Link is broken. They have a nice 404 page, though, which is appreciated.

I should get these for my colleagues who are always asking for “designer input” on their powerpoints and such. The “add more white space” side alone could replace 90% of those conversations.

I liked the Deadline candle in the catalogue except it comes in a jar so you can’t light both ends.

Actually heard an art director tell a colleague that they could do “anything they wanted, as long as it was beautiful”… You’ll never guess how that went!

Link fixed - sorry about that.

For those with poor eyesight, here’s what the cubes say:

Art Director: make it work use Gotham round those corners too vintage add some texture push it further too much whitespace too modern simplify is that is? give it personality more detail less decoration start over make it bigger blah blah blah just get it done approved more color make it modern yet traditional

Art Director II: Approved bump it up 5% not original enough zoom out add more white space is that Helvetica what is this? was that intentional the client will kill us I’ve seen it before give it some personality cortado time can you change everything more! more! wow try something new it’s fine *crickets* too trendy I’ll know it when I see it

And here’s a PDFs to print your own: Pocket Art Director II and Pocket Art Director

To properly roll these dice, you also need a glass table, a credit card, a dollar bill and some coke (during lockdown, it’s also ok if you just crush some of your kids’ Ritalin with a kitchen knife and then snort it)
