The Daily Heller

If you ever listened to any of Marshall Arisman’s stories at the end of a thought he'd say: “Does that make sense.” This verbal tic in an otherwise warm yet authoritative speaking style was not really a question but an assertion. Of course, his stories (even the most nonsensical) made sense and now a new exhibition at the SVA Gramercy Gallery (229 E. 23rd St.) opens tonight featuring a number of Arisman’s lesser-seen visual stories. https://www.printmag.com/daily-heller/the-daily-heller-arisman-is-back-and-forth-and-always-with-us/

This essay by Ezekiel Kwekuis the most insightful and inspiring article on how a flag symbolizes American division, identity cohesion and the role of graphic design in all of it. This is an essential read.

Once upon a time in the land of newspapers there was something called make-up men (and a few women, very few). They were overseen by production men, who, along with art directors made sure that paste-ups were were completed to exacting specifications (or not) from "flimsies" or tissue layouts.
