Six-Fingered Madness

Rarely do I ever peruse my spam folder but it just so happens today I had the "I know I emailed it to you!" so I decided to check. Well coincidently the email was not there and it was resent no harm, no foul. That being said, I skimmed over most of the nonsense, but one image took me by storm and still really makes no genuine sense to me. I started looking at this and I thought to myself 'here's where all the art institute kids come to die', that there's some big giant warehouse somewhere with a thousand lower cars in the parking lot, just beating these kids thoughtless to sell penis pills. Welcome to Graphic Design Hell.

Please note the über-creepie six fingers on the right.

5 Insights From The Years

"Renowned graphic designer Michael Bierut claims that he's not creative. Instead, he likens his job to that of a doctor who tends to patients  – "the sicker, the better." Digging into the 86 notebooks he's kept over the course of his career, Bierut walks us through 5 projects from original conception to final execution extracting a handful of simple lessons (e.g. the problem contains the solution; don't avoid the obvious) at the foundation of brilliant design solutions."

Paula Scher and the "Geography of Design"

Part One – "NYC"

There's an intriguing point in part one talking about the environmental grid structure and how ultimately that has effected the outcome in design.

Part Two – "The World"

A beautiful discussion about "flat print graphics" to "environmental graphics" and the fight that all designers must face – the line between what the client wants and what fulfils the designer.
