The Italic Poster – Eivind S. Molvaer

“I was describing the poster to my parents the other day: ‘It’s like, you know how text sometimes is in italic, right? I’ve made the actual paper italicized as well, so it’s like a new format for posters. Dad: So.. what’s the big deal? Me: Frankly, I don’t know.”

Walking CEC letters

Some websites I found that offer custom made costumes.

I already submitted inquiries to these websites below asking if they can make costumes out of the letters “C” and “E” and provide a quote. I tried calling, but they are not PST so…they were off hours.

Okay, I think those are enough options for now? If it ends up being too expensive, we can utilize our AWESOME CEC crafting skills!…Jenny suggested that we can make them!

Jenny Jenny! I will forward you the emails when I receive them, and you can take the baton from there. :]

Ciao!

WHY IS CEC SO AWESOMEE?

1. CEC is awesome because it is OMNIPRESENT. yes, omnipresent. it is where you are: on campus – in Kerckhoff 319, online – on this blog, facebook, and it’s ucla webpage, and on the mean streets of Westwood, westsideee

2. CEC is awesome because it comes up with graphically orgasmic posters that do not require the use of photoshopped floating heads with bubbled conversations.

3. CEC is awesome because it is a palindrome. We do it backwards and forwards.

4. CEC is awesome because of it’s dear leader: EYE-BEAR-TEE

5. CEC is awesome because _______ . You know why…

where did all the ideas go? i wonder…

1.) “How Google Got Its Colorful Logo” (link)

Google’s logo… how it went from this: to this

“We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of having the pattern go in order, we put a secondary color on the L, which brought back the idea that Google doesn’t follow the rules.”

.: The moral – Don’t follow the rules!

2.) “Make Music with Steel Balls”

.: The moral – make music with steel balls

3.) One-Percent Products.com (link)

fruit bowl!

.: The moral – Think outside the box… sphere… bowl… fruit bowl.

and more under the jump…
