graphic design: January 2009 Archives
John Huet is a photographer based in Boston. He's been traveling to China for the past year and was in Beijing during the spectacular 2008 Olympics. He just recently came back and decided to update his website. Me, along with couple of cool kids from Mullen Boston and in W+K Shanghai were privileged with designing some of his photos. The pictures above are some of the ones I helped out with. You can view the rest of the series at http://www.johnhuet.com
God, so after Saatchi NY's lame 15mil I "heart" NY redesign, here's another example of a big ad agency fucking up a logo. While I really appreciate the simplicity of the type and the blue can, I really do not dig the "smile" logo Arnel designed for Pepsi. Why? some might ask? I think its hard to make a round logo asymmetrical, if there's a shift in balance, there has to be a really good balance. Think AT&T, the Yin Yang, they're all essentially balanced, circle within a circle. This smile thing... well, or the smirk, or the butt crack, what ever it is, its not balanced, therefore its fugly.
