As we rapidly approach the season of merriment, so too we will start seeing the annual public service advertisement campaigns demonstrating in increasingly graphic ways all the bad stuff that can happen when we drink and drive.
When flicking through my feeds earlier today I happened across this clever little poster campaign by Russian Bear Vodka.

As a social responsibility initiative, Russian Bear Vodka “propoganda” posters were placed on walls facing mirrors in the bathrooms of pubs and clubs. At first glance, the posters seemed to be in Russian. But when patrons looked into the mirror, the Cyrillic letters were reversed to read in plain English “Real Men Don’t Drink and Drive”.

Very clever! I spotted this Russian Bear Vodka campaign over at adgoodness – a site well worth bookmarking for your regular dosage of clever advertising campaigns.
Wow, that’s quite impressive. I guess that this poster would have a real impact upon an ‘onlooker’ viewing it and realising its design-dimension (as it were) upon first sight. It’s also fair to assume that this kind of advertising will have a lasting impact on people.
On the downside, I would bet that some unscroupulous copycat alcohol company will mimic this kind of design to advertise alco-pops to teens.
Last week I asked the question on Twitter, “What HTML element do you use for each line of a form? P, DIV, or something else?” So, how do you do your forms?
This years season of 24 ways article has come to a close and with it a reoccurring theme of controversy has arisen: designing in the browser. I offer my thoughts on why it misses the point.
The problem with CSS pre-processing frameworks is that they don’t really fit within the average web designers’ work flow. So I built an extension to LESS for creating cached stylesheets your PHP projects can use.
Are you a web designer or are you a web developer? Let me guess, you are a bit of both. Does that mean you are “doing it wrong”?
