Art History Poster
How awesome is this poster! It’s a pretty thorough art history cheat sheet. My favorite line is “Duchamp owns everything.”

In 2005 Randy founded Citizen Scholar Inc., and has since designed and directed projects with numerous collaborators focusing on the points where design and responsibility meet. He contributes to various online journals and publications, and serves on the advisory board of Design Ignites Change.
The dedication (and obsession) it can take to acquire, catalog, organize, or execute a vast collection of anything is worthy of awe. The intense focus is inspiring. Here’s what I’m into lately.
Project Oficis Singulars
The Project Oficis Singulars organized by Guillem Ferran is a collaborative project in which a variety of designers from Catalonia and elsewhere created works using leather.
Music & Design: Triangles on Album Covers
I admit that I love triangles. They’re one of my favorite shapes and I’m instantly drawn to anything with three sides. I thought it would be fun to take a look at some album cover designs featuring my favorite pointy friend. Funny, but these three albums couldn’t be more different.
Keane – Perfect Symmetry
I am not a huge Keane fan, but they’ve managed to choose some really lovely album covers. The pictures of the band on the cover area actually life-size sculptures of the band members, made by Korean artist Osang Gwon. You can see the sculptures and read more about the process on Creative Review.
Mattia Bonetti New Work at Paul Kasmin Gallery
“Necklace” side table, 2009, polished stainless steel and black nickel-plated brass, Edition of 20, Photograph by Reed Krakoff
Swiss-born, Paris-based artist Mattia Bonetti will be exhibiting his largest US show at Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York beginning this month. Bonetti’s work is a balance between art and design — in his creations there is no definitive line drawn.
El Pino & The Volunteers
David Pino, an Amsterdam based graphic designer and lead singer of El Pino & the Volunteers dropped a line to let us know about their new music video. You might enjoy this video if you’re a fan of 3D typography. I’m pretty impressed with the set production…must have taken a while to get all those letters to hang perfectly.
CMYK by Lola & Bailey
Lola & Bailey, the line from Theresa Nguyen and Cheri Flewell-Smith, has recently launched a new jewelry collection titled CMYK. These enamel pendants are bright, cheerful, and definitely make us yearn for warmer days. Definitely a must-have for graphic design lovers.
