My goal for this project was to create a design that carries out a theme relevant to the band’s trip to The World Games in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. My concept focuses on the urban aspect of downtown Kaohsiung, using images of their train system that runs throughout the city, using warm colors to communicate the tone of the music.

Need a job? Craigslist has dozens of new job postings every day. This month’s top picks.

A special place where people can get short-term jobs. Creatives, computer geeks, event specialists, and hard-working laborers are all welcome.

See here’s the thing, my six year old daughter likes to rip the heads off dolls. Her therapist says that I should go ahead and let her do this. Recently we’ve had a major breakthrough and she’s decided she no longer likes to “play” with dolls. Therefore, I’ve ended up with a vast collection of headless dolls that I desperately need to get rid of. Call me at 312984-6174 and come get them!

It’s amazing what kind of shit you can find for free.

It’s not good for much, although it has been a reliable way to stay dry while hunting. Roof vent leaks. In fact the only things that work in there are the heat and the lights. The inside is not so good. Haven’t used it in 5 years. It is 22 feet long and has tandom axels and electric brakes. It might make a decent car or a ATV trailer or flatbed or...? Please come and get it off my property before the junkyard winds up with it. I lost the title a long time ago. Call me at 542749-0122.

Whether you’re looking for a roommate, a one bedroom bachelor pad, or a four bedroom house you can find just about any housing.

Looking for love? Brand new ads from brand new people to get you “in the mood” for love.

The many plights and woes of Craigslisters.

We’ve just come to realize that our barred rock “chicken” is a rooster. He is almost five months old and just starting to crow. Due to our mistake, We are giving him away for free to a good home to anyone who promises not to eat him. Call 423-904-2817

Wish you had said more to the cutie in the checkout line? What about that totally awesome stranger you met under those really weird circumstances? You never know just who could be looking for you.

$80

This is a cheap, old, crappy wheelchair. Its not horribly comfortable to sit in, but would make a good drunk transport. Its so inexpensive, in fact, you can just leave it behind or forget where you left it. Some other good uses for this wheelchair include play hallway bowling, transporting other objects besides your drunken friends, practicing your balance by only using “the big wheels”, pretending you got hit by a car to get sympathy sex, or you can just practice being old. Call today at 312-895-1490 or email at funnyj22@ yahoo.com.

This lovely gal is a full-standing mannequin in excellent condition and could easily sell for $80. Also, I would be willing to trade the following: gift certificates, massage, tattoos, clothes, records, booze (although it would need to be of good quality or in mass amounts), services (volvo repair, printing, photo), or concert tickets and/or theater and movie tickets. Go ahead, make me an offer. I’m into all kinds of weird shit. You can reach me at 902-826-0157.

I have a sealed 17 oz. box of 40 flavor Jelly Belly jelly beans. The box is over a year old so it may be stale. I do feel bad unleashing these beans of no nturitional value onto the general public so it can decay the teeth and digestive system of willing participants. I would never consider giving it to someone I actually know. Convince me that you need these beans and I will relinquish my junk food burden to you. Call at 502-6149258 or e-mail at jellbell@msn.com.

I am moving soon and cannot take my kitty with me. She’s really fuzzy, nice and smells good. She’s not a purebred or anything but I’d like to reiterate that she smells really good, so I’m asking $5,000-- however we can negotiate. She comes with a catnip mousie toy and a free ‘95 Honda Accord LX. The cat likes sleeping in the sun, the Accord gets 28/MPG. If you only want the cat just toss me 25 bones for her. Call me at 513-7650924 or e-mail at tedj43@gmail.com

$25-5,000

I cannot lie to you, this piano has been in our basement since the day we moved in. Kind of creepy actually. I’m afraid to move it because I’m a chickenshit and afraid to move it. However, I know there are some freaks out there who will find this rare, aged delapitated musical instrument fascinating, so I’ m offering it to you free of charge under the agreement that YOU come to pick it up. It’s quite heavy and might break upon lifting. Call me any time at 201496-2501. Its freaking me out.

Free antique chair. This particular one is broken but maybe you could use it for spare wood or parts to make a new chair. You pick up only. Feel free to contact me during the weekday at 471-9873 or you can email me at missjane@netgear.com

$250 Another old fart trying to sell off his priceless collection of LPs to anyone who hasn’t traded in their turntable for an Ipod. Some of the essentials include mostly classic rock and 80’s hair metal.such as CCR, Stills, Crosby and Nash, The Band, KISS, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Cinderella, Warrant, Metallica, White Snake, among many others. Call Dave at 410-272-8169 or e-mail me any time at senorphone@msn.com.

