The Reflex Blue Show with Nate Voss and Donovan Beery, Episode 11: Epic Fail

Let me get this out of the way quickly: WE ARE OLD. We didn’t used to be old. Well, Donovan did, but I sure didn’t. Then suddenly we looked around (and recorded this show) and said the words “youth” and “culture” in tandem aloud, and found ourselves on the other side of the great divide. thankfully we welcome old friends John Henry Muller and Dave Nelson to the show to tell us how we’re doing it wrong. Listen, and if your ears are quick enough, you can actually hear the last vestiges of my youth slipping into the abyss. 

Also: Inexplicably, I swear in this show. A Lot. You’ve been warned.

Mad Phil Documents the Suck that is Papyrus

by Donovan Beery on May 28, 2008 at 8:36 am

Papyrus seems to be a bit overused (shock). Papyrus also seems to be used not so appropriately in many occasions (even bigger shock). These are just two of the reasons it became the first Taboo Typeface on the podcast, back in 2005.

However, when we visited Nashville last year, Mad Phil was telling me that he enjoyed taking photos of all of the places he sees Papyrus, sharing that his feelings of hate towards this font run much deeper then my own. Since then, I’ve found some particularly nice samples where it is cut-out, or drop shadowed, where even I couldn’t resist taking a photo and sending them his way. Thankfully, Mad Phil has started a Flickr group dedicated to the typeface so the enjoyment can be shared by all of those who share the displeasure of seeing this font overtake all of the others in its path.

The Reflex Blue Show with Nate Voss and Donovan Beery, Episode 10: The Chicago International Poster Thing

This week we discuss at lenth the Chicago International Poster Biennial (hereby pronounced “bee-ennial”), which eventually turns into a bunch of whining about rock posters again. We welcome Superstar Designer Drew Davies to the show for the first time ever since the last show and rock it out. Not discussed: neon signs. Peace.

Chicago International Poster Biennial Entries Gallery

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

Post your entries to the 2008 Chicago International Poster Biennial on Flickr and join our group.

Thousands, perhaps millions of posters will be entered and only 100 will win, so we at 36 Point wanted to showcase as many of the entries as possible to help celebrate poster designers around the world. This gallery is built to house those.tif files that are required of the entry process, so once you send yours off, load them up!

If you don’t have a Flickr account and hate free things that are awesome, post a link to your entry (jpegs please) in our comments and we’ll see that it gets added to the group. Please be sure when adding images to our group, to set their permissions to “public.”

Winners will be announced by the CIPB in the Fall of 2008. Good luck!

Chicago International Poster Biennial Opens

This week the Design Observer announced the CIPB. “Seehpppppbt?” Okay, that’s not an acronym’able name. Let’s call it the Chicago International Poster Biennial, which is a first (while other IPB’s exist, this is Chi-town’s first), and is free to enter. While on the one hand, I’m excited, on the other, I’m hoping not to be let down.
