The Most Badass Alphabet Ever

The Most Badass Alphabet Ever
Paul Tassi has put some illustrations up on his site for an alphabet book. As expected there is one page for each letter of the alphabet beginning with “A is for…” Does he follow up with ‘apple’? No. He gets a bit more into it. He follows through each letter of the alphabet with the most bad-ass alliterative combinations he can come up with, complete with illustrations to boot....

Pepsi’s post-rationalization presentation

Pepsi’s post-rationalization presentation
Arnell allegedly presented this package to PepsiCo back in 2008 to pitch their branding trajectory for Pepsi Cola. It’s full of ridiculous infographics and designer hyperbole. One can’t help but think that someone somewhere took it seriously. Most of it makes no sense and doesn’t even look like its trying to. It’s happy to be so convoluted and absurd. A familar sight to anybody who has been...
