While poking around looking for a magazine design style guide, here’s one from The Economist. Titles The overriding principle is to treat people with respect. That usually means giving them the title they themselves adopt. But some titles are ugly (Ms), some misleading (all Italian graduates are Dr), and some tiresomely long (Mr Dr Dr… Continue reading On being too familiar at first, but not after

Jun07PR005.jpg Originally uploaded by mirvettium Two weeks ago, I met up with some friends and randomly chose Balmain as the meeting point. “I feel like Italian” one said. “Just google whatever” the other one said.

Mr Tang wrote about it, others have poked me to join and facebook is an odd, odd phenomena indeedy. In any case I caved in and if you look for my real name, chances are you’ll find me.

Personal favourite is still the very cute wait-and-you-miss it, glasses, and purple vest wearing Yahoo dude blowing love bubbles.… Continue reading V day

After one too many times of being screwed around by CBA and having to pay for the privilege of doing so, I made the move to ANZ. Oddly enough, I did so with a twinge guilt. Cosy images of opening my first Dollarmite account seemed to be the main reason for the guilt. That and… Continue reading Should all be roses
