Ace Jet 170

Cowskine

  

The much coveted Helvetica Moleskine is indisputably beautiful, but just the other day I was distracted by another piece of lovely Swiss-ness. This Corporal's case, now seen hanging around my boss's neck, is just big enough for a couple of maps, a compass and a Toblerone. Or, if you prefer, a couple of Moleskine notebooks.

Kenney picked it up in Zermatt. He's back there now so we've all put our order in.

      

...a consistently high standard of problem solving...

 

Craig Oldham (remember Craig? He did this) has lent me his copy of Graphic design: visual comparisons by Fletcher/Forbes/Gill. Another of the Studio Vista series, this one's quite possibly the bestest with many ace examples from "back in the day" (as they say). Top names abound with Lois, Dorfsman, Gerstner, Rand, Bass, Lubalin, Schleger, BJ, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera all represented...

   

   

   

...and there's some essential, timeless wisdom from the "Ideas" School. And a photo of three handsome devils.

  

So, big thanks Craig! It'll be returned shortly.

Plot Watch: Death

  

Not much life ocurring yet. Lots of death (to weeds).

That man Terrett's in The Guardian. Read it here.

The accidental

   

Writer Mike Reed unknowingly reminded me, earlier in the week, that writer Nick Asbury had very kindly sent me a copy of his brilliant and very funny little Corpoetics book a while back. CR readers may well remember the article in last November's issue about his re-mix poetry. You can find out more on Nick's website of course, and while you're there pop over to Asbury & Asbury for all sorts of interesting stuff and foundness.

Simon Whybray twetted tweeted twittered twet...whatever...this a couple of minutes ago. Excellent cause aside, the petition signing mechanism is lovely. Try it.

Almost forgot, Jamie Boyd did it.
