Viridian Note 00292: Core 77 ParodyBruce Sterling [bruces@well.com]Key concepts: Core 77 design website, Core newsletter, design news, parodies Attention Conservation Notice: Let's face it, I'm hastily plugging someone else's design newsletter, just so I can post all the latest Viridian contest entries. ***********************************************Entries in the Enron Logo Contest: Viridian contest site http://www.bomoco.com/Viridian/viridian.htm http://www.bomoco.com/Viridian/Enron/Enron.htm
THIS CONTEST ENDS VERY SOON: IN TWO DAYS.
************************************************** (((Those loveable guys at Core 77 website were prominently featured in the Viridian Issue of WHOLE EARTH. They are running a new design contest, only they run real ones. If, like many Viridian readers, you adore design contests and you kinda wish we'd shut up about the planet roasting slowly and horribly, then Core is for you. You won't be disappointed. Especially by that "Beer Frames" guy, the guy who critiques sauerkraut juice boxes and stuff. Man, he's tops. (((I don't feel quite right about blatantly re-posting Core's entire newsletter straight to Viridian List, so I'm "improving" it. For instance, I'll be, uh, removing all the parts people skip.))) (((First, we remove the cool web-links off the bottom of their newsletter and put them up at the top, where they belong. Who says so? JAKOB NIELSEN says so! Ha ha ha, just kidding.))) Links:
