The Vancouver Graphic & Communication Design Meetup

Today I volunteered for the retirement party (for crappy design-summer BBQ) It was held at Trout Lake, I got to meet a lot of people and mingle and chat and ask them what they do (career wise) and of course extracurricular activities/interests. It was a lot of fun! The theme of today's meet was to bring and share with everyone something you've created that is 'less than great, something you've found and kept as an example of what never to do, something that is terrible and should just case to exist.' And at the end we burned it into a BBQ pit. It was quite the ritual. There was examples of bad typography ie. comic sans being used, stretched type, bad cropping jobs, bad color choices etc. I enjoyed my time there and I can't wait till the next meet about typography treatment in tatoos. That should definitely be something interesting to learn and talk about.
