happy pottying...

Welcome to the new era of bathrooms (or as I used to call them for fun in high school, the water closet, or WC). Glad to see so much progress is being made where personal hygiene is concerned.

Thanks travis for spotting this rather unusual perversion of such a "one-trick" typeface.

I don't even think this post is making sense. On to the picture.

corny and lame and terrible type

You've probably seen this bad boy somewhere before, but I love how papyrus is the default, all-inclusively "religious" typeface. Well to make matters even worse, it is even tracked out so it looks more like floating letters to me. I mean if you're going to insist on using papyrus at least do yourself a favor and don't butcher it even more. Okay, okay, if you're using Papyrus in the first place you probably don't understand why spacing (tracking) the letters out so far looks so bad anyway. You actually probably thought it was a neat effect. In fact I'm surprised you even know how to do it. Have fun living in ignorance.

By the way, what does that even mean? We are all children of the same universe? Are you high? (Don't answer that) I think we all know any religious group that uses an upside down pink triangle has some issues, and may not in fact be "children of the same universe" as I am.

graffiti + papyrus

I recently ran across this brochure. I struggled with whether or not to post it, but Kylee Pearson convinced me that I must. Papyrus never takes a rest, so neither can I.

I just think it is an interesting combination, graffiti and papyrus. The designer was probably trying to make a statement about how ancient Egyptians were the first to really do graffiti and all art nowadays has really stemmed from that. (though they did it with chisels and wall paint) In which case, papyrus was the perfect selection of typeface.



In all seriousness, I love the front logo/image. It's kinda vintage/urban/simple and the photography is really nice as well. Not a bad brochure, I would probably just make sure people know that papyrus is referring to ancient Egyptian graffiti, because not everyone is as keen as I am when it comes to reading into that context.
