ACME New Years Eve
Tuesday, 4 December 2007 @ 14:10
Long time freelance graphic designer, Steven R. “Steve Jerman, has just completed a New Years Eve invitation for ACME Burger Company, a new steak-house style burger place getting great reviews since it’s launch three months ago.
For New Years Eve the restaurant wanted to show off the talents of it’s chef and has put together a 10 course gourmet meal.
Jerman has kept the sparce, industrial utilitarian look of the place and merged it into a European poster design motif. The designer has tried to communicate the special night as not to confuse new and potential customers. Ordinarily the burgers are under $10, but on New Years diners can expect to pay $400 per couple, and get no burgers.

The Email Standards Project
Wednesday, 28 November 2007 @ 20:41Despite my personal views on HTML email, HTML email is here to stay. However HTML email faces a large technical hurdle. Email as a communication medium was never designed to support HTML, rich text or even inline images. Today I discovered The Email Standards Project This organization wants to establish standards, thus ensuring that HTML emails can and will render consistently across major email clients. Hopefully this will catch on and make HTML email a much more pleasant experience for everyone. Just make sure to send “plain-text” to us email purists!
