In this week’s Fast Five, we learn a new French term for the art of illusion, take a peek at some amazing creative workspaces, encourage you strongly to take lunch breaks, rejoice in freedom loving toddlers being caught on night vision cam escaping from their cots, and we see what the creators of Comic Sans have to say for themselves. Go forth and learn, good pals of the internet!
PERSONALITY FILLED OFFICES THAT ARE ANYTHING BUT DRAB
Whether you work from home, or you’re just looking for some inspiration to spruce up your office, it’s worth casting your eyes on Architectural Digest’s selection of “personality filled” work spaces… after which you’ll no doubt be shopping around for a giant paper mache rabbit dressed in human clothing to really give your office a decorative boost.
30 MIND-BENDING TROMPE L'OEIL ILLUSIONS
Ever heard of ‘trompe l’oeil’? It's a French term that, simply put, means the art of illusion. CreativeBloq have put together 30 incredible examples of artists indulging in a little trompe l'oeil (it's super fun to keep repeating this term pretentiously so we strongly encourage you join us) - you should pretty much prepare now to start screaming at your screen BUT WAIT, WHAT, HOW DID THEY, WHAT THE WHAT??? over and over.
WHY YOU NEED TO START TAKING PROPER LUNCH BREAKS
Are you one of those types who eats lunch at your work desk as you attempt to power on through the day? Convinced yourself you don’t need a whole hour away from work and you’d rather spend time getting things done? Uh oh. You’d better read this.
TWIN TODDLERS ESCAPE FROM THEIR CRIBS TO HAVE OVERNIGHT PARTY
This video of toddler twins Andrew and Ryan escaping from their cots at night and enjoying a super fun evening frolic together while their none-the-wiser parents assume they’re fast asleep absolutely warmed the cockles of our heart.
THE CREATORS OF THE WORLD'S MOST HATED FONT STILL LOVE IT
Someone defending Comic Sans? Makes sense that it's the font’s creator given it’s the kind of typography only a mother could love… well, a mother, and also 12 year old me when I used to write poetry in Microsoft Word using my Dad's Windows 95 powered PC. (I've shared too much. Let's never speak of this again!)
There we go! That's it for yet another edition of Artisan's Fast Five! We dig up lots of interesting and fun things through out the week on our social media channels, so why not connect with Artisan Recruitment on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Lovely.
