Ross over at 55 Hi’s claims “the quick brown fox is tired of jumping over the same lazy _ dog all the time.” So he decided to take matters into his own hands and rescue our bored little fox by creating this fantastically cute print with a clever little twist on the old pangram.

The integrated campaign of direct mail, out-of-home and social media was important—as was the pre-party sleepover with the snacks, the movies and the Justin Bieber songs. But to keep the audience engaged, you really do need that mini pony…
If you’re a foodie like me, you’re going to love these! I just came across these ridiculously adorable wallpapers by Elsa Lang for your desktop, iphone, and/or ipad.
I’m sporting the “Avacardarp” on my iPhone and it gives me a little giggle anytime I look at it. Thanks Elsa!
Queue Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal and check out this cleaver site by designer Matt Dempsey. This beautifully crafted site acts as a typographic intervention for all those comic sans offenders out there. Ehem, yes, you know who you are…
Paris based graphic designer Vahram Muratyan has created a series of amusing illustrations depicting the cultural differences between Paris and New York.
The blog Paris vs New York, a tally of two cities features a comically designed portrayal of each city as measured in a brilliant tally of cliches, details and contradictions. Of course, my ultimate favorite of the collection so far is the one below – Si magnifique!
