanation of the part phase of the Google doodle can be found via Websonic.nl which can be seen below (click for larger)

Happy New Year folks!

Came across these funny slogans remixed by Sebastiao Ribeiro Ferreira and António Garcia. These are so true, the wikipedia one in general for my dissertation in uni!

We took some brands that everyone recognizes and did a little play on the slogans,
as politically incorrect as we could.

Just came across this great series of designer inspired posters entitled: Confessions of a Designer from Anneke Short.

In design, as in any domain, there are certain preconceptions about what designers think and do. This is a collection of quotes that I have either thought myself or that I have heard my designer friends say. Personally, I would say that the biggest preconceived idea is that a project will take however long it takes to sketch it up, whereas nine times out of ten, it is the concept and not the implementation that takes time. Hence ‘just come up with a few quick logos’ being a total oxymoron. 

All the posters from the series can be purchased here.