$0.50 I am selling my Precision V5 Liquid Ink Rollerball pen. I bought it at WalMart no less than a month ago and it writes like new! The pen originally came in a 2-pack but the first one went through the washer and ink ruined my clothes, thus I am getting rid of this pen because I consider it bad luck. I really hate to get rid of it, it was such a good pen and voted the #1 rolling ball pen in the U.S., but in the midst of our recession, 50 cents can buy me 3 packs of Ramen. Give me a ring at 914-752-0947.

$50 1930s lathe for sale, salvaged from an East coast adult toy manufacturer. The lathe was used in the production of dildos from the 1930s to 1990s when the manufacturing plant was razed. Can turn plastic and wood blanks from 6 to 18 inches in length, and 2 to 5 inches in diameter. Lathe also includes a reaming tool attachment which was used for hollowing the center core of the dildo. The lathe is in working order and manufactured by Atlas. I also have a 6-inch face plate, which I will sell separtely, in case you need to produce pieces of larger girths. Call Jeff and Jenny at 410-272-5935

$15 or trade I have a dead Raccoon. He’s only been dead a few days. He doesn’t smell since it’s been so cold out.Will sell for $15 or trade for “Six Feet Under - The Complete First Season” on DVD. He has a great tail if you want to make a coon-skin cap. Call me at 716-542-9808 any time.

1.

Local pickup only’ means you come over to my place, not vice versa. Do you remember who posted the ad...? Also, it doesn’t mean “pickup in the parking lot of a shopping center in San Leandro”. This is not a drug deal or a damn hostage exchange dude.

2.

In a like vein, “local pickup only” doesn’t mean I’m going to drive over and give you a ride to my place and then give you and the 50-pound guitar amp you just bought from me a ride back to your place. It means you have to get yourself to my place, get your new squawk toy out of my life forever, and then go away (nothing personal, but you know what I mean). If you don’t havea car, then you’d better borrow cousin Dwayne’s El Camino, there, champ, or I’ll sell the item in question to the extremely hung over person who called five minutes ago. If he shows up, that is.

3.

“Cash only” doesn’t mean “dime bag.” If I wanted you to pay me in weed, I would have written “weed only” in the ad, there, Beavis.

4.

Likewise, “cash only” does not mean a personal check. I don’t take checks from musicians, no way, nohow. Why? Because I’m a musician and I know full well what walking financial disasters we can become at any moment.

When you call for directions to my place, you can rattle off a detailed list of all the errands you’re going to run before you come over if you want to, but dude, I have to tell you that I’m not writing any of this down.

9.

5.

No, you can’t take the ‘79 Les Paul today and come by with the cash tomorrow. Hmm, let’s see... “Double Your IQ or No Money Back”? Okay, sounds like a good deal! No, you can’t take the ‘79 Les Paul today and come back with the rest of the cash tomorrow, either.

When you agree to buy the instrument you also agree to give it a quick once or twice over and make sure its everything your heart dreamed it would be. Go home to test it out. I don’t want some unemployed burnout with nothing better to do with his day hanging out on my couch for four hours playing early Nirvana tracks. Oh, and speaking of sitting on my couch, my cable TV is there solely for MY entertainment, not yours.

10.

What I’ve posted for sale is all that is for sale. Do not come over, then point to my G&L bass and ask, “How much would you sell that baby for?”

11.

Dude, seriously, I don’t want to hear the awesome riff you came up with or the latest song you wrote. Since I’m doing you a favor by selling you the gear to make your next platnium album possible, do me a favor and spare me.

12.

6. 7. 8.

It’s 2009. Give me one good reason WHY YOU DON’T

HAVE A CELL PHONE!

Peppering me with e-mails demanding everything in the ad for half the price I’ve advertised it for might be validating for you, but for me, it’s just annoying. We will not be haggling over a ten-year-old fuzzbox - either buy it or don’t. Oh, and by the way, in case you forgot, I’m not giving you a ride (see above). Since used gear is sold under the tacit assumption of “as is, no warranty,” no, I’m not going to sign a document handwritten by you swearing that the ten-year-old fuzzbox you just bought from me for thirty bucks (see above) won’t blow up, melt, or fall apart in the next two years, you windbag.

And finally...

No, you can’t have something to eat!

For this design, I emulated a Chinese motif by using a red and yellow color palette along with a background textured with Chinese characters and an elegant serif font. The cover image focusses on one of the main charcters, Kwan who has “yin eyes� meaning she can see ghosts. My approach to this design reflects the tone of the novel; mysterious, slightly sinister, reflective, historical, and romantic
