Something of Muse - Social Inspiration
This passing semester in the Graphic Design program at George Brown College I received a project for my Design Culture class that sparked some interest. The design brief was essentially to create a proposal for a design museum in downtown Toronto "to be the first permanent museum devoted to graphic design in North America". I basically used this project as an excuse to spend eighty hours on something I've wanted to do for a long time.
Smokey Bear Knew Something About Typography
As it turns out, Smokey Bear is good at something other than scaring children out of camping: typography. Smokey Bear is the mascot for the US Forest Service, educating the American public about fire safety. The first poster was created by Albert Staehle in 1944. Most of the posters however, were made by Rudy Wendelin and Ad Council.
