Update: According to a friend of the artist, this is more specifically the work of Oscar Wickman, who studied advertising at the Academy of Art. AAU posted this on its official Tumblr as the School of Advertising.

The Academy of Art’s School of Advertising came up with this nifty chart. It provides many options that aren’t “stare at your phone and then tweet about how late/terrible/non-existent Muni is right now.”

I’d like to try some of these out, especially, “Come up with alternative endings for movies.” One of mine would be: “George Lucas dies at the end of Return of the Jedi, and the prequels are never made.” What are yours?

I’ve heard tell of real snow falling to the ground and staying there, or resting festively on the actual Christmas tree as you bring it home. Perhaps we San Franciscans will experience such phenomena this holiday season.
