This blog documents the progress (and occasionally not) of my PhD, commenced in late 2004. I'm investigating fashion creation without fabric waste creation through design practice. The views expressed here are my personal opinions, and do not represent those of any organization I may work for or be otherwise involved with.

I feel your pain. The only thing that could make that image a more appropriate visual metaphor is if the signs were written in Elvish, or some other made-up language.
I heard on the science show this arvo that we're all supposedly born with perfect-pitch- we've got it in the first year, and then it degrades if you you don't use it. don't ask me for a reference. i don't care.
on difficult signage... I think that it's actually a pity that all the mistranslated signs are being changed for the olympics in China. They're a little bit of sunshine in a grey, grey world.

ReplyDeleteElvish is related to Esperanto, isn't it? Somehow I suspect learning either would be more useful than doing a PhD.
