Briana and your commentator go way back, when we used to sell cigarettes in a modern-day Mad Men situation. I was the big shot art director who took her under my wing and taught her everything I know about grids and careful typography, and then she turned on me and relearned design from Guided by Voices album covers. In the years since, she’s moved up the corporate advertising ladder and landed in Kiev, and I do whatever I do here at Coudal.
So here you go, Guided by Voices and Times New Vikings fans, it's good stuff, back to literally including everything from every volley but still staying coherent and new. And do you see that lady with the FLAG!? Bree tells us that there's an election once a week in Ukraine (never THE Ukraine, they don't even have articles in their language), and each election involves dozens of parties marching around with flags. That type on the left is Georgian, and I love it. Did you know they had such cool typography in Georgia?
The bird's fading off into the distance, it's got a long trip to Manila.
SOUNDTRACK
If it's Briana, it's gotta be Greg Dulli and the Afghan Whigs. I'ts just gotta.
