really nice idea (and execution) for a photoset: texters, the body language and poses are familiar to us all

from butchers boy to graphic designer

i just came across this: a new documentary on the life of legendary dutch poster designer anton beeke, due for release later this year… sounds interesting (the site is in dutch)

coincidentally, my copy of his new book ‘body type’ has just arrived in the studio today (designed by renĂ© knip) i haven’t opened it yet but it looks amazing… i’ll post a short review when it’s open… next week

a nice collection of vintage, colour maps of manhattan drawn in ‘bird’s eye’ view, in an age where this was impossible… (via ‘luis mendo’ and ‘sanne wijbenga’)
