Review & Description
Obviously, the best part of a fortune cookie is what's inside. Now you can enjoy fortunes all year long - minus the crumbs and calories! A Year of Fortunes (Without the Cookies) contains 365 witty and wise paper prophecies printed on perforated, authentically sized slips, perfect for tearing, sharing, or posting on your fridge. Bound in shiny red satin, this clever little book delivers destiny on a daily basis. At Knock Knock our sensibility is proudly distinct, in contrast to the overwhelming homogenization of committee-created corporate product. We believe that many people are intelligent enough to appreciate wit, wordplay, and conceptual thinking, so we strive not to dumb down as we create. Our customers comprise the impish, the dapper, the droll, the young-at-heart, those who prefer the humor of the truth to false feel-good affirmations. On the highfalutin front, Knock Knock seeks to integrate art and commerce by creating original, authentic, non-cynical products. Our inspirations are Charles and Ray Eames and Tibor Kalman, designers who refused compartmentalization and brought intelligence, aesthetics, and creativity to everything they touched. Also, we read a lot. Following are a few things we believe: Ethics and decency are immeasurably important. Craft is important for the soul as well as the hands and eyes. Humor makes everything better. Not everything should strive to be accessible to the lowest common denominator, or any common denominator, for that matter. Empty feel-good affirmations are an instant gratification of diminishing returns, slyly interpreted truths last longer. Despite the rise of the screen, much that is interesting and innovative can be done with printed matter, though paper should be recycled whenever possible. Good should be rewarded. Problems should be discussed and resolved. Mistakes should be admitted and learned from. Common sense is uncommon. Ego is annoying. Turn signals should be used.
