50On anti-war and typography
I have no particular opinion on the benefits or disadvantages of antiwar philosophy, but this is just something to consider. When you see “make love, not war” or what have you, more often than not, this is written in helvetica. Helvetica was originally invented in early post-WWII Europe. This wasn’t made for all the hippies to fight war, or even for war damaged veterans to have peace. Helvetica was originally used to promote American and Allied patriotism in the post-war effort. I thought the irony that the standard of patriotism in basic design is being used to promote anti-government, and liberal-philosophies that at least in their extremities promote the opposite of American or Allied political interests, was a point worth considering.
Reincarnation fact number one
On the off chance that reincarnation were real it would be super frustrating to be reincarnated into the body of Benjamin Button. The poor guy just finished getting old and dying and now he’s reincarnated into a new body that’s still super old and dying. Do there’s my happy thought for the day.
The history of Michael Jackson.
Me: Here are the photographs from the shoot yesterday
Client: Nice shots - I like this one from behind the man. Can you just flip the image so we can see his face and not the back of his head?
Me: You want me to turn him around in the photograph so you can see his face?
Client: Yes - and maybe we can make him black. Do you have Photoshop?
This isn’t Helvetica.
