    Thanks to Memphians' votes, United Pixelworkers, run by Full Stop Interactive in Pittsburgh, has made one of their increasingly popular United Pixelworkers t-shirts featuring our fine city. To celebrate, Will Phillips Jr. and Kerry Crawford, of I Love Memphis, are hosting a get-together at Earnestine and Hazel's on September 5. They're encouraging everyone who bought one to wear their Memphis Pixelworkers shirt for a group photo, but the invitation is extended to every Memphis Designer, Developer, Photographer, Artist, and those who just want to come get a soul burger and a cold beer.

    Learn more at Will's Sleek Design Blog and at Kerry's I Love Memphis blog. Invitation is below. Hope to see everyone there!

  • A Glossary of Brand

    August 27th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Canadian branding firm Compass360, with their tongue-in-cheek Glossary of Brand, is genius. They simultaneously poke fun at those in the advertising/branding industry and prove their own creative adeptness. This thing is pretty funny.

    For example: a Brandellabra is "an archaic brand with a multi-pronged strategic approach and tendency to fizzle out over time."
    And Brandom? That's synonymous with "a brand that appears out of nowhere, makes no sense, and becomes quickly irrelevant. See also: New Coke, Sarah Palin"

  • The Typeface Made Me Do It

    August 17th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Are some fonts more believable than others? A recent experiment by documentary filmmaker Errol Morris suggests that readers are more likely to put stock in information written in Baskerville than in Computer Modern, Georgia, Helvetica, Trebuchet, or Comic Sans.
    We all know that typefaces are important, but this study puts fonts to the test. Very interesting.
