Well, not gonna lie, I laughed out loud a few times while reading this. Brilliant man.
Enjoy! Making Things by Matthew Inman.
I’ve only included a few samples, but the entire article is worth reading (if you want to call it an article).
This has sooo happened to me before. Beautiful detailed unfinished illustrations.
Check it out! My first ever digital-only illustration! My boss said to me yesterday, “Bet you never thought you’d be drawing little Android guys in hats and scarves.” Yeah you are right, but it was still fun! Thank you Wacom Intuos 5 and Photoshop CS6 and RISD for giving me the tools to draw really cute Android and Apple snowmen. Happy Holidays guys! This is the Facebook Cover Photo for Lookout during the holiday season.
I saw part of this project on exhibit on Governor’s Island in New York this past July. One of the things I find so intriguing (apart from his always-wearing-the-same-face-ness) is the way he was able to use something both personal and mundane as a means of organizing information in a relatable and interesting way. My friend had the comment, “I wonder why he didn’t include the peaking chest hair in the v-neck as a part of the color palette.” Personally, I’m pretty okay with the fact that he didn’t. He describes the project in his introduction:
My name is Christopher Doyle. These are my Identity Guidelines.
As is the case with all identities, care must be taken with my
appearance and tone to ensure my core values and visual integrity
are maintained.
This is a guide to how I should look, feel and sound as a person;
a guide that should serve as an aid for myself and for those around
me in ensuring my identity remains clear, consistent and correct.
It should be noted that these guidelines are intended as just that,
a guide. While all elements of my identity system have been
designed to ensure consistency, allowances for variation have also
been made. If followed, these guidelines will help my identity to
evolve and feel fresh at every touchpoint.

Sharp Suits has created a series of posters using the hilarious and obnoxious phrases that designers often hear from their un-design-educated-clients. I know I’ve heard some of these before.
