I guess what's misleading about them is that they all depict what SHOULDN'T Be done but don't have angry red stripes over them. Regardless, they are hilarious. I love the last one...

Somebody fell down on the job here.<BR/>I've got a copy of an American Institute of Graphic Arts report, on developing symbol signs for the US Dept. of Transportation, that walks through some of the process. Lots of research and attention to detail for something so (seemingly) simple. Pretty interesting stuff (well - from a certain mindset at least).<BR/><BR/>But, yeah, these ones really suck.Tymmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126291357028700136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19586719.post-81454081808504420532007-08-14T10:45:00.000-07:002007-08-14T10:45:00.000-07:00Oops!
