Europe is $52 Away!

Vintage KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Pamphlet. Designer Unknown. I like the colors, very 60’s. Reminds me of Alexander Girard’s color schemes. Love the use of Eurostile and the cut out faces. Looks 500 times better in person.

Remo Drum Head Packaging

I just found this great packaging for Remo’s Drum Heads. Inside was a receipt dated 1986. The designer is unknown (anyone?), but the simplicity, shapes and colors are very fun to look at. I’ve seen some recent redos of this packaging and they do not come any close to this. Why did they change their package?

Bike to Work!

bikeways

This past Thursday May 14th was Bike to work Day on San Mateo County. As usual I rode my bike and I was looking forward to seeing more people riding too. Unfortunately the street looked as empty as usual. It is so hard to ride bikes around this town too. People are so close minded and all they want is to get to work regardless of what’s on their way.

I wish this was advertised more on the news, radio stations, etc. Nobody seems to care about the environment around here.

I just thought I post it and let it out. I do have something cooking on my end to help and to contribute on this issue. Hopefully soon.
