a year fighting against Comic Sans: The expansion of Buthidae scorpion Connare

This month of June 2008 was a year of the founding of OCACSMS and good that we take time to take stock of what happened.
sincerely thank the nearly 12,500 times you have read our 50 articles, regardless of what specific topic, because as I said a friend once with his usual sarcasm:

"Why Why not do a more specific blog yet?, not mating in captivity ... scorpion Buthidae female desert areas kilimanjaro. Nevertheless

have been dozens of accessions and that gives us cause to continue this project. Thank you all.
struggles and achievements.

OCACSMS always had the philosophy (especially the section A world sans Comic ) draw a smile to all people involved with the design and advertising in these difficult and stressful workdays. However, we have seen that our "walk in the desert for a laugh" has its fruit.

is noteworthy that the pulse battled English travel agencies achieving the withdrawal in one case, and the use of any other criterion, the use of Comic sans ; making comment, always anonymous of course, as

"each place it as you like and my the comic sans and matisse are beautiful ... and stop criticizing for any nonsense because it is what it is because no normal person would set in the font and understood it perfectly OK? "

Editor's note: ... and so it goes.

was also fun chase banking, especially the Basque that, with good design that exists in that area, I have no idea what happens there for their businesses attempt to treat their children customers. Indeed, Caja Laboral (As you said we Aurora ) retired Comic sans the presentation of its cash, but kept it inside his interface. Perreteeeeees !.

Finally highlight atrocities against governmental level, putting his palm logo contest Government of Spain, The childishness of Rafael Correa (President of Ecuador) and barbarity Chilean justice in post Marco, Amedio the Comic sans and Chile.


The Ying and Yang .

Thanks to the publication format, throughout this year n ur blog has grown from a local project to an international phenomenon , because despite its language Castilian is the English-or, as it is called in America, the OCACSMS Blog has been read repeatedly in different countries speaking English or French. They highlight the 102 visitors from Japan, the second English-speaking country (if the United States can qualify for not speaking) in the list of visits and with a language so different to ours.

We produced a map of "regular visitors" that serves as a reference for the expansion of our blog and now we show you. So OCACSMS expands around the world.


reviews have been posted to our blog in Digg and on the cover of World his edition of Valencia and have received dozens of comments of encouragement to not give up our struggle. On the other hand have also been many criticisms, although in some cases it appears to be critical of the way because it hurts the contents as in the criticism of the post concerning the University of Zaragoza:

"... The headline" Imparting mediocrity "is the first sign of mediocre writing that follows ..." anonymous.

Colophon.

very recently we located in Neighbourhood graphic t-shirt Grandburo very curious. It says "Design is honest, advertising lie." In OCACSMS are convinced that only with the design also can lie, or at least give a product the qualities that have or should have, and precisely the Organization abuse the Comic sans underlie this fight as the main reason their training.
I encourage sociologists, psychologists, advertisers ... that rebuts or support us with strong arguments that in this blog comment, as this will cause debate, and we are convinced that the debate is good for the development of any idea or society. The culmination of this anniversary, and very much in the world of advertising and design, could be left with the following quote:

"The way things are is not the way they are, and if things were as is present the whole science would be superfluous. " Karl Marx (1818-1883) German philosopher and economist.

Thank you all for your support, especially How great are the crappy movies and Mr. Rosco for being there since the beginning. We will continue working to achieve, in our field, a more just world.
A hug.

Vincent is the devil. Typography Congress Valencia is dressed in Comic sans

ended last week II International Conference on Typography Valencia (Spain), where on Saturday he attended the conference I Hate Comic Sans The "given by the author of the object of all this dispute: Vincent Connare.

Our sincere congratulations on all attempted a demonstration of mindless demagoguery.

The professional course (and later you will read why I say this) started trying to give a touch of professionalism:

"Comic Sans was not designed as a typeface but as a solution to a specific problem such as a program interface , typography conveyed the message "

continued throwing balls out and blaming the rabble with:

" The typography is like fashion. Everyone uses it. But not well. I've seen mainly Americans with no criteria. The typeface is the same but has a role and that's what makes it so important. Ago a job it is to communicate a message and the font you did not distract from it. But they need to know about typography? " (Excerpt from interview 3CIT)

But then it leaves a number of beads that indicate its lack of accountability:

" I also hate
" When design a source is no longer yours. Especially as I designed it to Microsoft. I was a salaried employee. Have designed a typeface like this do not feel anything special. " (Excerpt from interview of 3CIT)

and acknowledged that it would not work on it.

will agree with all authors graphics , and especially the font due to its long process of analysis that a job is like childbirth: you suffer, you're happy, you enter a state of anxiety ... and do not understand at all that this man can ignore the result of a similar process.

responsible design, viewing and using crowded that gives your font, would be the moral obligation to at least fix the kerning, meaning that if you do not get paid for such purposes, but at least do not say that it would not work on it.

