Damien Newton of Streetsblog Los Angeles has caused the cover of an obscure bureaucratic document to go viral in our local cycling community. And with good reason. Some genius at Caltrans designed a cover by tossing clip art and 80s graphics into a Vitamix. Speculation is that the designer might be named Brad (note Brad the turtle chasing a chipmunk in the upper right corner).
Every time I look at it I see something new: psychedelic condors riding bicycles, butterflies transformed by contact with solar panels and what might be a portal to another dimension just to the right of the project i.d. number.
That’s a condor? I thought it was a giant neon squid!
Was their a point to the your making fun of the cover of the report. Did you have some thing to actually say about the contents of the report or is it just your way of saying you dislike caltrans? Which seems obvious from the statement of “Some genius at Caltrans.”
I’m not making fun of Caltrans (I have a friend who works there), just making fun of some very strange graphic design.
