Marvel Comics took the Volkswagen “The Force” video and made their own dupe on it. While still wondering the legality behind it, I think it was a simple, easy, and effective idea to market their new cinematic release of…
Hatch is holding its 4th annual easter egg design contest. Honestly I’ve never even heard of the contest until recently, although I knew about Hatch as a firm. There are some pretty good ones in there, my favorite of course…

My friend and design consultant, Justin Morris, was recently indicted into lettercult. Now this isn’t the Pulitzer prize, but in the design world it is pretty rad to have your work posted on here. Justin is a Tyler School of…
Some interesting photo pieces by Oliver Ratsi. Ratsi is a French artist with an unfortunate flash built website, but I’ll look past it after seeing these photos. Basically if you couldn’t see it already, Oliver has deconstructed architecture that he…
