Illustrator: Renowned RISD alum and illustrator David Wiesner lectured last night in the RISD auditorium. His work, boundless imagination, and prolific career impressed me so much that right afterwards I went straight to RISD works and purchased his latest children's book, Flotsam. And..it was signed, he has a beautiful signature too!
Photographer: Jill Greenberg. And right as I was purchasing Flotsam, I noticed Jill Greenberg's latest book, Monkey Portraits. Very funny collection. I remember when she became famous for her series on crying babies that made many parents infuriated when they found out she made their baby models cry.
Green Movement: I am glad that movements and efforts to reduce global warming and give back to nature is finally in full swing. Thank you Al Gore (with An Inconvenient Truth). His book, Assault on Reason, is high on my list. Derek Smith gave a compelling speech at RISD a couple weeks back about how graphic designers have a huge power to help the green movement. " (an amazing speaker by the way, which brings back to my last entry) gave a compelling speech at Derek's message is one of essential value to designers and he will be discussing issues such as paper selection, printer selection and the impact of our daily design decisions on an individual, studio, and corporate level," but unfortunately they are not doing much at all about it. He advocates Meridian Printing, Monadnock Paper, Symbio Design and Iolabs Printing.
