Kenneth Hiebert's 1992 TOC (Table of Contents) always kills my students. It requires patience and attention. It certainly wasn't made with such an automatic function back then, but the challenge is to try to recreate it using that very Adobe InDesign function. #InDesign #typesetting #kennethhiebert

I'm sorry, but I HATE AI and its users.
If you like AI and you follow me, I'll block you.
If you like Gen AI imgs, don't follow me.
Go away.
Stay far away from me.

I showed my students a PDF (of which this image is a very brief and uneven summary) with a history of my graphic inspirations, from adolescence to today. I did this to explain to them how vast graphics is, but also how essential it is to understand typography in order to talk about graphic design.

I see, @zeldman.bsky.social . It's a very important that operation. You made me think that maybe this little visual pun exercise was inspired by a sense of annoyance I felt for similar habits and it remains current for this trend of high volume.

I'm watching Turning Point: The War in Vietnam. It talks about the Winter Soldier Investigation, and this spread comes up. I'm curious about the font, but I can't think of it. It could be Future Display. I have it but I've never used it. fontsinuse.com/typefaces/40...

Years ago, I would have felt like an impostor calling myself a graphic designer, let alone a designer. Then, over time, I changed. My punitive humility has come to a more moderate level. Now I inevitably consider myself a designer of anything. So I made myself a small table for the hallway.

I picked up Hugo Pratt again, but the old stuff. Like Ticonderoga (Flint), published from '57 to '62 and written by the legendary Héctor Oesterheld. I want to immerse myself in his process of choosing the graphic hints for the final synthesis of each figure.

In the Airtight Garage by Moebius there is a vignette that inspired me to a typical urban club scene, where everyone is crowded together drinking, ordering drinks, and trying to talk despite the din of the music, and I imagined myself there completely out of place.

I've never been able to dedicate myself to just 1 discipline. Drawing, illustration, comics, animation have always fascinated me. Then I discovered typography, typesetting, lettering, and I couldn't do without them anymore.

Again #johnberkey. I've gone a bit further. I don't know when I'll finish it. The main masses are rough, but the layers and brush strokes accumulated for each more detailed part are rich and time-consuming. Anyway, it won't get better, just more complete. The point is learning.

How did John Baker paint?
I'm Just trying to figure it out, to understand it roughly.
And this is the point of human-made art, more than the result: knowledge. You acquire knowledge while making (and of course while failing, as Beckett said).
