Old and wise.
Series of illustrations for Scientific American Magazine for a fascinating article about intelligence and lifespan. Patti Nemoto, AD. Higher intelligence translates into a longer life because of choices and circumstances. My favorite statistic was about physical altercations. The lower your intelligence, the more altercations you are likely to have. Higher intelligence people have an average of zero altercations per lifetime. The concept was inspired by the “Goofus and Gallant” cartoons from Highlight Magazine.
Need to know.
Illustration for the New York Times Sunday Business Section for an article titled “When There is No Such Thing as Too Much Information”. Fred Norgaard, AD.
The future is around the corner.
It took longer than expected but from where I sit, demand for illustration for the web and various devices is starting to rise with budgets in line with budgets for print. Projects for web versions of magazines have become more frequent in the last few months. A request to adapt work for print and the iPad with limited animation came last week. Illustrators were nervous about the future in a post print world. It is looking brighter.
Mind Games
Illustration for Penn Stater Magazine about advances in MRI technology. The request was for a representation of MRI’s that was fun but not frivolous. Jessica Knuth, AD.
Fighting Words
Illustration for Golf World Magazine about the current and former swing coaches for Tiger Woods arguing about his swing. Tiger’s swing looked fine at the Masters. His putter cost him. Statistics show golf pros lose their putting touch around the age of 35. Tiger is now 35. Ewelina Mrowiec, AD.
Paul Rand Day
There is no bigger influence for how I approach work with clients than Paul Rand. The most important lesson learned was there are no bad projects, only bad solutions to projects. Here are a couple of short videos about the great Paul Rand. Enjoy.
