Some designers in their creative downtime produced these off-beat advertising images for the new Star Wars weekend at the Disney MGM Studios. Personally I think that these images should have been used as the official advertising for the event as they are better than any traditional advertising which could have been created. I don't think the posters ever saw the light of day until someone decided that the world should share the magic. Thanks to the power of the internets.

What Not To Do

Editing Reality

The Dude...

Is there a Doctor in the House?

By far the coolest Doctor in a medical drama past or present. Anyone cooler in Grey's Anatomy?...nope. Chicago Hope?...nope. St Elsewhere?...nope. Trapper John MD?...he did live in a mobile home in the hospital carpark which is pretty rebellious but...nope. Dougie Howser MD?...he was a fully trained 16 year old doctor, had a best friend called Vinny and was one of the first people in the world to have a blog...but he lived with his Mum and Dad and was always telling us the moral of the story so...nope. House?...rides a motorbike, plays guitar and piano, takes drugs, fucks with patients (for their own good), doesn't bother with that white coat shit and always knows best. Not thinks he knows best, but knows best. If you didn't love him, you'd hate him. Genius is always misunderstood. That's why it's genius.
