Design Breakthrough?

Love your words and graphics and love nothing better than jaw-dropping combinations of the two things? Then it would seem you just struck it lucky by finding this blog post. See the following link for the work of a graphic designer who goes by the name Tariq Sheshani. A man on a very different mission than most, it’s work you just have to see for yourself and design that is hard to put into only a few words: http://www.webdesigncore.com/2009/11/21/weird-and-bizarre-artworks-by-tariq-sheshani/

As you’ll notice immediately upon laying eyes on Tariq’s strangely fascinating hybrid use of English words and complex graphics, his work is as unique as his name. In the pieces, words like laser hair removal are integrated with photographs to create thought-provoking visuals that stand out all too well in our climate of quick-fix Photoshop work and soulless creative direction. If this is any sign of the future of graphic design, then many people would do well to take inspiration and follow.l

And to say Sheshani’s approach is welcome would be an understatement. For too long, graphic designers have relied upon image-trickery and obscure processes to dazzle their audiencess. With Tariq Sheshani’s work comes a clarity that might be more easily associated with traditional art-work where every brush-stroke is visible if you look closely enough. Indeed, Tariq’s work is all about the process. Shunning crowd-pleasing circus-tricks in favour of enlightening concept’s, the art is, in many people’s opinion, the next big thing and definitely something which anyone would welcome becoming a trend in the not-so-distant-future.

Calling All Weirdos

Are you a weirdo? Do you love weird things and the weird life and dream about things which make others peoples faces turn inside-out? Is life just one long weird trip from the sublime to the ridiculous which will never, ever stop or even take a break? (In fact I don’t know anyone who couldn’t answer “yes” to that, and a few people who more than fulfill that criteria…). In that case then think yourself extremely lucky: you’ve arrived at an article which champions all things weird, says no to all things conventional, and knows the difference between a true weirdo and…Hmm, well, just someone who’s a bit strange…Those people who scare weirdos, I mean. You really have to watch out for them!

The web-site I am going to talk about today can be found at the following link, so click it now: http://www.funderberg.com/index.php/website/weirdo-toys-website/

Head straight to it for a big dose of oddness, or just read on and be a lazy weirdo and read what it’s about in the next paragraph.

Basically, it’s about weird toys on this page, although from this page – at the aforementioned link – you can get to loads more pages about all things weird. In fact, there are categories on the right, and I’d be shocked if you couldn’t find exactly what you wanted there. Ever wondered what someone with Hovis Bakery tattooed on their forehead would look like? Or Uswitch cut into the back of your hair? Or perhaps you’ve always fancied having your head removed and having a giraffe head replaced on it? I have no idea if you’ll find either at the web-site, but I do know this: you’ll find weird stuff galore, most of it stuff that really does seem as though someone has much too much time on their hands…

Duck Mania!

Ever wondered what the Queen would have looked like had she been born a royal duck? I have. Many times a night. Or maybe you’ve often pondered what a punk-rock rubber duck would look like, or a space-man duck or duckess? Of course you have, you’d be a bit strange if you hadn’t, wouldn’t you? Well, my friend, it’s your lucky day, because if you click on the following link you will open up a portal to possibly the best duck-based site in the entire universe. There are enough ducks on here that you could look all day at the gallery and only just scratch the surface of what’s on offer! Have a butchers at: http://www.justducks.co.uk/

If you haven’t clicked it yet, click it. I am waiting. We really can’t continue until you’ve been to the site and seen exactly what I’m on about. That’s just the way it is, sorry.

There. That’s better. It’s good, isn’t it? I knew you’d love it.

Yes, Just Ducks is the place to go when it comes to every single kind of rubber duck there is, including a few more that might just surprise you. My personal favourite is the Security guard rubber duck, but I reckon that over time I could end up with less of a top ten and more of a top fifty.

What more is there to say, really?

Well, how about this then: they have an actual F1 RACING CAR RUBBER DUCKY! And their prize-winning ducks have even been featured on This Morning. Yes the TV show!

Fosters tv used to be my favourite thing to look forward to when I was on my way home from work. Now it’s this web-site. Ducks will take over the world!
