Things I have learned in my life so far

Lubalin was a brilliant, iconoclastic advertising art director—in the 1940s with Reiss Advertising and then for twenty years with Sudler and Hennessey. Recipient of medal after medal, award after award, and in 1962 named Art Director of the Year by the National Society of Art Directors, he has also been a publication designer of great originality and distinction. He designed startling Eros in the early 60s, intellectually and visually astringent Fact in the mid-60s, lush and luscious Avant Garde late in the same decade, and founded U & lc in 1973 and saw it flourish into the 80s.

quantum weirdness symposium poster design

Just print the image poster below, and guess what! “…when you look at the poster up close it’s just purple balls tastefully arranged in space, but when you step back, changing your point of focus, you see Einstein’s face clearly made up of all the tiny little molecules….” (Janet Froelich, creative director, New York Times magazine).

Tichy’s homemade camera. geblek! but awesome :)

This is Miroslav Tichy, a Czech photographer:

This is one of Tichy’s homemade cameras, fashioned from cardboard tubing, string, and thread spools:

Here’s a photo taken with one of his homemade cameras:

Of the apparent quality of his photography Tichy says:

Photography is painting with light! the blurs, the spots, those are errors! but the errors are part of it, they give it poetry and turn it into painting, and for that you need as bad a camera as possible! If you want to be famous, you have to do whatever you’re doing worse than anyone else in the whole world. Geblek! but awesome. (via this is that)
