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.

NICE JOB YOU FUCKING KICKER

HOW ARE WE NOT ON HARD KNOCKS EVERY YEAR: If you don't think the last 18 hours don't represent everything that the Browns choose to be, then I really don't know what to tell you. Is there a more comically inept franchise in the history of sports? Where else do these stories happen?  Linebackers arrested for insider trading, receivers with more talent than God that can't lay off drugs meant for college freshmen, OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLIN OFF!  Hard Knocks needs to have the Browns on speedial the way Leonardo DiCaprio has 19 year old models on his. Josh Gordon is like George Costanza when he tried to get fired from the Yankees, dragging the World Series trophy in the parking lot and spilling spaghetti sauce all over a vintage Babe Ruth jersey.  Over the past few years, I'm convinced Gordon could've walked right into the general manager's office, shit directly onto his desk, and they would've retaliated by... firing the head coach.  "Let...

June 19th, 2016

One afternoon, I was listening to 'The Bull and the Fox,' the sports radio talk show that airs on 92.3 The Fan.  It was June, 2016, and the Cavs had just tied the Warriors with a monstrous Game 6 win to force a Game 7.  The city was buzzing with adrenaline.  It was the first time in 19 years that a Cleveland sports team would play in a game with a championship on the line.  A caller called into the show and passed down a story I will never forget.  He was a middle aged adult male that had lost his father to cancer years ago.  While lying on his death bed, terminally ill, his father passed him down a book with an inscription inside.  It said, "When Cleveland wins a championship, take this book downtown and we'll burn it together."  A few days later, on Sunday, June 19th, 2016, the Cavs would win the championship.  On Father's Day. Something that we will be hearing a lot in coming years, and maybe forever, is how the Cavs managed to win, "J...

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. ...
