Airlines and graphic designers sometimes mix, not always

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Kulula is a South African airline who wanted their airline’s livery to stand out, so they combined the Dummy’s Guide to Aviation with bright green – voila! Not only does the new look provide passengers with a checklist to ensure nothing important has fallen off the aircraft, but even the location of the black box is identified, saving time and resources in the case of a major air disaster:

Turkish Airlines could learn a thing or two from Kuwala’s eye-catching makeover, who also let graphic designers loose on their fleet. Instead of fancy new livery or a nice logo, however, they inadvertently created a new type of aircraft:

Designer quits, sticks it to The Man via Photoshop

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

After working all the hours baby Jesus sent, this designer learnt there was no permanent job at the end of his temporary contract, despite been told otherwise when he started. So he did what any disgruntled employee does – he dreamt up a way to deliver two fingers to his employer. For the entertainment of the rest of the world, he had the stones to go through with it, too:

The message was left on his screen for his co-workers to discover, and was promptly posted it online by them: “He was a good worker… I’d have recommended him. Too bad he burned his bridges.” You think?

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Here we go again with our daily dose of unbeatable bargainness – brought to you with the help of the keen-eyed saving monkeys at HotUKDeals

lidl logo 300x297 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Monday 9th FebruaryPreviously uncool and unloved (you simply CAN’T catch syphilis in them – it’s impossible), supermarkets like Aldi, Netto and Lidl are now the first destination for those of us who like saving money and enjoy the taste of weird Italian cakey bread stuff that it’s just impossible to get anywhwere else.

So get a faceful of this – the 99p Meal Deal. Oh yes children – a sandwich, a bottle of water and a bag of crisps for the grand total of less than a pound. See here to find out which of the big three are doing it (clue right) along with the crippling restrictions they’ve applied.

317588 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Monday 9th FebruaryAt a similar price point is four cans of Hollandia lager; available for just 90p in the hallowed aisles of Asda at the moment. That’s 22.5p per can – and they wonder why hundreds of pubs are closing down every week.

Its booze level checks in at just 3% so you could probably drink it all day long while holding down a job as a driver or operator of heavy machinery. It’s far too weak for us here at Bitterwallet. We’re 9% Special Brew men – we drink it in the park with the hairy fellas who give us ideas of news stories for the site.

323351 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Monday 9th FebruaryEver fancied becoming a manipulator of images? You know the sort of thing – get on the PC before sticking a pic of your wife’s head (minus fifteen years) on to the body of Angelina Jolie before retiring to the shed to do some ‘pottering.’

Now you can, and for a reasonable price too. Photoshop CS3, the professionals’ choice is here for just £175 – a saving of more than £200 on the RRP. See if you can make startling imagery like this picture featuring a seven-fingered child.

tattoosleeve 300x298 Fake tattoo sleeve increases cool factor and arm sizeIt could be that anyone who thinks a fake tattoo sleeve is cool deserves to have their arm explode three times its normal size but it seems a cruel trick to play.
