Origins
Avocado Green
First appearing in home appliance design during the 1960’s along with colors like Harvest Gold, avocado green is embodies the design mindset design of two decades best forgotten.
I am employed in a position where kowtowing to clients is a fact of every day life. Sometimes they mettle. Owing to my distaste of Avocado Green refrigerators, I concluded that the color was the direct result of client preferences interfering with the expertise of designers.
End of MacBlog
When I first started blogging a year ago, it seemed like a passing fad, a quick way to write some incomplete thoughts for my fledgling of a website, and a not to serious attempt at contributing to the web. The Ian MacBlog seemed to posses just enough kitch: it incorporated my name and played on the term Blog.
Well now a year later I’m trying to be a bit more serious with my blog. Perhaps this is because I am mildly addicted to blogging. In either case, it was time to move beyond our juvenile fascination with ourselves. Thus was birthed Avocado Green. Merchandising coming soon.
