Cardon Copy takes the vernacular of self-distributed flyers and tear-offs... redesigning them, overpowering their message with a new visual language. [

Brooks Stevens, the man who once said, "there is nothing more aerodynamic than a wiener," created the iconic
Wienermobile , but was also responsible for many other innovations in industrial design. He put the first
window in a clothes dryer,
built a land-yacht and streamlined train, developed an important
precursor to the SUV, and designed the
wide-mouth peanut butter jar and an aerodynamic
vacuum cleaner. More lastingly, he also created the idea of
planned obsolescence, the "desire to own something a little newer, a little better, a little sooner than is necessary."
