layout by allen hulburt - circa 77

This volume presents an in-depth study of the history of 20th century graphic design, covering the influences of major art movements, from cubism to Picasso and Magritte. The author explores the basic architecture of the printed page: form and function, symmetry and asymmetry and methods of dividing space. The text also explains how to combine word and image in a layout to achieve effective communication using typography, photography and illustrative techniques. The book concludes with a discussion of the psychology of perception and illusion – how we respond to what we see and how the process of communication works. Allan Hurlburt is the author of “The Design Concept” and “Photo/Graphic Design”.

I was staring at this poster while tsiboging at burger king earlier today. Insomnia has it perks it says. Quite insensitive if you ask me. Insomnia is a disorder and millions suffer with the pesky “I”.

Imagine other products having that line of marketing thought… like “arthritis has its benefits” … “catarata is awesome” etc.

I for one had insomnia some years back, albeit a milder type.  I can’t sleep. I even resorted (not snorted) to the effects of Neozep. Basta humatsing ako ng 3x sa gabi, it Neozep time! Being awake and not truly functional, you can’t always think right, pimples left and right, darker and bigger eyebags resulting to “syet kamuka ko na syota mo” feeling.

And, sometimes those who suffer from insomnia more often, they suffer from the primary disorder like psycho problems, personal problem, or even physical problem, effect lang ang insomnia. So, it’s a serious matter Mr. Burger King! And that tag line aint witty.

The next time I visit your chain and I still see that, I’ll report you to DSWD, ke dinkly soliman.

See Bono, Will Smith, Mr. Bean into the blue. Here.

People Power Day.

A coup d’etat supported-by-the-church-and-people-day.

A jolly-jumping-Fidel-day.

Cory Day.

Ninoy Day.

Dyosko-day. For us, today is an ordinary working day.

And… ang panata ko today, mag-post ng something yellow pics from our stock photos.

BTW, a leader can’t do much to save the pearl of the orient. Mapa-tycoon o gumanap ng goon. Mapa anak ng bayani or si Bayani mismo. Mapa-bata ni Gloria or isang isip bata.It’s us individually who can make it happen. Promises are cheap.

Noy?

Erap?

Villar?

Gibo?

Gordon?

I’ll spell “suffrage.” Capital S – U – F – F – E – R.

Real people power is the answer.

Work hard, obey the laws, employ people, be productive, work-at-home, work-at-office, spend some pesos to rev up trade, invest on stocks, refrain from those useless demonstrations, print t-shirts, be creative and sell your ideas, be a start-up dot com mogul, open up a massage spa, do banking, open up a grocery store, do business, pay taxes.

I FUCKIN DON’T EXPECT MUCH FROM THE NEXT PRESIDENT. HE DOESN’T MATTER MUCH.

I bought this baby on board sign last month but it still sits inside the drawer. I am still having 2nd thought into really putting this “baby on board” mark.

Where I drive - Metro Manila - , (some) taxi drivers, bus drivers, and super disciplined jeepney drivers… this sign could very well mean for them,”a-ha - you have a baby in there, you’ll be soft and wimp and you’ll give way to my effin tank (jeep)” and I’ll be abused.

I rarely bring the baby with me in my Metro drives anyway. So for now, it’s still unwrapped and un-sticked.

Meantime, I have another sign in my car, the cool rockin Overdrive plates.

Oh btw, we have a Baby on Board t-shirt design we made last year. Check it out here.

But I am posting still here just to promote Guess wear ‘coz the kiddie clothes are fantastic. In my own little way, let me make them richer.
