MTA - Graphic Standards Manual
Reading the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority – Graphic Standards Manual. This is so much fun. Credits and Links to PDFs at Joe Clark’s fawny.blog. flickr here. Source here. Choice quote regarding the unearthing of this artifact at the Pentagram offices: “The manual was found in a locker beneath old gym clothes.”
Lady in a Bubble
First time I saw these. From the flickr album description: This iconic Bubble series was created by fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky for the Harper’s Bazaar 1963 Spring Collection. Via Iso50.
True Adventures in Better Homes
This is beyond awesome: Nadine Boughton likes the the schlock of men’s adventure magazine covers from the 50s and 60s. She also likes the modern living illustrations of women’s magazines from the same era. Quite logical conclusion to marry both. Via and via.
Geometric video
Carlo Vega made this geometric animation music video inspired by the art from Geometry Daily. The latter is a tumblr-blog where german graphic designer Tilman Zitzmann posted one geometric graphic composition a day for the last year. He seems to keep it going but “only” on weekdays ;)
