They are describing the harmonic intervals which can be created with the device. The text is quite plain, which is fitting as this is an instructional insert. And while I am not a fan of Comic Sans and adjacent fonts, it is a dyslexia friendly type face!]]> 2022-12-12 19:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418289860 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291182 This is a picture I took of my girlfriend in front of a truck and trailer which were emblazoned with Texas Pride. Texas Pride also happens to be the title of a gay, erotic novel about an actor and a more everyday, 6'2 lumberjack which my friends and I had been reading together for fun. The text itself is artificially worn and elaborate, giving it a sense of antiquity. It definitely reminds me of the old west!]]> 2022-12-12 19:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291182 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291440 This is the box from a pair of Bluetooth, over-ear headphones that I purchased from the POD market as to avoid squandering my dining dollars at the end of the year. JBL is a pretty well respected brand, as far as I know, and this packaging definitely feels high-class. The text is sleek and highly legible.]]> 2022-12-12 19:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291440 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291711 This was a sign from a restaurant in Minnesota. It advertises a bingo game called Booty Chasers. Most of the text is meant to resemble antiquated, heavy type that we associate with documents from the past. It doesn't look very professional, but it is eye-catching and is about as serious as a bingo game should be.]]> 2022-12-12 19:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291711 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291989 This is a poster I found in one of the art buildings that advertises a workshop for artists and musicians. While the visuals are ok and the colors and mostly inoffensive, I'm not sure I agree with the use of brutalist, soviet propaganda inspired type. It doesn't make sense to me, I would've rather seen something a bit more legible from a distance.]]> 2022-12-12 19:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418291989 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418292327 A poster for a Rolling Stones concert in Germany. This seems like more of merchandise poster, one that would be sold at the show and not used for advertising. However, the text is very nice and I'd happily attend a show like this.]]> 2022-12-12 19:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418292327 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418292540 A sticker found on a laptop. It reads EarthQuaker Devices, the name of a guitar pedal brand. The typeface goes well with logo, feeling like a piratey font. It is weird to me though that there is no space between Earth and Quaker.]]> 2022-12-12 19:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418292540 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418292758 The logo of a line of guitars called Stella, produced by Harmony. These guitars are a bit rickety and were popular with blues musicians for their affordability and ability to "bark" out notes. The text is regal, it makes me think of a 1920s speakeasy.]]> 2022-12-12 19:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418292758 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418293072 A warning sign for would be trespassers. The typeface works, but I don't like the color. I assume that they avoided yellow, putting tone over visibility, in order to create a more threatening appearance, which would explain the colors proximity to red. However, it seems to accomplish neither, but it can also be assumed that it may have been faded by the sun.]]> 2022-12-12 19:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418293072 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418293328 Café Bustelo. I absolutely love this logo. The text reminds me of Portugal, though it was started by a Spaniard. I would change nothing about this.]]> 2022-12-12 19:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418293328 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418293594 A no parking sign. The text is bold, the use of white on red and vice versa makes it easy to read.]]> 2022-12-12 19:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418293594 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294003 This is a hypothetical album cover made by a local artist. The smaller text is easier to read in person, but it could stand to be a bit larger or bolder. While the upper text is cool, it feels slightly wonky now that I look at it. Maybe something about the kerning? Still a very nice piece of text.]]> 2022-12-12 19:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294003 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294047 A poster of the album cover from The Velvet Underground & Nico. This text didn't originally appear on the album, nor was it needed. It is needed here since, as a large poster, it has a lot of empty space to be used.]]> 2022-12-12 19:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294047 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294273 A Trader Joe's bag. The text is funky but definitely legible. I wouldn't expect red on brown to work this well. The printed look is appealing and fits the vibe of the store.]]> 2022-12-12 19:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294273 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294528 A TV show fridge magnet. The text works but it's a little plain. Maybe they could've worked a union jack into the letters.]]> 2022-12-12 19:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294528 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294861 A submission advertisement for an art publication. I think the colors are pleasing, but more importantly the text at the top drew me in close enough to read the other text.]]> 2022-12-12 19:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418294861 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418295351 A poster advertising a show hung on a fridge. The text on this is rather lackluster. It feels jumbled together and only makes full sense if you already know the artists that are on the poster.]]> 2022-12-12 19:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418295351 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418295734 A promotional poster for an info session regarding the Jurgen Comics Contest. While the imagery and text lend themselves to the "banned" aesthetic that the contest fosters for itself, you'd think they didn't actually want anyone to find out about this. Maybe that's what's alluring, but it only caught my attention because I was waiting for the info session to be announced.]]> 2022-12-12 19:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418295734 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418295950 A screen displayed at the Altria Theater on the night of an event. The text is professional, formal but was not made with this screen in mind. The blue bleeds in on the frail letters and makes them hard to make out.]]> 2022-12-12 19:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418295950 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418296127 A digital menu from Shafer. The text suggests a refined yet homey, southern experience. I would've made the menu items larger though.]]> 2022-12-12 19:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418296127 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418296887 The stage from a concert I went to. The text on the neon signs suits the 2000s/1980s/1990s web aesthetic aesthetic of the show. The repetition also works well. The words on the screen are hard to make out in the photo but were much clearer in person.]]> 2022-12-12 19:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418296887 raposos1 https://padlet.com/raposos1/ekz0su4vn6qdou6d/wish/2418297232 I'm not sure exactly what this is.
