de Kooning Retrospective
The Willem de Kooning Retrospective at MoMA not only highlights major works of the artist (which are gorrrrrrgeous), but his process as well—something that may relate to us as designers.

Manly men, doing the manly things men do

Celebrating Female Icons of Graphic Design
After spending some time in the creative industry, Swedish design duo Hjärta Smärta ("Heart Pain") observed that there weren't nearly enough female design role models at the forefront of our cultural awareness. So they started Hall of Femmes, an online project (alas, in Swedish) highlighting female designers and art directors who have significantly influenced creative culture. In 2009, the pair traveled to New York to interview some of these design icons as the basis for a series of books and soon thereafter they published four of these volumes honoring female creative legends.

Silkscreen Studio in Brooklyn
For all of you who have been kicked out of Pratt's silkscreen studios time and time again, there's a ready-to-use print shop in Brooklyn. Called Gowanus Print Lab, they supply everything but the paper and have a 10% student discount. No classes necessary. I highly suggest it!

A Charity With Beautiful Design
If you haven't heard of the non-profit charity: water, now you have. They are a charity that has treated its branding and design as if they were a for-profit organization; creating a clean, beautiful design aesthetic. Their goal is to help end the water crisis in developing nations, and they are doing so in a smart and unique way. I encourage you to read more about them.
Check out their website!
