Pantone 807.

Here's the fall 2008 events poster for Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art and Planning. Getting the printed samples of our Cornell posters twice a year is one of the most satisfying moments in our studio. We really love our Cornell design work. This semester's color (purple 807) is gorgeous.

What's on my screen right now.

We just presented the in-progress design of AAP NEWS05 to Kent Kleinman, the new dean at Cornell AAP. Should be a fantastic issue.

An industrial map of the United States.

This 51-year-old info-graphic beauty comes to us courtesy of John Zissovici. The map says "Showing the area of each state in exact ratio to the other states based on the value of manufactured products according to the Industrial Census of 1957."

Graphis portfolio.

Graphis has been talking about a new website for a really long time, and it's finally here. It's ok (honestly, after this long wait, my expectations were too high). But one nice feature is the ability to create design portfolios on the fly. Of course, Soulellis Studio is now represented, and in good company.

One of Richard Saul Wurman's first books, Cities: Comparison of Form and Scale. His students made scale models of cities in white plasticine and photographed them from above, and reproduced the images in the book at exactly the same scale for comparison. All of RSW's ideas about visualization and comparative data have their start in this book. 19.20.21., his latest big idea, can also be traced back to this gem.
