joes[a]fiend: IN CONVERSATION WITH THE BLIZZARD
http://joesafiend.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-conversation-with-blizzard.html
IN CONVERSATION WITH THE BLIZZARD. Print is dead. Long live print. The more we hear on this debate, the more quality magazines seem to crop up. From Manzine. To Lost in London. There are plenty of reasons to be cheerful. So we were chuffed to hear about The Blizzard. A new football magazine that isn't afraid to publish lengthy articles on obscure games and how Dennis Bergkamp can be compared to New Labour [seriously. It's in issue zero, available here. And is well worth a read.]. Aside from our innate no...

http://joesafiend.blogspot.com/2011/02/google-analytics-for-hip-hop.html
GOOGLE ANALYTICS FOR HIP HOP. The Hip-Hop Word Count (HHWC). Is a searchable ethnographic database built from the lyrics of over 40,000 Hip-Hop songs from 1979 to present day. The database is the heart of an online analysis tool that generates textual and quantified reports on searched phrases, syntax, memes and socio-political ideas. The idea to build the Hip-Hop Word Count came out of having hundreds of heated and passionate discussions about Rap music: Who was the best rapper of all time? FOUND: NEW[I...

OKI SATO OF NENDO TALKS DESIGN. My good friend and Head of Insight at Prote.in. Talked to Oki Sato, founder of legendary Japanese design studio Nendo. Sato has consistently designed objects that are simply beautiful, in a world where we adorn and badge objects to give them status, Sato simplifies and adds meaning.

joes[a]fiend: FOUND: NEW[ISH] MAGAZINE - LOST IN LONDON
http://joesafiend.blogspot.com/2011/02/found-newish-magazine-lost-in-london.html
FOUND: NEW[ISH] MAGAZINE - LOST IN LONDON. Fiend's opinion there are not enough magazines that discuss foraging, walking on riverbeds and local history. In fact, we're not sure that there are any. Therefore, Lost in London. Has gotten us really excited. We found out about the beautifully designed magazine through magCulture's 24-hour long 5 year anniversary celebration. Pick of the articles for us was Helen Babbs. Wanted to make something that showed London in a completely different. The design of the ma...

joes[a]fiend: TRUTH + TRANSPARENCY = TRUST
http://joesafiend.blogspot.com/2010/11/truth-transparency-trust.html
TRUTH TRANSPARENCY = TRUST. On a recent trip to the north of England (to teach a group of third year university students) I spotted this poster showing the exact amount of money that had been raised at the train station for The Poppy Appeal. What struck me was, the person who made the somewhat shoddy poster had a fantastic insight into people:. The poster extends the relationship with The Poppy Appeal. Past the initial interaction/donation. It offers feedback, we all like to know how we're doing. Snap th...

joes[a]fiend: THEORY IN PRACTICE: A COMPLEMENTARY GOOD
http://joesafiend.blogspot.com/2012/03/theory-in-practice-complementary-good.html
THEORY IN PRACTICE: A COMPLEMENTARY GOOD. I’ve always been interested in economic theory, and how it applies to the real world. Sometimes it’s a stretch, sometime it’s a leap of imagination and sometimes it's the easiest thing to spot. I spotted [image above] what might be the most brilliant example of the theory of a ‘Complimentary Good’ at a Walgreens. Wikipedia defines the theory. That all sounds like a lot of mumbo jumbo to me, all they’re saying is:. 28 August 2012 at 18:09. Follow me on Twitter:.

RENT A BILLBOARD FOR $100 A WEEK. The Waffle Shop billboard. Is a re-purposed rooftop billboard structure atop the [you guessed it] Waffle Shop. Building [Pittsburgh]. It replaces the static message of a commercial sign with a changeable monologue. The system uses a set of custom-made letters that float on rails, with only the sky as the background, to create a live [ish] structure that can change on demand. Here’s how it works:. Email them if you are interested at billboard@waffleshop.org. There are ple...
