TTL @200:
It’s a good watch/listen.
When Luis Escobar launched Road Dog Podcast in 2020, he felt that starting with Episode #1 was too daunting, so he started with #101
I was recently introduced to this artist, and this track echoes my feelings towards most Influencers
Not a fan of that HAUS typography
As a novice in typography back in Art School, we were taught “people read from left to right, so if your type want to indicate forward motion, lean it
, otherwise, it gives the impression of slowing down, or going backwards”
Now, this school was basically a VoTech, and it produced more than it’s fair share of hacks - of which I am one - and I wouldn’t be surprised if designers like Paula Scher and Barbara Kruger had other thoughts on the subject, but for me, it’s a 4/10
today someone told me a new word - its called main character syndrome. sums up some well.
I spend waaaaay too much time on social media.![]()
i did my best , i got through 4 mins of this but its so rage bait i had to click off. when you travel you see people taking these wild IG photos in like the best place to see the ocean or the cliffs or whatever and just ruining the flow of foot traffic. MCS - a nice one.
youll like this.
i went for a swim at a different pool to my usual a few weeks back. a group of young 20 somethings had some of the lanes next to me. they did their swim session, all good so far, apart from the selfies required to get in.
the best was when the session finished there was just this extended filming session. eg, two of the chicks pushing off the wall on a kick board, kicking to the flags and then a pause and restart and then they kick back in to the wall. all filmed soi assume they cut it up into - look we just did some kicking! but the best was before they started - we will jsut go up and back. as i was getting out i was like oh fair play a nice 100m kick cool off. but no…
the other was a few diving videos etc and 10m sprints..
live and let live but its a pretty strange way to go about living your life thinking of your online life too. didnt have that when i was that age
There was an influencer girl recently caught totally fabricating one of those “counting the miles as I run” videos.
She published her “long run” vid with cuts at every mile saying “Mile One… Mile Two…Mile Three..etc,etc,etc” but someone recognisedher filming it and posted her own video explaining that the influencer was just getting different camera angles for each “mile” as she held up her phone and jogged for about 20 seconds before moving to a new spot for her next “mile”.
Pathetic.
I forgot to add a very important caveat
There are some (rare) cases where it is perfectly acceptable to crank the letters/numbers in the other direction
