Day 173: Chub

Fragment: I wish I was a dog. Then the fatter I got, the cuter I'd be
Font: Avenir
Quoted: Jake Eliasberg

It's so unfair. Everyone except humans gets cuter when they're fatter.

Day 131: Get Glad

Fragment: Whatcha gonna do? Can't get Mad
Font: Times New Roman
Quoted: Allene Yaplee

We drove to an office to pick up some stuff, only to find out they were closed.
There's a new zen movement going around.... As Jake says: Be Zen.

Day 38: Afterthoughts

Fragment: "I got what I wanted but I don't know if that's what I want"
Font: Avenir
Quoted: Jake Eliasberg

In case it's unclear.... he got what he wanted.... but is that what will get him what he REALLY wants?

Day 8: Decisions

Fragment: "It all depends on what you want."

Font: Times New Roman

Quoted: Jake Eliasberg

Jake's the first to get a double quote. 
He would. I probably talk to him too much.
Ironically this quote comes from indecision over which quote to pick. I was thinking between "You're not stupid" (It was a nice to hear, even if I don't ever think I am) and "Say something smart" (A frustrating that I hear some people say when they find out I go to a good school)
His advice was on the feelings each quote would give, and to a certain extent, I knew that, but I needed to hear it out loud before it clicked. I spent the next few hours pondering my feelings on the two, only to realize as I sat down to write, that once again, Jake had magically produced intelligent conversation.
Just kidding. Love you Jake.

Day 3: Advice

Fragment: "Just ask"

Font: Helvetica

Quoted: Jake Eliasberg

I would like to say many words of wisdom come from Jake Eliasberg... though perhaps it would be more accurate to say that many words come out of him, and a some wise ones just happen slip out.

I pulled this quote from a gchat with Jake, about drum sets.

Here's your first quote, Jake. Hope there's many more to come :) Coincidentally, I'm wearing my "Jake Eliasberg Fan Club" t-shirt today.

Design talk: 

-The template had to change! The standard blurb position has been covered by the dot. (Looks awkward in white. I tried it.)

-The question mark is actually not pure Helvetica. The dot has been moved up.

-Posters seem to look better with a little gray on them, thanks to the frame blogger puts around them. I think that's what makes this poster weaker.

-This poster is subconsciously inspired by Michael Beirut posters for the School of Architecture.

-The project as a whole is inspired by Beirut's Workshop, 100 Day Project. (Read up on that here http://observersroom.designobserver.com/oblog/entry.html?entry=24678!)
