if i choose to eat meat again

really? again?

oh yes.. its that time of year again...

brace yourself, fool

your buying WHAT!?

yes.
yes its NYC garbage in a cube.

A recent NPR story profiled an intriguing artist and entrepreneur named Justin Gignac. In that story, titled: “Treasure or Trash? Artist Says It’s in the Packaging”, Gignac puts forth a persuasive argument. While an intern at MTV, Gignac relates that he engaged in a discussion with his fellow workers. One of them expressed the opinion that “. . .they thought package design wasn’t important”, according to Gignac.

That made Gignac rise to the challenge. “So I figured the only way to prove them wrong would be to try to package something that absolutely nobody in their right mind would ever want to buy.” Garbage.

That was a few years ago. Since he began, Gignac has sold over 1000 trash cubes of--selective New York City garbage--around the globe. Making the cubes “compositionally appealing”, Gignac sold his cubes initially as “gag gifts” for $10 each. Now, the cubes sell for as much as $100. Each sealed box comes signed, numbered and tagged as

“Garbage of New York City”.

A small affixed sticker records the date the trash was selected for the cube.

camerrraa

yeah.
awesome.
what a genius idea- a paper pin hole camera.
i hate when you think you invented something. then it shows up a few weeks later- and even better than you would have made it.

like that time i thought it would be awesome to make a room that was made out of trampolines and cushions...
then i realised it already existed in jumping-castle form.

fail.

bunnies?

this is the REAL meaning of easter

rutty mc rut rut

im currently in a gigantic rut-
i know not what to do but whine about it on my blog.

yay..
yay for my readers who have to suffer the whining.
although- as per usual- it will be punctuated with delicious and at times, hillarious snippets of things ive found on the wonderful labyrinth that is the interwwweb.

package design-
brief. as interpreted by me. so it will be brief..
the task of designing a socially, economically and entironmentally sustainable packaging solution for an existing product, to (hopefully.. get good marks at uni) resolve a packaging issue/problem, or create something that makes our lives easier (prettier) and more sustainable..

blah blah...

i found some dope package designs which i think people need to see!

this specimen is Swedish crisp bread made by the Japanese-.. oooOOOooo ergonomic.

japanese banana drink
...every burger...
i actually used to eat these... they taste like weird.
mmmm..."beware... too healthy to resist" reads the slogan...hmmmm
"beware... boogers" comes to my mind...
this is actually dope.
james jean wine..
i dont care if it tastes like liquid gorilla boogers
the clue is in the name...


yep.



rut

thank you

thank you to the person who stole my idea for a matchbox for packaging design.
... they probably pulled it off better than i would have anyway... so im kinda glad they did this- the world needed these matches.


and thank you pay day- for validating my purchases...
not thank you to my stupid camera which is still broken.but thats entirely my fault.
.. backwards photos it is!
x
enjoy the sun!

with my permission

... and that my friends...

is the dad joke of the After (in this case during) Grog Blog.

thanks toby!

my brain hurts

(warning- this may bore some- for these people- i have punctuated the writings with amusing and quite irrelevant pictures)

so today, in my lessons.
(this sounds like some period novel- where i might be learning to cure plums or crochet)


no.. today i was reading this article about design and its effect on the environment, etc etc etc. Came across the writings of this guy called.. Anthony= or something. Pretty predominant design theorist.
anyway- he started talking about how much information people -everyone- puts out into the world everyday.
there was this crazy statistic how 95% of theorists and scientists (smart people with published work) are alive today- 95% FUCKING PERCENT!

and all of them are trying to find ways of sifting through information- like.. nerve systems and jungles and foreign molecular structures and the internet etc. and the way they do that is by writing down MORE shit for people to sift through!

did that make sense?
but what im getting at is this. when the first tanks and ships and planes were built- there would be these massive MASSIVE manuals and running instructions- books and books and millions and millions of pages long.. and they would have to carry this shit in the cockpit with them- when the plane was flown/boat was sailed etc.
there are so many instances where the pure weight of this paper would actually weigh down the cockpits of planes and actually change the fucking things centre of gravity and change the maneuverability and shit. \
i do realise that any weight on board would cause this to happen- ie people, supplies etc. but man- thats alot of paper. and a lot of info to sift through...
RECYCLE! USE USBS instead of burning disks! yay!
people today are producing between 1 and 2 billions gigabites of original information per year, thats roughly 250 megabytes for every man woman and child on the planet.
yay!


enough of my rambles.
yay. if you are feeling as art wanky as me

hmm..
