Johanna Burai — World White Web

This work started when I searched for “hand” on Google and the search results showed only white hands. Then I noticed that the theme of white hands were recurring every time I visited a portfolio or blog about graphic design. So I started saving every portfolio image that I encountered, and in 100% of the cases, the hand was white.

This is not news, but it’s definitely something that we all have to consider and be aware of; how the graphic design world repeats and maintain whiteness.

Pakistani graphic design students refuse to let you forget that over 140 children we brutally murdered and that this country has become too used to violence, too desensitized to death, that we move on too easily.

The students of Indus Valley School (IVS) of Arts and Architecture have had enough. They will not let you forget.

“Karachi is such a violent city,” says graphic designer Umaima Mughal. “We have permanently become indifferent to the violence around us.”

Mughal along with over 20 students in her year at IVS do not want Pakistan to forget those that have shed blood. In a campaign designed to evoke painful memories and emotion, these students visually communicate the horrors of the Army Public School tragedy that shook the country on December 16 last year.

As people appeared to move on with their lives three months after the brutal massacre of schoolchildren, these graphic design students felt compelled to issue a reminder.

i really admire the design for these stairs and how they incorporate a wheelchair access ramp. in a world were barrier free design is essential to living a full and happy life, its amazing to see landscape architect Cornelia Oberlander has taken literal steps to design stairs AROUND a ramp, instead of the other way around.

This is beautiful.

Form AND function excuse me while I die

sad-commie

OH I REALLY LIKE THIS

discourser-of-kruphix

this is like, the one image that always springs to mind when I think “able-bodied people have no idea what accessibility really is.”

Do you know how much effort it would take to get up that ramp?  In a wheelchair or with a walker or a cane?  Do you know how hard it would be to make 10 turns on such a narrow path, or how embarassing it would be to take such a long time to get up the ramp because it’s probably actually at LEAST five times as long as the staircase, distance-wise?

There’s also no handrail along the ramp for cane users and no barrier for wheelchair users, so if we go a little off course and lose our balance, we’re fucked.  And this is designed so that we have to cut across the path of the people using the stairs, which I guarantee would be awkward at best and make them angry with us at worst.

This isn’t accessibility.

discourser-of-kruphix

I’d just like to remind you all that in my Chronic Illness/Pain Gothic post, I wrote the following:

  • The wheelchair ramp at the library takes two full minutes to get down.  The next day, it takes four.  The next, eight.  Sixteen.  Thirty-two.  Over an hour.  Over two.  Four.  Eight hours.  It’s been over half a day and you haven’t been able to return your books.  You decide to stop going to the library.  The architects pat themselves on the back in a Morse Code pattern that spells out “Accessibility.”

and it was absolutely about shit like this

Lenny Kravitz Fought For Respect In The Design World Before Kanye West
blackrockandrollmusic

Question: Kanye has talked about his struggles getting recognized in the fashion world—have you had any negative experiences trying to break into design and photography as a musician?

Lenny Kravitz: No, you have to be real, and you have to respect it. People have a thing where, if you do one thing, they think you can’t do something else. Oh, he’s a musician, oh, he’s a writer, oh she’s a painter. They can’t be doing something else. Well, there are a lot of people that can do many things. So, for instance, with my design company, Kravitz Design, I had to take it slow. I had to respect the people within the community. It took me years. It took me time—going to Milan, and being in the community, showing products and designs, to the point where they took me in, and they respected it, and they said, “This guy’s got the talent, he’s real.” You just can’t go in there thinking you’re gonna take it over and be respected. You have to show your work, and you have to be diligent, and just keep moving. So that’s what I did. After 14 years now, Kravitz Design is doing extremely well. But I took it slow.

Question: So do you feel like you paid your dues over time?

Lenny Kravitz: Absolutely, just like you have to pay your dues in music, or anything else. And you have to win people’s minds over, too, because people have perceptions. [Read More]

A Walk Through Art History


I designed these shoes with a unique goal in mind: to create a shoe as a summation of an entire culture’s art. Each shoe possesses design qualities, color palettes, and designs only found in the respective culture. This project allowed me to investigate art historical cultures in a special way by challenging myself to translate an entire style (or series of styles) onto a single object.

Conveniently, I was able to use these designs as the concentration section of my AP Studio Art portfolio and received a score of a 5! 

 I possess full federal copyright of these designs.

The “War on Christmas” has apparently hit Starbucks

A number of Christians are speaking out against the minimalist design of the coffee giant’s holiday-themed cups, arguing that it oppresses and denies the Christian faith. To fight back, Joshua Feuerstein is encouraging people to buy drinks and trick Starbucks into saying “Merry Christmas.” A Starbucks rep responded with a welcoming message of inclusivity.

mallotovcocktail

as my Christian father eloquently stated: “there are people starving and living in war and they’re worried about red cups?”
