Dinosaur Thoughts

I am Liz, a college student going through all the excitement which that entails. These are all of the things that I stumbled upon and found to be neato. A selection of random thoughts and a large quantity of nerdiness.

Eureka Tower Car Park Signage, Melbourne, Australia

At first glance this wouldn’t seem to be the most glamorous design brief, “Design signage for a concrete car park”, and at first glance these ‘signs’ might not look that unusual but emerystudio and Axel Peemöller collaborated to make this fantastic wayfinding system.

This award winning piece of work was inspired by the work of Swiss artist Felice Varini who specialises in one-point-perspective installation paintings. The colourful, bold type ensures that the signs stand-out just at the moment a driver approaches from the right angle, meaning they are also context sensitive.

Weekend

City and Colour | Little Hell

What if I can’t be all that you need me to be?
We’ve got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep.
But my diction, it can be such a detriment.
Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent.

What if everything’s just the way that it will be?
Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief?
My warship’s a-lying off the coast of your delicate heart, 
And my aim is steady and true as it’s been right from the start.

There’s a degree of difficulty in dealing with me.
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories.
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall
Stare into the past, and forget it all… 

So when we leave it’ll be a quick midnight escape.
We’ll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday.
I’ll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well.
Then, we’ll throw our coins down hoping to rid us of this little hell.
