Why Men Shouldn’t Shop for Maternity Clothes (for their wives)

A conversation between me and Jonna Isaac:

Jonna Isaac: http://d.pr/i/cFVk

Me: All I see is maternity stuff now

Me: But Its new territory for me filled with old russian landmines

Me: For example: I suggest a skinny pant, she says “IM TOO FAT FOR THESE” wide leg pant: “EXCUSE ME? WIDE LEG???” Its all too much for me. Above the belly under the belly, WHAT DO I CHOOSE. Nuh uh… I’m staying away from buying maternity clothing for my wife… 

Me: Also because when I see stuff like this: http://d.pr/i/5QYB  I think of this http://d.pr/i/FubG

Jonna: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. 

Me: Precisely the reason I’m staying away from buying maternity clothing, my brain is too jacked for those kinds of purchases.

Jonna: By the way, pregnant ladies everywhere will hate you for making that comparison.

Me: So I shouldn’t post this to my blog?

Technology (and a culmination of 2012 trends) already enhancing 2013. COMBADI (Come Back Different) is a website of “Innovative, holiday & travel ideas that help you learn, grow, and change”. At first glance it seems like an expedia mashup with social aspects of Gilt, and although it might just be a nicely marketed travel site, it carries the tone of change in how we view our vacations. 

Aside from all of that, the site is per-reh-teh. Very interested in seeing how things go for COMBADI this year.

Good visual design having positive impacts on everyday products. Utilizing the “right” typeface can produce a 12% difference in glance time for men. What does that mean exactly? Well, moving at the approximate rates of US highway speeds that would equal about 50ft, which is easily the difference between an accident and a safe arrival. These types of research studies are the exact reason why I am so passionate about design and psychology.

Kelli Anderson’s Newspapers for a Giant Garage Sale at MoMA. What an amazing look (and design) on a topic that is more or less dull as a concept. Kelli’s design and the content strategy/copy (I wonder who wrote this) really makes for a totally interested read!
