THE DIRTY POST-ER

I'm a sucker for interactive design, but I would be pissed-off if I was the recipient of this poster.

DIRTY POSTER

SIMPLE = EFFECTIVE.

Awesome art direction and execution by BBDO Worldwide for the Moscow News.

Sure, it's just a promotion for The Simpsons, but how cool would it be to win?

The Wild Things You find in nyc

To mark the coming out of the movie (that I am dying to see..), Where The Wild Things Are, there is an exhibit of original drawings from the beloved children's book by Maurice Sendak. This exhibit began on October 6th at The Morgan Library and Museum on Madison and 36th and will run until November 1st. Maybe make a day out of it and get the 10$ Pre-Fixe lunch of my favorite restaurants Ayza, located on 31st between Broadway and 5th. It has a beautiful interior and also known for their fine selection of chocolates if you have a sweet tooth as well.




My roommate, Noura Salem, is starting a fantastic publication on campus called SIFT Journal, which is about sustainability in design. The journal was initially for the architecture, interior and industrial design departments, but she has now opened submission of proposal ideas for the Journal to the COMD department as well. If you want to get involved and submit anything you would like to write about sustainability, please contact Noura siftjournal@gmail.com or look for the SIFT flyers on campus.

AIGA's 365 exhibit was really good. It's worth a go-see.
