Pentagram Movie

In the latest edition of the Designer Series, Hillman Curtis and his company has produced a nice documentry about the design collective Pentagram, historically one of the greatest corporate design firms ever. It's pretty amazing to hear what these great graphic designers have to say about the profession, given their experience.

Evil Air Puff



During a visit to the optometrist yesterday, I ran into my old arch nemesis: The glaucoma testing machine. Now, I know he is there to catch any early signs of the disease, but does he have to do it by shooting a forceful stream of compressed air into my eye? Bastard. We shall meet again glaucoma testing machine, only next time I will have the upperhand. Just wait...

On another note, after much internal debate and discussion, I have finally decided to apply for graduate school next year. I am still gathering names, but here are my top choices:

Cal Arts

School of Visual Arts

Institute of Design

Indiana University

RISD

The Art Center

If any of you out there have insider info about any of these schools, or just about making the jump from a job to graduate school in general, I would LOVE to hear from you. Well, I am off to see one of my all time favorite bands play tonight, Mustard Plug. See ya in the pit!

Beating Up 12-Year-Olds

Out of all the stories I have read on mcsweeneys.net, A Realistic Assessment of How Many 12-Year-Olds I Could Beat Up Before They Overtook Me by Matt Schweiger still is probably my favorite of all time. And plus, it looks like he went to Mizzou.

Enjoy!
