RAINBOWS ARE SO GAY

WHY ARE RAINBOWS GAY?
They're nice, and beautiful, and full of vibrant color? Oh. That's why.

ANYWAY
Do you remember the Silver Book/Space Book from last year? Well because they hated the concept, I'm redoing it. But instead of 'Discovery' being the theme it's now 'An Alternate Angle'. Wow. Sheer genius. Anyway it's based around geometry and breaking from the norm, and all that stuff. The insides will have this color wheel broken apart, each segment representing a person blah blah blah. It looks nice anyway. And the reason there is a big white gap is because the book will actually be cut on a 12.5 degree angle. And the insides will have rotated text to match. Unconventional? Odd? TOTALLY!

IESSO

PS. If you have any suggestions, comments or gentle criticsm, please let me know. I'm totally brain-dead and uninspired lately, so I might need a gentle prod in the right direction.

PLEASE NOTE: Again, this is a work in progress. All designs belong to me. Intellectual theft WILL be dealt with. Any theft of logo's, slogans and other branding belonging to Griffith University will be dealt with by them. And they're a bunch of bastards. I heard one guy was put into the cement during construction of the foundation of the new dental school. Because he drew a book that just resembled the Griffith logo. So watch out!

Rainbows are so not gay - sure they're a recognised symbol of being gay, but they, themselves, are not gay! This design is very *pretty* and it works well throughout the book.

Anyways going off track again [ps: i do it alot]...How is it possible that 'Unknown's LimeWire Tunes' is appearing in my Itunes [with the're crappy music and all] - have i been hacked into? And if so, Goddamnit!

Sars, no you probably haven't been hacked into. What I think happened is this: All mp3's have something called an ID3 tag, which allows you to put in the name of the artist, album, date etc, and that information is carried around on the actual file. When you download music off the internet (naughty naughty) that file could have 'Unknown's LimeWire Tunes' in the artist name or whatever. Again, don't worry, it's probably not a hack.

In future if you have any questions you can totally email me directly:
mondayne AT gmail DOT com ... or if thats too confusing my email address is at the top of the main page.

I don't mind you using this as a chat-room, but if it's stuff like this that you want an answer to, emailing me directly will gaurantee a reply. And a more private one at that. See ya!

And thanks for the thumbs up on the pretty, gay, rainbow book of love!

Duly noted. Thanks for reminding me that there exists such a thing called email. Ahhh, emails are great!

Linus: A valid and terrifying concern. Any sugesstions? Run the bars down instead of across perhaps? Hmmm.... BCC=SuCCk
