A DOG ALONE IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT

I’m reading this great book and can’t wait to let everyone know about, this is to serve as a teaser to the actual post I hope to write in few days.

Paul Rand on Design

March 22, 2007

That graphic design is generally considered a minor art has more to do with posturing than it does with reality. The paucity of great art is no more prevalent among designers than it is among painters. To be sure there is a basic difference between graphic design and painting. But that difference is one of need and does not preclude consideration of form or quality. It merely adds more stress to the normal difficulties entailed in producing original work.

— Paul Rand. A Designer’s Art [1985]

The important thing to remember is that where there is choice, there is meaning.

Peace is Possible

March 8, 2007

From the request of a friend I downloaded Jimmy Carter’s latest book Palestine Peace Not Apartheid I strongly recommend this book especially to those political leaders in Israel who seem to be the largest stumbling block to peace. The Author provides a great history about the region its people and their history and plight as only someone who held such a high political position could. As I said before I have the audio version, but I feel more inclined to recommend the print version. Jimmy Carter is a great speaker but I grew tired of his voice as he recited his thoughts. The book left me believing that a solution was possible!, but immediate action is required — Lets make a push for the people of Palestine!
