Found this Wim Crouwel poster in full 1969 regalia on Typetoken, a new online magazine that asks you to join its journey into the symbolic world of typography.
Project is a collaboration between graphic designers Mike Sullivan of Mister and Mark Millic of Modularlab, and web developer David Cole of Mayfield Digital.
We are in the business of creating the future. Technology unprecedented explosion of advances is shaping the landscape – in fact, preparing the playing field, for us.
But we, creatives of the world, are the ones populating it. Therefore, we must take full responsibility of what we will cast and broadcast.
Only us, can insure that visual media and design culture does not become a huge consumerism wasteland.
Let’s make sure that that one idea at a time, we affect the world, our world.. for the better.
Your taste is why your own work disappoints you
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not.
But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.

Big Innovations Question the Status Quo by Warren Berger
How Do You Ask the Right Questions?
What if someone sold socks that didn’t match? In his new book Disrupt, Luke Williams, a veteran of frog design, talks about how that offbeat question was the impetus for the launch of Little Miss Matched, a company whose purposely mismatched socks proved surprisingly popular with young girls.
As for the ones who don’t stop asking questions..
