Colour Stories

On Friday, Nov. 22, the 4th annual “Colour Stories” design show, put on by design students at Cleveland State University took place at the Middaugh Building from 6-9 p.m. It was in conjunction with the Cleveland State branch of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA).

Posters were made to display what colors mean to each individual artist and were part of a larger campaign. The images on the right with the light bulbs with the brains in them were made as part of a campaign to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s, for example.
According to Gia Paulovich, a Cleveland State design student and one of the event’s hosts, the event was there to showcase the work that the students did throughout the semester.

Bystanders had a chance to review the students’ work and help themselves to snacks.

“We have several different projects out from the beginning of the design curriculum to the end,” Paulovich said.

Some students created toys with gender-neutral packaging.

“Some people created toys, some people made websites, some made packaging web-ads, some created gender-neutral toy packaging, which was super fun,” Paulovich said. “We had to explore, ‘What does gender-neutral mean?’”

For their projects, students had to come up with a company, what it does, name it and completely brand it. The project above, Lauren Reed’s “Early Bird,” was for a coffee company that Reed created.

The Sashi Wars

Who gets credit for the recent (semi) success of the Cleveland Browns?  It's a radio topic more common than, "Whose better, MJ or LeBron?" at least in the Cleveland area.  You're either pro Sashi or anti-Sashi, with nothing in between.  Here, I have compiled a list of all the major events that took place at the time that Sashi held the general manager position of the Browns.  He occupied the position from January 3, 2016, to December 7, 2017. I did not count the hire of head coach Hue Jackson, as that was the choice of Jimmy and Dee Haslam, which is I know, shocking, given their track record. Here are the notable moves Sashi Brown made as Cleveland Browns GM: 2016 FREE AGENCY Notable Additions: Terrelle Pryor:  Technically, the Browns had Pryor in 2015, but he was waived before later being re-signed at the end of the season.  But this class had no major additions, so I had to put something  here.  Sashi was tearing this thing down to the...

The New Sidd Finch

JOSH GORDON There was once a Sports Illustrated article on the called, "The Curious Case of Sidd Finch."  It was written in 1985, about a pitcher that threw 168 miles per hour, but did not want to pursue baseball, deciding instead to play golf. It was also an April Fool's Prank. In fact, it was such a great prank, that the writer of the article got calls from Major League Baseball general managers asking for more information about the made up character. If Sidd Finch instead played football, you could say that he is Josh Gordon.  Josh Gordon is starting to feel like a myth at this point. He posts on Instagram so you know he's a real person. He kind of played in a few games last year, but didn't really actually finish most of the routes he started to run, so I can't really be sure. Plus the Browns sucked ass so nobody really gave a damn anyways. Ever hear of the  I am not convinced Josh Gordon hasn't played his last game as a Cleveland Brown. ...

My Thoughts on the Indians' Off-Season (so far)

The Indians traded Yan Gomes today, and as can be expected, Twitter was completely rationale about the move.  Ok, not so much. But this was a move that was necessary for the Cleveland Indians, even though it does not directly improve the 2019 roster.  Gomes is due a little over $27 million over the next 3 seasons.  It's not a ridiculous sum, but for a team that operates in the mid market, it's steep for a catcher that has largely underachieved for the past 3 seasons. The Indians operated at a $145 million payroll last season, the largest in club history and 14th highest in the big leagues.  That doesn't account for arbitration eligible players, such as Francisco Lindor, who will go from making $500,000 in 2018 to around $10 million in 2019.  Trevor Bauer's salary will jump from just over $6 million to somewhere in the $10 million range.  Corey Kluber will make over $17 million next season, getting a raise due to a kicker in his contract that set in o...
