"We have ridiculed Hitler in a way that invites young people to create their own style and not to be influenced by their peers."

One thing Nazis were very adapt at besides wreaking havoc and destroying the lives of millions, was the effective use of graphic propaganda to facilitate their reign of terror. Everything within the Nazi framework was subject to a strict design regiment — banners, posters, uniforms, symbols.

They created an effective (and disturbingly pleasing) aesthetic that both defined and enhanced their terrifying plans.

Hitler, was, after all an artist. Or at least he fancied himself so.

Does a vision of a Pink Hitler demonstrate Cambia Style's intent?

Or does it miss the mark because the Nazis were so able with style?

What the hell is wrong with you Microsoft?



First this, and now this? This video is the creative equivalent of pleated khakis.

Lileks puts it best: "If Microsoft had been put in charge of marketing sex, the human race would have ended long ago, because no one would be caught dead doing something that uncool."

Study Nonaology.




Great site that shows the benefits of living better at Lake Nona, one of those 'master planned' communities in Orlando.

Truth is, it could be like THX1138 or something, but at least it looks nice and has a cool map to play with.