In nature, to the most despicable creature takes over his descendants, we can deduce that, in disregard of its own typeface, Vincent Connare is the devil and Comic sans fruit, because of the chaos it has generated in the earth.

is a pity that having the opportunity it has had in the 3CIT , had not used it for a conference, at least consistent its position, it would be in favor or against.

PD: Only we have to note the work of Rodrigo documentation Terrace of World, being the only journalist talking about the conference Vincent Connare, write a review of our blog in his article. Thanks and regards.

Documentation "Shit" and topics of advertising

is already known by all the sad process of documentation of the film industry, ranging from the logical to the historical. All remember the famous scene El Cid (1961), in which Charlton Heston said this "For Españaaaa!" when this has not yet been formed and were in effect the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, or that which, defying logic, Russell Crowe (representing Maximus in Gladiator ) is wounded in Germany and thousands of miles to the south, horseback riding (then there was no high speed train), is appearing with the band. With this last example would have two solutions: 1 - I always wound in the same place the poor boy. 2 - In Roman times there teleports.

Like these examples, there are other cases, equally unfortunate, that are related to graphic design, advertising and image retouching.

is famous and great skill in photo retouching Warrick Brown (CSI ) than a traffic camera image (of course not in HD) can get you the farthest car registration completely sharp (I hear a ja, ja, ja of all those who have had to make trade fair plotters from a postage stamp to 72 dpi).
Similarly, since the 80's and throughout this time has been instilling in people an idyllic image of all of us involved in advertising. According to the American series, now we should be driving a Porsche 911 , working 3 hours a day and living in a loft of 300 square meters in downtown Madrid or Barcelona.

Now is when I ask: Why are we getting all this stuff?. However, it has been Andrej Nicolás Hillebrand which alerted us to the following:

There is a series that premiered on Fox on March 26 called Dirt (dirt, shit, shit ..) and is the "glamorous world of magazine editing "mixed with yellow press, ie how to manage and publish crap. In his first chapter, it shows something that would never do any of the members of a relatively serious magazine, show presentations and chats with Comic Sans.
We are aware that using Comic sans in chat is widespread, but that, in a graphic designer or someone connected to the worlds of publishing or advertising, is equivalent to firefighter that fire, the pederast priest, or the policeman who extorts or stolen, that there is (and very recent examples prove it), but it is immoral and a tremendous lack of ethics.

After seeing these images we can conclude that just as some employers, and continuing with the "good work" of American film documentation, they decided not to hire someone to channel in the publishing world, because they got expensive, and would go to a distant cousin who knew how to use Excel .

As he said: You keep so you'll see!

mediocrity Imparting

years ago began to implement quality audits in education to get that from EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION. They filled the mouth to pronounce it. Well, years of audits and meetings tasteless, only made the workers themselves are created universidadeds best (without actually doing anything to be).

already said my grandfather, who as the saying goes "The devil knows more old than by the devil", that the university only gives you knowledge of a particular field, but not culture or education, and to display a button will explain the following case:
Charter School of Social Studies, University of Zaragoza (Spain) (send eggs to be social studies). All it entirely in Comic Sans.

can be assumed to be "social studies" has tried to empathize with the masses, but in turn also assumes that the people whom it is addressed has some education and culture.

if you can not call a paradox, irony, ... where the beginning of the letter read (and copy literally):

"The School of Social Studies is striving to impart quality education ..."

may get confused and actually be coming to Spain, the American education model in which super-specialized in something that will never find work, our students, past and present, have their general training on the floor and then needed something to empathize with them to react. If it really is so, OCACSMS addition to complain, we propose the following written on the letter:
The oddest thing about this is that the letter is accompanied by an invitation that is poorly designed (to see if we understand, will never win a design award, but not bad).

We must comment that it is not an isolated event. There are several post on the web where students reported the same facts as this one (as in otrobloggeek.com ), so we can come to the conclusion that there is a thing of the students, but to re-educate the universities.

From OCACSMS encourage, social workers and assistants in general, to report the matter to next sticker carrying the act of June 20.
With all this we just say Administrative , hierarchs and teachers of the university: A STUDY!
