I went to Pentagram this morning. What a lovely office / studio / building they have. And so nice that they take the small stuff seriously, like archiving and lunch for everyone.
And like Matt said a while ago, KPI: Having a street sign.
Although...
The tone of the writing doesn't fit the tone of the media.
I found and old copy of Blueprint today. It was from 2003. Six years ago.
It talks about blogging.
Russell has posted an old copy of some magazine (Wired, I think) which spoke of mp3 players and ebooks. It's quaint all this stuff and I guess we'll see more of it as stuff becomes more out of date and looks funnier in retrospect.
Me? I'm still blogging via this shit Typepad app. I hate the app, it particularly troubles me that I can't post links. Links! Links! The corner stone of a weblog!
But there's something nice and immediate about about blogging from my phone.
Anyway.
A new pedestrian crossing was launched to much acclaim in London today. I would insert a link here, but this Typepad doesn't seem to let me, which is pretty crazy for a blogging app.
Anyhow. I love this new crossing. Finally someone, somewhere has designed a piece of public infrastructure around the actual behavior of the human. Rather than a preconceived idea of that behaviour.
In other words, I've walked diagonally across that crossing many times, now you can do it legitimately.
Google "London new crossing" and "desire paths" and you'll be able to finish this post yourself, seeing as this app won't let me
I'm not really sure what this is. I'm aware it's an image of a lady, possibly naked, with her arm behind her head. But I'm not sure if it's a painting. Maybe it's some kind of photo-silver-chemical solution on the wall? Maybe it's graf, which is what people call graffiti nowadays.
Either way, it's very cool.
I'm writing all this from my phone as an experiment. It might look shit.
In case you missed Saturday's PM programme, click here to listen to the short feature they did on Newspaper Club.
I used to think this was the biggest marketing overclaim I'd ever seen.
Until I spotted this.
How about that for a brand truth. "As useful as a 3rd hand".
This food staple was being handed out at Liverpool St. home of London's finance industry. I know there's been a banking crisis, but I'm confident the commuters rushing through that station can afford a loaf of bread.
