Crispin = Spec Work

I'm all for experimental non traditional efforts but when it comes time to giving the work away or asking creatives to
not only work for a prize but do so without compensation that is where the line is drawn. Shame on Crispin...

Handwritten Over-Done?

Yet another brand tapping into the Napoleon Dynamite Handwritten Typography Trend. A good experiential site but I feel like handwritten is becoming the sole foundation for what advertisers/creatives are considering a concept.

Eco-Friendly Hybrid Design

http://www.lexus.com/models/HSh/
Not sure if I like the modern house better than the car design.... there are hints in the design language that offer a nod back to the original IS300 especially when you look at the tail end
of the new 250H, its also very Camry-esque....
