Annual Report Love

I love designing Annual Reports. There is something about the little booklet style that makes my heart go pitter-patter. I am currently designing one for a very cool hospital in Oregon and I am in the concepting phase. I came across this website annualreports.com and have a found a few gems. Anyway, it probably speaks to my dork factor that I like this site, but there it is, and I am not ashamed. Now, if only I could find a project that could 1) afford and 2) would be appropriate to use Yupo paper on, that would rock. Yupo is a synthetic paper (not made from trees) that is silky smooth, velvety, and super luxuriant feeling. It reminds me of my silk-laminated business cards that I once had a woman rub all over her face (it was a strange moment - I felt like I was intruding on something quite private).

What are labels for anyway?

Emily Post Would Be Proud

Some collegues and I were just discussing various ways to tell off angry customers when they are really mean and, well, wrong. So, I thought I'd share this recent and favorite "telling off" from a website that I love: Airfare Watch Dog

The world has definitely not slowed down in 2007. In fact, it will soon by 2008 and I haven't even started thinking about Christmas crafts. In the spirit of re-invention, look at this humming bird birth (the last photo with the toothpick is the one that got me)

Also, I would like to highly recommend Pandora Radio. My beautiful 80 GB Video iPod is buried in the bottom of my bag unused as I listen to Pandora Radio at work all day everyday. Sign up easy and I dont get any emails, There are no commercials, and I've discovered a lot of great music like Band Of Horses
