Pointless emails, lack of interest in learning coworker’s names, frustrations with interruptions and the perpetual wish of escaping the cubicle are topics portrayed in mylifeinacube.com site by Shane Johnson.
I can easily identify with the main character of this beautifully, yet minimalist, website. Most of Shane’s daily reflections have somehow happened, in one way or another, to us; the cubicle people.
Design
This blog has a very simple look. It has a minimalist and clear look; is free of cluttered advertising, not flashing graphics, it doesn’t have interactive ads, or pop ups. It is obvious that the center and main reason for this blog is the main character, Shane.
Focus
I like the idea of connecting right away with the character and not been distracted by other blog’s design features. Shane seems to know that cubicle people want to get in, laugh, and get out. We already enough cluttered in our cubicles and computer desktops.
Content
Shane uses different office media as canvas of this cubicle art. Media such as;
Readers
Shane already has several followers that read his great cartoons everyday. Because they identify so easily with its main character, their comments and reactions are very funny as well. That is the genius of this blog, one drawing and a sentence and you are hooked and motivated to make a comment, to interact and fall in love with Shane, a cubicle drone … like you.
Where can you buy this cubicle art from?
In the website’s QA section, Shane answers to a fan; “prints are now available for $25 in the US and Canada. Original art may also be purchased.”
