In February, I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture with Paul Sahre hosted by the AIGA New York chapter. I usually attend a lot of these kinds of lectures, but this one is probably one of my favourites. Its always great to hear a speaker talk very casually about his work, and it was quite refreshing to see how confident he was in talking about both his successes and failures. To my enjoyment, the video has been posted online and I’d highly recommend watching it if you have a bit of spare time.
I found this while browsing the Brand New website and thought it was really interesting. The video shows some of the different iterations VSA went through to arrive at the final Obama logo.
Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover? While looking through swissmiss earlier today, I discovered this beautifully simple archive of over 800 book covers. One thing I really appreciate about this site is their list of links to other online book archives (including fwis) and others I haven’t seen before. There’s also a very nice blog that goes with the archive.
The website was designed by General Projects out of Rockport, Maine. They’ve also done other really great work, so check out their portfolio when you get the chance.
I feel like this kind of real interaction is needed in urban spaces. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a scrabble game like this? Or other kind of game / puzzle? I guess this is similar to other groups like improv everywhere, or the people who organize those photo scavenger hunts. Can anybody read what it says?
“The Ukrainian city Lvov has recently installed what might just be the world’s biggest crossword (in physical size). The puzzle covers the entire side of a residential tower block that’s approximately 30 meters tall. During the day the crossword appears empty – with the answers lighting up at night.”
I love the attention to detail, the carefully crafted shots, and the subtleties that give it a mysterious dark quality to it. Too bad its coming out in 2018. Oh and apparently its a comedy.
