Happy Birthday Art Chantry

noreply@blogger.com (Chen wang) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 18:38:00 +0000

Today is the birthday of Tacoma/Tacoma based graphic designer Art Chantry
"Mr. Chantry is probably best known for expanding on the bristling low-tech aesthetic of punk music, in posters and album covers..."
"These works reflect an omnivorous talent for the incisive recycling of vintage images, usually with a handmade look that Mr. Chantry calls roughed up."
"Among his sources are 60's psychedelic posters, wholesome 50's advertising (including pages from tool catalogs and grocery store circulars) and Monty Python's gloss on Edwardian illustration -- usually presented with a sense of clashing social values. These are underscored by techniques like torn-edge collage, taped images, messy script, punch-printed lettering, startling juxtapositions and endless variations on the possibilities of photographic graininess achieved by repeated photocopying."

quotes on design

noreply@blogger.com (Chen wang) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 18:07:00 +0000

Today's quotes on design:
"Leafing through an old magazine, I noticed a small ad about a design course by mail. The headline read, "Art for pleasure and profit!" I have never found a better definition to describe my profession. Of course, at times it is more the pleasure and less the profit, at times the contrary. But if one of the components were missing, design wouldn't exist."
— Carlo Angelini
