Dutch Graphic Design from Around 1900
BibliOdyssey has posted some great examples of Dutch Advertising from around 1900. My first exposure to Dutch design was at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. I’m attracted to the simplicity and clean lines.
This particular example is especially interesting, since I worked for Holland-America in Alaska during my summer between high school and college.
Be sure to check out the other samples.
Old Time Christmas Radio
If you’re a fan of old time radio, or just wanna get in the mood for Christmas, then check out this selection of free public domain MP3s of radio shows over at OldRadioFun.com. From the classic 1947 “It’s a Wonderful Life” to the more curious “Batman Christmas”, it’ll get you in that nostalgic Christmas spirit.
In another life I worked many graveyard shifts while managing Circle K and used to enjoy early morning broadcasts of “The Shadow” and “The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show”.
There’s an even larger collection available at archive.org. Thanks, Boing Boing
It’s Christmas, Why Not?
I’m getting a little bored with my old K2 based theme. I just upgraded to WordPress 2.blah blah blah and decided to take the opportunity to try out a canned theme. It’s kinda fun, so I think I’ll keep it until after the Holidays.
And then no more excuses… i have to design/implement that idea that’s been floating around in my head for 6 mos or so. Now, to find green grass this time of year…
