Today I learned … that the classic Bic pen (it is actually called the Bic Cristal) is in the Museum of Modern Art.
The Bic Pen
Design
Happy reading
This new ad campaign for Penguin Classics is lovely. (More here.)
Just keep making
Amen. You can buy this poster here.
Book lust (a continuing series)
Concept design by Elizabeth Perez for Fahrenheit 451. “The book’s spine is screen-printed with a matchbook striking paper surface, so the book itself can be burned.” Very cool.
1984 recovered
New cover treatment for Orwell’s 1984 by David Pearson. See all five of Pearson’s designs for Penguin’s George Orwell series here. (A bit more information is here.) The last image, with the title entirely cut out, was Pearson’s initial concept, rejected by Penguin for cost reasons.
Graying Obama
New Bloomberg Businessweek cover, out today, imagines Obama’s appearance in 2016.
