Spam Infographics

Whenever I do use a particular site’s embed/share code — which is usually the case with videos — I go through each line carefully to make […]

“Day Jobs” [Fictional Business Cards]

Designer Fernando Reza has created a limited edition print called “Day Jobs” which features 3.5″x2″ business cards for 21 fictional (and geeky) companies. It’s printed on cardstock, so you can choose to cut out each business card to fill your (fictional) rolodex. I especially love the designs for the Dharma Initiative, Umbrella Corporation, Wayne Enterprises, […]
