Deceptive TypographyAs designers, many of us look at packaging with a trained and criticizing eye. We'll often focus on the problems we see with the front of the package as well as the construction of it, talking about the poor design or ridiculous colors, not to mention how overpackaged it is or how dumb the wording is.
But rarely do we flip the package over and scrutinize the backside. Namely, the ingredients label.

Most people don't realize this, but ingredients labeling is intentionally designed to make it difficult for you to read what's inside the food you're eating. We tend to not think about this stuff, but sadly it's true.

what

Work. Work. Work. Seems that is my main focus nowadays. Guess that's what I get for being the boss.
I have a lot of ideas for this little outlet of mine, but little time for execution anymore. Did post a couple of items lately, to decidedly little fanfare.
Juggling as much as I can as of late, but motivation needs a swift kick in the pants. Working on that.
Need to spend more time creating content instead of consuming it, but I feel like if I step back from the social networking I'm somehow neglecting things. Sad really.

other

It'd be great to hear some feedback on what I've posted so far this year. Seems like this part of DA has dropped off in recent times. I guess it is what it is.

I have a wacky sense of humor and not everyone gets me. Far as I am concerned, it's their loss.
