Liquid Planet is a weird name for a lunch place

So I was dining at a relatively new Cleveland yuppy chain called "Liquid Planet", which was quite yummy, when I looked to my right and saw this:

Scary Liquid Planet Wall Decoration

This didn't seem to phase my girlfriend, but I couldn't stop laughing.  This smoothie and wrap lunch establishment seemed to want me to think that eating there can make old people frighteningly bouncy and make your kids do well at gymnastics.  The facial expressions in this photo may be a little hard to see, but I definitely think the blue-hairs on the right seem waaay too happy as they skip down the orange street.  And the 20-something guy in the middle looks completed nonplussed as he is vaulted over by his sister(?) like some sort of human pommel horse.  And all of it was photoshopped over some orange and yellow sunburst which feels like it should be out of a cautionary global warming ad. 

All in all we had a good meal, but I was a little freaked out to say the least by the odd mural-sized advertisement right by our booth.

Liquid Planet Rating:
Atmosphere: B- (only because of the scary old people in the pic)
Food: Yummytown.


On a different note, I am currently trying to export my blogposts from here to move my blog to a new location.  Stay tuned!

Happy New Year from ADR design!

Hey everyone!  With the craziness of the holidays upon me I have found it increasingly difficult to post new things on my blog, but I would like to wish everyone a happy new year.   Happy 2K11!

My plans so far for this year are big.  First, I am working on re-branding myself and ADR design, which will include a new logo design (which I am currently working on), a new blog, a new website, and lots more tie-ins across my various social media platforms, including twitter (my handle is "i_made_dat" if you want to follow me), Facebook, myspace (updating my old personal musician website), and LinkedIn.  Once all that is complete, I am going gung-ho looking for graphic and web design jobs in Cleveland, and I couldn't be more excited about it. 

What are your plans for 2011?
