http://www.threethehardway.com The personal portfolio, blog and resume of a Graphic Designer Sun, 02 Nov 2008 14:21:21 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This made my day. http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/11/02/sylvester-stallone-sells-some-soup-and-beer-in-japan/ You should find the one threater in your entire city showing this movie and see it immediately. Check the trailer out here, but trust me when I say the trailer doesn't do the film much justice. I am no expert when it comes to vampire movies, but this was the ... http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/10/31/let-the-right-one-in/ Well it's been a minute since I posted on the ole blog here, I've been busy with my new job at Neilsen IAG as well as freelancing on a couple of other projects and I continue to work with Galison on their email campaigns and some other general stuff since ... http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/10/21/where-have-i-been/ http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/07/14/happy-monday/ I posted a while ago about wanting a Honda Big Ruckus, well I found a community of owners of the regular Ruckus at Totalruckus.com, asked a bunch of questions and learned about what is capable with the thing and decided to go with the small one. I love it, and ... http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/06/26/my-honda-ruckus/ Another funny ad.

The song in the ad, by the way, is by Mint Royale, an electronica duo turned ... http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/06/19/singing-in-the-rain-remix-vw-ad/ Completed a redesign for The Galiwag, the less formal web presense for Galison/Mudpuppy Press, a paper gifts company based in midtown Manhattan. The whole idea was to just make it more fun and less corporate, so I used the Mudpuppy character Galison uses for its children's line as the logo ... http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/06/19/the-galiwag/ It's easy to get used to seeing ads in the context of which laundry detergent, pet food or fast food restaurant you should prefer, but there are often times when advertisements mean much more. They can be used to educate, warn, make light or terrorize us on a particular topic, ... http://www.threethehardway.com/2008/06/19/amnesty-internationals-olympic-games-ads/ Bottle designed by the firm Capsule, it's almost like a perfume bottle with how jewel like it is.
