Lately I've had more fun rummaging through the archives of noisy decent graphics than just using the latest post, so I decide to stick with that for this week. I found a post about one of the first jobs Ben applied for as a graphic artist. Turns out it was a pornographic magazine. At the interview they made him design a page in an hour. These are some sketches he found of work he did to prepare before the interview:
"I didn't get the job and I was told that my layouts weren't, er, graphic enough (not the graphic you and I mean)," Ben wrote. Too funny!
Fragile!
On davidthedesigner I found this really neat post about a fragile shipping label. I think putting graphics like these on boxes that might travel different countries and be handled by people speaking different languages is much more effective than using words. I think that this image is much more universal and may even have more sway in convincing people to be more careful.
I love the fragile graphic! Maybe mail carriers will actually take things seriously now haha.
