Today I went to pickup my mail from the (stupid slow) Mail Forwarding Service I have down here in Paraguay. Little did I know the ISO50 Posters I ordered last week were already sitting there waiting for me. Warning: Poster Pr0n content ahead.
UPDATE: In the spirit of providing a full review, I just ate the “Soft’N Chewy, Hard ‘N Fruity” candy that came inside the mailing tube with the posters, and here’s the verdict: Gooood. After finishing it, my wife made an interesting remark: “I just hope it was Scott who put the candy on the tube and not just some random candy the mailman (or anybody else) dropped” Oh crap.

You get mad at your .PSD for weighing more than 25 MB. On Saturday I re-did the Winning Poster from the scratch on 18 x 24 @ 300 DPI and prepare it for printing and every CMD + S took about 5 minutes. Photoshop CS3 ate about 10 GB on temporary scratch files. Boy am I excited to finally send this to the printer.
If anyone wants to be notified when they ready for their debut, be sure to let your email on the comments. Thank you!

I suppose you’re wondering why I’ve gathered you all here and I understand you have more important places to be, so I promise it won’t take more than 10 minutes. I will ask you however, that you let me finish what I have to say before you start bashing me.

FEB 25TH UPDATE: I just got two new mentions on Smashing Magazine. One on the “Gallery Of Date Stamps And Calendars” article and the other one on the “Breathtaking Typographic Posters” article. Woot! Woot!
This morning my brother tipped me about the “45 Excellent Blog Designs” article on Smashing Magazine and guess what, Ten Thousand Things made it on the list. Maaan I Wish every Friday were like this!
PS: Please Don’t mind the Kanye West looking dog, I just couldn’t resist to post him, plus I owed him a favor. Don’t ask.

Contrary to the ordinary course of nature, today I actually won something. Not just anything, I won 1st Place at the Veerle’s “What is Graphic Design Poster Competition”. Seriously, this is really incredible for someone who never won anything (well except for that one time when I won the “Get a Haircut from your Older Brothers Lucky Draw” and end up looking like a Gremlin for a whole month).

What can I say, I do like’em, so I put together a inspiring collection of 10 Cubes I found over time. Cube lovers, rejoice!

Two out of my three entries made it to the Veerle’s “My Readers are Creative Bees!” post. The response from the Web Scene was AMAZING, with over 660 submitted posters. Needless to say Veerle will have a hard time choosing out the winners.
Here is a visual overview in no particular order of posters that grabbed my attention. If yours isn’t here it doesn’t mean anything other then I can’t possible show them all. Winners will be announced towards the end of the week. In the mean time enjoy!
Can’t wait to see the final results!

I’ve been meaning to send you this letter for quite a while now. I’m sorry I didn’t find the time to write it sooner, it was only because I was either too busy replying your 5th email about the new, updated Creative Brief for the website, or listing the 14 reasons why adding a Flash Intro to your homepage is not “cool” anymore.

Last week Veerle announced her “What is Graphic Design Poster Competition” and while I’m not a poster designer myself, the great prizes were enough motivation to at least give it a try. So on Sunday morning I designed this two pieces called “de-sign” and “And you can take that to the bank”. You can find both of them as well as all other entries on the Flickr Pool. Enjoy!

I’m pretty sure after yesterday coverage of Super Tuesday a lot of you are wondering what’s the deal with that humongous iPhone looking multi-touch screen they have in the Situation Room. No? Ok, maybe is just me then.
CNN likes to call it “The Magic Wall”, and I have to say it’s amazing gestural interface (a la minority report) not only sets a milestone on data visualization but also provides a total different perspective for the audience, so I decided to research more on the technology behind it and I found a few interesting things about it.
