What ever happened to Herb Lubalin, Grapus, Tadanori Yokoo, Ken Adam (the Dr. Stranglelove/James Bond set guy), Kate Gibb, Saul Bass, Shinro Ohtake, Keiji Ito, Willy Fleckhaus, and all those Polish poster artists?...

As computers have put the power to publish into everyone's hands, more and more schooled graphic designers are finding themselves surrounded by artists who switched to the dark side of commercial design. I won't pretend that's not me.

What horrid loser-fication happens between 2 and 3 Ds? If you've spent any time online looking at this stuff, then you know what I'm talking ...

Friends, I'm about to reveal something that may frighten and scare you: the Japanese are waaay ahead of us. Sacrificing height for a fourteen-hour advantage over NYC, the zippy little people in the east are engaged in a battle for freshness we can't even dream of competing with. Having laid waste to...
