Fake News? Rethinking The Ethics Of Photoshop
Are you getting tired of Fake news? Can you recognize it when you see it? This topic has been discussed dozens of times over the past four decades, and double that about photo retouching in the years prior to that. We even did a dissertation on the topic back in the 2000s. The more things change, the more they remain the same! Now fastcodesign.com writer Katharine Schwab adds this to the continuing story :
Ten years ago, a set of five oaths called the Designers Accord aimed to establish a code of ethics around sustainability in the design industry. More than 1,000 design firms and organizations voluntarily adopted the accord, as well as thousands of individuals from 100 countries and six continents, helping to raise awareness about eco-friendly design while giving designers a concrete way to engage clients in conversations about sustainability—today, a commonplace practice. Now, the designer Sarah Krasley is trying to create a new kind of accord, this time for those in the business of making images.

25 logo design tips from the experts
Gosh … it’s been a while since I visited the Creative Bloq … WOW, Jacob Cass in pop-up spam — what’s the world come to??? The site has exploded as a stalking spam site! They even run the click bait preditor ads! Jacob Cass used to be a graphic designer. Anyway, this is a pretty good article — you should use FireFox and immediately click the READER icon before the page has a chance to load. Avoid all the evil stuff.
The author Nick Carson writes : Great logo design requires a complex mixture of design skills, creative theory and skilful application. Any designer worth their salt can create a fit-for-purpose logo, but truly mastering all aspects of the craft takes time. By Nick Carson ~ Graphic design
The strange story of the world’s most famous logo
There’s Trajan’s Arch and Marble Arch, the Arch of Constantine and Napoleon’s Arc de Triomphe. You can ride to the top of the biggest of them all, the 630ft (192m) high Gateway Arch in St Louis, or, in southern Spain, stare amazed at hundreds of intersecting horseshoe-shaped arches in the hypostyle hall of what was once the Great Mosque of Cordoba.
And yet the world’s most famous arches may well be those – with no claim to high culture, innovative engineering or grand historical narrative – of McDonald’s. Jonathan Glancey I love this shot … specially that Ford Vickie! Vava-voom
