Due to several requests from visitors on my blog, I’ve decided to make the series My Tribute To Wood available for purchase. As of now, I’ve only uploaded 4 selected pieces, but I’m planning on adding more in the future. Also, you’ll find my “Fjordens Dag 2011” poster available as a very large print. Head over to the store to check it all out.
I’ve made a typographic layout of the title “Omveje & Genveje” (Translation from Danish: “Detours & Shortcuts”) and played around with the three dimensional expression, transforming each letter into an individual construction/building. The yellow route flowing in and out between these “buildings”, is the visual representation of Detours & Shortcuts, and at the same time, it helps connect the individual buildings, as well as leading the eyes down through the poster in a playful way. This labyrinth like constellation encourages the viewer to explore and try out alternative routes.
So, I just clicked into the US version of the PayPal site, and noticed a cool card swiper add-on for smart phones. I clicked on the link to get more info, and on the next page I clicked the Watch the demo button. Then a video popped up (so far so good) but it was upside down. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was, that the video was a 1 minute long handheld recording of an employee at PayPal, being “interviewed” by a co-worker. Here’s a transcript:
Employee 1: So Avedis(?)… What do you like about PayPal?
Employee 2: PayPal, uhm… It’s a really cool company, and I love working here. I think our team is awesome.
Employee 1: What do you think about Norm? (chuckles)
Employee 2: Norm, uhm… What ever Norm says, I go with that.
Employee 1: Me too! (laughs).
This Friday, Jonas and I had our second Tour de Gammon, starting out at the English pub and later over at Republikken. We had some epic battles, and even though Jonas won this tour, I’m still able to live with it because I actually pulled a Backgammon on him (and that rarely happens). Also, pretty much every game we played ended up being too close for comfort in the end, with only a couple of tokens of difference between us. It was awesome!
Tillykke Line
