Roland Reiner Tiangco

27 Jan

Roland Reiner Tiangco is a graphic designer from NYC who graduated from the New School. The poster concept is amazing, it really gets no better. But I cannot really put words to that that will do more justice then hitting the link and seeing for yourself. Dirt Poster But, whats funny is the degrees of separation, or lack there of. When I lived in New York and worked at ParallelMVMT we were in the midst of working on a campaign for the New School, creating their website and what not. Seems as if we did a spot on job picking our clients, maybe ill even get to a class or two in the future. For now, you just enjoy the fruits.

From his Website:

Name 3 people who made you smile today?

Clipse

Admittedly, I do not usually post music. This is not to say I do not believe my own category heading; I know music is life. I even wish I could just have background music in everything I did everyday, walking down the street, writing, hooping, dates, everything. Its quite possible that I am being selfish or maybe I do not feel like my musical choices are heady enough. Whatever it may be, Clipse makes me brake the mold. I have been a fanatic since Lord Willin’ and Till the Casket Drops was no different. I feel the album and I feel the swagger, the gutter flavor. The sample on this track is bananas, I just hope you like potassium as much as I.

“All apologies,
I bear the cross I wear the blame
We in the same group but I don’t share my brothers pain
Not to confuse,
Our sentiment are all the same
I just don’t feel Nothing I’m Numb by the will to gain”

Europe always comes with the heat. They make their safe sex ads _______. (Mad Libs your fav adjective, from provocative, to sexual, to weird, to {scooby doo noise}) No matter, they are eye catching, I just wanna know if they are trying to say you get all the girls once you strap up. Just a thought.

Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv

This article presents a very interesting alternative to the chaos that we have created in our airports. I, growing up in the tricultural space that I did always appreciate alternative perspectives and feel as if this really makes much more sense. Lets be honest, the average person is not gonna blow you up with their toothpaste or some dreadlock cream (still pissed about through that away, btw). But honestly, read through the thing, the Israelis are killing us top to bottom, from detection to emergency plan. As someone who travels a fair amount, I would love to see some sense put into the whole situation. More Here

“First, it’s fast – there’s almost no line. That’s because they’re not looking for liquids, they’re not looking at your shoes. They’re not looking for everything they look for in North America. They just look at you,” said Rafi Sela, the president of AR Challenges, a global transportation security consultancy. “Even today with the heightened security in North America, they will check your items to death. But they will never look at you, at how you behave. They will never look into your eyes … and that’s how you figure out the bad guys from the good guys.”
