Back in Five Minutes - Typography Showcase

May 1st, 2013 / Comments (0)
We wish we'd been in Sydney in February and March to see this exhibit. "Back in Five Minutes" showcased a celebration design and typography at the Salon91 Gallery. The exhibition featured a stunning array of designers, typographers and illustrators, including Ben Johnston, Clinton Campbell, Clement de Bruin, Justin Southey, & Dani Loureiro. The work they created and displayed is truly inspirational.

Second verse is worth the cringe of the melody & idea at the beginning. This video is kind of like a nightmare realized to your average designer.

April 30th, 2013 / Comments (0)
As computing moves from our desktops to our phones, we look into the future to see how technology will become increasingly ingrained in our movements and our active lives. From the Nike Fuelband to Google Glass, consumers are already seeing hints of the future of wearable devices. They have the possibility to make us more knowledgeable about ourselves and our surroundings, and connect us with each other in an uninterrupted, more intimate way. From DIY wearables to high-tech sensors and smart fabrics, the years ahead will show how integrated technology can impact our lives for the better.

Daily, we scour the capital to bring you the coolest, most creative stuff we can find. But we know there are literally thousands of artists, musicians, boutique agencies and others who fly under our radar - but not under yours.

So who are we missing? Do you know an awesome, unknown local agency we should highlight? Or maybe you're friends with a screen printer who does incredible posters. Hell, even if you did a portfolio-worthy print ad we haven't seen and want to show it off.

You tell us. Click on the Submit tab and let us know. Or you can email us any tips, work or general thoughts of well being to stlouis@theegotist.com
The Best St. Louis Craigslist Ad We've Ever Seen by @WhateverDude

April 30th, 2013 / Comments (2)
This craigslist ad was submitted to us by a few people about a month ago. We appreciated the low-brow humor but were perplexed by how to show the single tallest image we've ever seen.

Little did we know that it actually went full viral with multiple outlets covering the story and AdWeek actually conducting an interview with the (formerly) STL-based copywriter, Nate Walsh.

An excerpt from the interview:
You're funnier than 90 percent of copywriters. Do you work in advertising?

I do work in advertising, as a writer. I'll be using the weird virality of this piece the next time a client tries to disagree with my recommendations. "Did you SEE how many repins I got with my shit?"
Actually, the main reason I have to tear myself away from such a sweet ride is that I'm about to leave St. Louis, where I've been working for the past five years, and move out to San Francisco. Right now I'm mostly going to be doing freelance for startups and working on some of my own dumb projects, but … hmm … what is a classy way to say "SO TELL YA FRIENDS" to any agencies that might be looking for a writer? Help me out here, Emily Post.
As far as that other part, well, obviously most funny people use humor to mask deep-seated neuroses and self-esteem problems, so of course I read that question as, "How could you let 10 percent of ad writers be funnier than you?" Then I cried a bit.
