Art Directors? Who needs ‘em?


Give me a white page and a good idea any old day. Like this one (found on the blog of Juan Carlos Labbé of Chile) from Amnesty International.

First, click on the small image for a larger view. Secondly, I’ll translate Juan Carlos’ commentary into colloquial English, hopefully getting it (mostly) right:

“In 1948, several countries signed the Universal Declaration of Human rights. Their intention was certainly good but, unfortunately, today we can say it wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. This warning from Amnesty International spells it out: in the left column, the countries that signed the agreement; in the right, those that violated it. There’s not much of a difference.”

(Sorry, Juan Carlos, please forgive this poor Gringo’s translation. I did my best. Saludos.)

He’s all grown up. Well, kinda’.


Jason sent in a photo to show us what he’s been up to since leaving the team for Las Vegas. Yeah, I know– if you’re like me you’re asking “Jason who?” and need a little help jogging your memory. Well, I looked it up and it turns out Jason was my former intern junior Senior Art Director. He woke up one day and said, “Self– I’m tired of million-dollar production budgets; I want to design escort service flyers!” And, poof, off he jets to Sin City. I told him he’d be welcomed if ever he wanted to return but, after seeing how quickly he’s dumped J.D. and I for the fairer sex, my thoughts are beginning to turn to “what moves to Vegas stays in Vegas.” (If you want to see what Jason left us for, click on the Playboy logo.) He might be smiling now but, if you ask me, he traded Lions for Bunnies. Good luck, Jason– and keep sending pictures!
