We were intrigued today by something we saw in the somewhat daily email from The Lomographic Society, and were compelled to try it out to break the monotony of the projects we have been working on as of late. It is a Treatment Bath of salt and water used on (developed) negatives to give a somewhat unique look to them (link to try at home.) We decided to use a medium format negative shot with a Kiev Camera (Hasselblad knockoff.) Unfortunatly the end result wasn’t exactly what we expected and turned out to be an epic waste of time. (We ended up with just a dirty negative, oh well.) Hopefully you’ll have more luck. Before & after and process shots after the jump.

We just got a sample run in of these coffee mugs we designed inspired by German WWI propaganda posters. We have a few more products coming in the near future that will be featured in a new online boutique.
Clients would be a lot more fun if they didn’t have guidelines and opinions!!! …haha. Gotta love having the opportunity to work with inks though! We got another shot of some of the lettering variations after the break.

Recently we were working on a project in which we were asked to use the font “Licious Script” by Baseline. Now if you know anything about us, you know that we absolutely LOVE working with type and lettering, so we’re up for any project that requires the creative usage of a font. The unfortunate side to this project is that Licious Script is by far one of the worst fonts I have ever seen. Forget about the technical aspects of tracking, kerning, leading, and the like…let’s focus more on the fact that it appears to have been run through Illustrator’s “live trace” function about ten times. How could a font be sold at such poor quality? If you examine the font a little bit more closely, you’re able to see exactly where the problems lie.

Now that they’re no longer cool and we’re way late on it, we decided to buy a box of the Kid Robot “Critter Splitters” and shoot a few pictures of the unboxing. Check out more pictures of the cute little fellers after the jump.

Iron Man came out this weekend and made some of the most money ever in the history of opening weekends. We decided to check out what some of the other top money-making films were in history and were horrifically disgusted by the results. In typical Onetwentysix fashion, we decided to make our own list of the best films ever…according to our taste, that is.
- The ‘Burbs
- Forrest Gump
- The Godfather
- Pulp Fiction
- Back to the Future
- The Shining
- Jaws
- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
- Ghostbusters
- Groundhog Day

In the off hours we hand-painted a few blank skateboard decks. We’ll definitely be doing more of these in the future. More images and process shots after the jump.
