Bloody vultures.

James, you should add that your message is now the standard greeting for first time posters on Typophile. You know, so people don’t get confused.

No, it’s just my standard greeting for pople trying to con designers into working for free in hopes of “winning” a pittance and no royalites.

Damien, thanks for posting in respectful way. This does seem to be the correct area for it so I will not move it.

I will note that it would be better if you registered under a real and full name. It would show that you are willing to be accountable for the use of your Typophile account.

In response to James, this is the kind of post that seems very close to spam but isn’t going to get called that here simply because it has a plausible design/font relationship. I am not going to say “bloody vultures” but I will admit that this doesn’t seem like the kind of offer I would encourage someone to try.

Eben, feel free to nuke the image. In retrospect “bloody vultures” was ample.

“Bloody vultures” is pithy and communicates effectively. Image deletion started...

Speaking of graphics adding value to cloth products, Threadless gets it right.
They put a link to a retail site for the font used in their “Type Tees”.

I wipe my arse with $300. I regret it afterwards but…

In fact, let me continue for a minute. I went to Camberwell art college in 2004, with depleted resources, lack of space, and double the numbers there should have been, tuition fees, top-up fees, major sacking of all first year tutors (too rock and roll) to be replaced by idiots, student bar closing at 8 on a Friday, only to leave college and work on my first pitch for the “Ethical Tea partnership”. This was ’brokered’ by some wank **** PR agency that made us pitch for free for 3 rounds, during which they revealed to us the ideas of other designers, suggesting directions. We got to the final 3 and didn’t make it, stating in the email that if we wanted further info they’d give it. We asked and they couldn’t be bothered. Total money made: none.

At the end of my degree I was sent a questionnaire by University of the Arts London, asking me what I was doing now. The letter attempted to persuade me by offering me the chance to enter a draw and win £100 worth of Topman vouchers; I threw that in the bin, and I humbly suggest sir, that you do likewise with your offer.

“tote bag crowdsourced site”

That’s a sign of the end of the internet, I believe.

“This does seem to be the correct area for it so I will not move it. “

I think the correct forum would be the SPAM forum.

Seriously, I think it’s a mistake to allow anonymous posters. Indeed, anonymous email is called ’spam’, and everybody knows what to expect. Why should anonymous posting to a forum result in something better? I am sure even Voltaire would be apalled at the concept of “anonymous free speech”. Over and out.
