Osocio visitor Tommaso Catalucci sent me these pictures of the current campaign from the Scottish National Child Protection Line. All of Glasgow and the rest of Scotland distressed children are seen in telephone boxes.
Main goal is asking people to speak out and help stop the abuse or neglect of young people.

“He can’t tell anyone his mum’s too drunk to look after him.
But you can.
If you are concerned about any child’s welfare, call the Child Protection Line: 0800 022 3222”

There is no better spot for an advert like this.

Nearly half a century ago, uncounted millions of Chinese died from starvation and political violence, both the result of a top-down utopian social movement that was intended, among other things, to rekindle China’s luster in the modern world.

And it is with such history in mind that the exhibition called “Art and China’s Revolution” at Asia Society poses a perfectly timed post-Olympics question: What came before?

In history, graphic design has evolved by adapting the new media technology of the times. ‘Interaction’ is one of the keywords for explaining the contemporary ‘New Media’. Unfortunately the graphic design community hasn’t appropriated this new paradigm yet. Most contemporary designers still have a narrow perspective assuming that interactive design is merely web-design or a computational responsive graphic.
Interaction is a concept but not a genre. So, an Interactive concept can be attached to all different kind of media. Such as ‘Interactive painting’ or an ‘Interactive concert’.
My MFA thesis is about ‘Interactive typography.’  This is a new challenge of typography in terms of adding a new media concept to pre-existing media. And my interest in interactive media lead me to an advertising agency, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, which got its fame from the most progressive challenges in interactive media design.
The design schools must find a way of adopting interactive concept in graphic design. Students have to stop focusing on just web-design (which mostly it ends up with Flash action script.) Schools have to develop its curriculum focusing on both training basic typography and form making and understanding media as a interactive method of expressing contents and sharing culture.

A few years back I wrote a now widely distributed article entitled Designer as Author. In it I argued that designers aspire to be authors because we are insecure about the value of our work. We often feel if our work were more significant, we would garner more respect. We envy the power granted artists and authors. It is this deeply-seated anxiety that was behind a movement pushing designers toward the origination over the manipulation of content.

Remarkably, this critique of the “designer as author” has been turned almost completely on its head. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard that article referred to as my call to arms, my call for designers to become authors. The misreading of the argument is evidence that the anxiety identified therein rages unabated. I attempted to argue that design itself was content enough, it didn’t need to be supplemented. Apparently that argument didn’t take.

What if you slept?

And what if in your sleep, you dreamt?

And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower?

And what if, when you awake, you had the flower in your hand?

Ah, what then?

At the mere hint of a threat, the insects adjust their preflight stance to flee in the opposite direction, ensuring a clean getaway, they said in a finding that helps explain why flies so easily evade swipes from their human foes.
