Oh man I HATE IT when people are passive aggressive supreme. So much. So much do I hate such a thing. But I’ll tell you what I like. Green White and Black. As together as they should be, all day and night. Up in this project. It’s a ton of materials, like stickers, sticky-notes, and badges that allow YOU to make the most of your passive aggressive nature in just the most fantastic sticky-designish way possible!

Blame designer Ben Bours.

Look here, fella. This is simple, simple, amazing. Nature fantabulous things, and Gaëtan Massaut, the super artistic photographer, photographs them. And then there they are all leafy and stick-filled and amazing beyond anything we mere human designers could expect to accomplish! Super motivating! Excellent.

Check out Finsta Graphics! Totally excellent stuff and such. Illustrations of fat proportions, mainly. Discover the covers of albums and the backs of tshirts, and don’t miss the fruitillustrations on the walls of the streets, airbrushed to such a weirdness. But first, check above. Look at that thing. Nike and Adidas together at last. In truth a label made by Finsta for a (defunct?) clothing brand by the name of JIV.

Hamburger shop perfection, Val’s Rapid Serv. The best burger shop in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, and any dang other place in the world as far as I say. Inexpensive, fabulously fast, and yes, they’ve got Root Beer. And the best part of this shop? It’s looked exactly the same for the past 50 years!

If you can get all excited about this, thank a design teacher! Or thank your reading teacher. Did they have that? Reading class? I don’t even remember. Anyway I’m finding out that the people who do illustrations for magazines and periodicals using ink, paint, pencil, sculpture, whatever, are amongst the wildest thinkers. Their objects don’t have to work, so they’re free in a way a real-life Industrial Designer never can be. But it’s gotta look good. And this standardized test form looks ace.

Today I found exactly what I never knew I had been searching for all these years. This happens basically every time I attend an estate sale; basically tons and tons of items I never knew existed, and I’ve just got to own some of them. This box of wall fasteners cost me a grand total of 50 cents USD. Check out the sides and the excellent mouth warning on the opening flap!

Welcome to protester paradise (if there is such a thing.) We live in the future, where a country in a situation like Iran can communicate with the entire world on a neu-personal level. The situation is terrible, but the potential for positive change is fantastic. If you’re unaware of the situation in Iran at the moment, see Geotypografika for all the graphically concerned news you’ll need. Then come back here and experience the signs of solidarity. Below you’ll find a collection of photos and graphics from what’s certainly a small portion of this massively handmade, typographically beautiful, green-flavored movement.

An ironic co-incidence. The Banksy molotov bouquet image has existed since before 2003* *that’s when I saw one in real life when I was trodding around Hackney! On the other hand, this man tossing flowers in Iran seems to have just appeared in the last few days ala the 2009 presidential election protests.

How real reality?

A small bite of the currency arrangements of Mark Wagner. A couple of these images have blown up on diggish sites, but not much info on the artist. Here he is. His name is Mark Wagner, and here is his Currency Collage.

Northeast Minneapolis right behind a fence. These two friends are about 10 feet away from one-another, one slightly more daring than the other. See if you can tell which is which!
