Hilarious "Feed back" Posters

You HAVE GOT to take a look at these posters.

All of them are based on the ridiculous feedback these designers have received from clients over the years.

Seriously funny, and I'll bet almost everyone can relate to some of these. My personal favorites are "Make the logo bigger" and "The copy seems to be in Latin, but could be French or Italian".

Local Bingo

Here are some local bingo spots, in case anyone is interested! 

It's amazing how many people LOVE bingo. 

BINGO WORLD

bingoworld.com

4901 Belle Grove Road, Baltimore, MD

"The best hall I been to around here. Nice staff. You only have to spend what you want. Can be a cheap night of fun but I've also seen some people spend some money. Also saw a somebody win 10 grand on a game so they give away some serious money to.”

PATAPSCO BINGO 

patapsco-bingo.com 

3321 Annapolis Road, Baltimore, MD

Patapsco Plaza Shopping Center

FULLERTON MANOR BINGO

7560 Belair Road, Baltimore, MD

"The Bingo Hall is nice and the food is good but they need to bring back smoking."

Bingo "Dabbers"

Did you know there are special markers for your Bingo cards?
These crazy, fat markers are designed in special ergonomic shapes so they are comfortable to hold. The top of the marker is a wide circle to fully encompass the number that was called in one "Dab". You can also purchase ink re-fills for your Dabbers. They are very affordable, only 75 cents to a few dollars a piece depending on the brand.

Project 7

BINGO:

(A second variation of this might be write a spot light on Maryland Bingo. Some friends of mine have joked about visiting Bingo World. I could get some quotes and pictures and mix in some of the content ideas from below. This could be a fun feature in any local magazine.)

A history of the game: The origins are pretty interesting. It descended from the Italian National Lottery, there was a variation in Jacksonville, Georgia called Beano and then immediately following in New York Bingo was born. This section could also include a general synopsis of the rules.

Social aspects: Who plays and why? talisman (TROLLS!). How often do they go? How much money do you stand to win?

Glossary of Terms: Breaking the bubble, Jumping the Gun, Crying Numbers...

Free iPhone interface elements

This is a very well produced, layered photoshop file FILLED with just about any iPhone interface element you could possibly need. I highly recommend!

CAUTION: This story contains four-letter words

I don't have children, but this book CRACKS me up. My friend Ricky had his first child not too long ago and said it described exactly how he felt some nights. Here's a link to Samuel L. Jackson reading it for Audible. He talks for a few minutes about why he wanted to record the book... what he says is a bit strange- but if you can get through that, I'd be very surprised if you didn't chuckle throughout the recording!

User Interface Design

Here's another great article from smashing magazine. This one is filled with things to consider when designing a mobile ap! Best practices, conventions and technical limitations. All good things to know for Project 6.

Interesting article

In case you've never heard of it, smashing magazine is an excellent resource for the latest and greatest in web development. This article in particular gives a lot of helpful tips for designing and developing an iphone application. It goes much farther into depth than we need to for this class, but I thought the information on exporting graphics was pretty useful.

Good luck!
