    Sometimes being a designer can be very enriching: we work on the design of books about science, technology, history, and thus we learn a lot. But the REAL torture is actually having to work on a book about vacation and relaxation places while you’re stuck home on a friday night. The visuals of SPA, and COTTAGES, and and.. can actually have a damaging impact on your mental health. I was this close of jumping from the balcony. This only means one thing: I am going to need a real vacation real soon!

  • It's all relative.

    It’s all relative. Sometimes making the dishes can seem like an annoying task. BUT… Other times its the only escape from a major ordeal.

    As you can see, we got pretty bad news at work today.. Wish us luck (again) with this never-ending eternal project…

    I’m sure all of you who have driven by the Lebanese Highway have noticed the latest political campaign. Well I guess these campaigns have really been targeting – EVERYONE – lately, and by that I mean all levels of IQ, all ages. No brain challenging whatsoever, simple brainwashing-take-you-by-the hand and ‘feed-you-with-a spoon’ messages. I personally felt quite offended to see the exaggerated level of simplicity in the messages of the latest campaign. What do they take us for? If only they invested all those wasted billboards money in teaching the citizens more profitable values – but it’s probably our job to do that.

  • Where are the lebanese parents?

    I can’t stand it anymore to go to public family places and see this “maid” phenomenon. This modern slavery should be abolished. Since when do kids need constant stranger nannying when their parents are perfectly healthy? Unfortunately, the mothers seem to be more interested in their own sex-appeal rather than taking care of their children, and the fathers seem to be more interested in making loads of cash to spend on showing off  their fellow citizens. This aspect of our society saddens me very much.

    Gift Shops!

     

    We are usually advised to be specific. Specific makes special. I”m not really sure if this applies to gift shops. I”ve had a really hard time finding gifts for friends and family.

    If we want to be specific then, “autant le faire nous-même!”

    Being the only graphic designer in the whole wide family is not always an advantage I must say… It is nice to help others from time to time – when “others” KNOW their LIMITS!! 😀

  • Banks!

    Revenge time

     

    I hate going to the bank. First because I have to go pay for my car every month. Second, because  i CANNOT stand the attitude of the tellers, who harass me with questions, knowing that I would really be somewhere else rather than be stuck answering their questions….
