I have a feeling I often displayed this expression as a child. (I wish I could warn this child that the frown between her brows will not go away at 40. Nope, botox will not help. Already checked, unfortunately.)

Check out other great work by Lianbing Li, Kashya Hildebrand Gallery, New York.

This almost qualifies as an art project for Burning Man. Jordi Canudas’s installation challenges human interaction via wall and sitting area. Individuals can sit on either side, creating wall movement with body movement. Very interesting concept. I like.

It amazes me that you can still find really, really unattractive websites. Most applications in the market provide off-the-shelf design, which means you can’t make your site ugly, even if you try.

In reviewing this site again, I realized it’s not the lay-out that’s completely bad (but let’s be clear, it’s not great either). It’s the content creative that’s horrible - the images, color and fonts are all wrong.  Simply all wrong.

These poor guys who designed the Olympic logo. In addition to the ugly criticism, their website’s animated video some how triggered seizures. I’m not kidding. Eight people went to the hospital after having epileptic fits while watching the “water movement animation.”  It was promptly yanked after health officials made contact.

They want you to know “it was NOT the logo itself, but the animated video on their website.” 

I also stand corrected on the $800,000 cost for this branding project. It was only $400,000.

The 2012 London Olympics Game logo was unveiled on Monday to much controversy, or shall we say, criticism. Rumour has it they spent $800,000? I can’t believe that is true, though they do act a bit suspicious with their hush-hush ways. “What a waste of money” is what you pretty hear now-a-days in London.

My opinion? Oh la. It’s pretty unattractive. What IS it? People dancing? Rooftops? We’re all different but we are one community? (Good translation there, heh?)
