Women "rock-star" designers

This article Wy are there so few female "rock star" graphic designers?

Another great piece of writing by Michael Bierut. Milton Glaser's reply to the question, while probably true is very blunt.

[Glaser said] that the reason there are so few female rock star graphic designers is that “women get pregnant, have children, go home and take care of their children. And those essential years that men are building their careers and becoming visible are basically denied to women who choose to be at home.” He continued: "Unless something very dramatic happens to the nature of the human experience then it’s never going to change." About day care and nannies, he said, "None of them are good solutions."

Cool Advertising

Cheeky advertising from carlsberg - found on serif

Processing

After hearing about processing I saw this piece of infoGraphics by Sagmeister down with processing and was thoroughly impressed.

My website is finally up and running. Still a lot to do and fix, but its a work in progress. Some of the work needs to be retouched and laid out in a more sympathetic way. I would like to have all the print work photographed and then put up, but that will take time. I want to link to my blog as well, hence to quick redesign of my blog.

Hope you enjoy.

Alan Fletcher: Living by design

This is a great article written by Michael Bierut from Pantagram NY.

"I'd sooner do the same on Monday or Wednesday as I do on a Saturday or Sunday. I don't divide my life between labour and pleasure." Alan Fletcher

Noisy decent graphics

Great blog about graphic design here

no. 10

In his book Picturing & Poeting Alan Fletcher says, "The 0 in the number 10 on the black door of the British prime minister's house at 10 Downing Street is wonky. Take a look when you next see a newsreel."

He's correct. And I know why.

It's supposed to be so that when you look down the street (from Whitehall) you see the door at an angle and the 0 looks straight.

Type trumps

A set of Type Trumps, a play on the game Top Trumps, in which different typefaces are attributed numerical values. These figures are then used to enable the cards to be won or lost using some of the tried & tested ‘Top Trumps’ rules. The Type Trumps have a ‘ranking’, which is a subjectively ascribed positional value based on my personal favourites. Each card also has a ‘special power’ in which participants have to debate which would win. Both the ranking system & the strings of ‘special powers’ add a whole new geeky dimension to the game!

Wedding invitation

Simply removing the dot from the word ‘claire’ reveals the word ‘dave’ proving that they really were meant to be together. The word ‘dave’ was printed in metallic blue on uncoated white stock and covered by a translucent stock which carried the dot of the ‘i’ and the wedding details on the reverse. The two sheets were then stitched together with white cotton.
Entered into D&AD 2007 Annual. Won Gold in the New York Festivals.

Decisions, decisions



Virgin Atlantic were launching a beverage service for their long haul flights and needed a series of logos that were capable of doubling as pattern for their beverage packs.
Keen-eyed passengers may spot that each stain contains a discreet skyline of a popular Virgin destination.


resented to Virgin Atlantic, these cups where designed to work with the progressive movement of an airline beverage trolley.
On entering each cabin section the cup's 'Tea?' or 'Coffee?' choices are clearly visible to those waiting further down the aisle, yet as the trolley approaches the waiting passengers the cup's choices 'fade' to an understated pattern.

Brilliant artist/designer/sculpture who does the most amazing readymades and generally cool/contraversial stuff.
