design advice.
I have a project due in Advanced Typography next Thursday.
- It is a “Public Service Announcemt”… my theme is “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk”.
- It consists of 4 posters.
- The first is must consist of “text only”… letters and numbers only. NO graphics.
So I have come up with two different ideas, and I need help deciding which direction to go. All comments are appreciated
First Option:
So on this one, I need an idea for the ” = …? ” part. I need a sum.
Second Option:
On this second option, I have my husband’s idea. Boy + Girl + Steering Wheel of a Car = Death (Skull & Cross Bones)
So what strikes your fancy…?

printable perpetual calender description:
“When I couldn’t find a calendar I really liked for my new office, I decided to design my own. I used a perpetual calendar format so that I could just create it once and use it year after year. In my office, I put up the current date and then the next two days, each in their own cork board square. This way, I can add a to-do list for each day which helps me meet my design deadlines for clients.
If you wanted to get extra decorative, you could add grommets, but I like the way it looks on my board resting on the pushpins.”
