Perhaps you are lacking direction in your design career, perhaps you are searching for a gift for the creative director in your life who has everything, or perhaps you’re an over-zealous finance person who could do without paying that huge creative director salary every month and are looking for a cheaper alternative. Whatever your situation, these stamps from Heather Phillips are for you!

Why not buy the whole set? After dispensing some of this advice amongst your woefully inadequate colleagues, your promotion to CD is sure to be in the post.

Of course kids, don’t forget that creative direction is dangerous and should only be attempted by a skilled and experienced adult. Do not attempt to creatively direct at home or unsupervised.

Brilliant!

These made me smile the other day. In my local newsagent, there are some foreign magazines, which have been imported and so need the English price marked on them. Obviously someone in the shop was armed with a biro and asked to mark up all the magazines so customers could see the price. Where is a good clear area on every magazine cover where the customer will definitely notice the information?

Yes, on the forehead of the person featured on the front cover.

Genius. Another design problem solved through a little original thinking.

If you’re curious about how websites work, you’ve ever selected ‘view source’ to see the guts of the HTML, or you have wondered about the ominous ‘back-end’, then wonder no longer. Back of a webpage reveals the inner workings of your favourite websites and gives new meaning to pressing the browser’s ‘back’ button.

The photographic paper detail on the Flickr one is genius. Send you own submissions to backofawebpage@gmail.com Found via davidthedesigner – Made me smile too…

As it is now after noon, I can reveal this to be an April Fool.

Shame.

You know it’s been a bad week at work when even the equipment is trying to tell you something.

Happy Friday everybody.
