"top design takes over grand central"
...or so trumpeted some pr fed web site or other regarding the bravo event. everything went off without a hitch (good thing no one looked too close), and the site has already, sadly, been taken down (awww). it will live on forever in my heart, as well as here. as promised here are some photos in case you couldn't be there. it was nice to see my mental picture brought to bigger than life proportions. but it doesn't last forever on on to the next thing it is.
and now a couple referrals for creative junkies. i wanted to alert copyranter that i was going to link to him, but i couldn't find a contact. he's doing what i'd like to be doing if i wasn't trying to just come at you with the good stuff. but he's just saying what we're all thinking, and are too needy (or greedy) for the money to say. i don't think it's good etiquette to link to someone unless you ask first, but, hey, if you ever see this and one it taken off just let me know!
also i read an article by rance crain in ad age that put into words, better than i ever could, my feelings for the current state of design. i find design to be too flip and momentary, too pretnetious, or just lame. there's not many agencies or designers hitting my sweet spot these days. mainly i feel like the homework isn't being done. if for some reason the link changes the title is 'Here's a Weird Idea, Marketers: Create Ads to Build Your Brand'. i mean the temptations had their moves and dancing down, but they also had those songs. nowadays no one looks beyond the moves.
