“Before Theodore Seuss Geisel found fame as a children’s book author, the primary outlet for his creative efforts was magazines. His first steady job after he left Oxford was as a cartoonist for Judge, a New York City publication. In 1927 one of these cartoons opened the way to a more profitable career, as well as greater public exposure, as an advertising illustrator.”

“Reader Dan Collins recently sent me the BIG question. ‘In your opinion, what are the best designed news websites?’ I have to say, this is a painful question, because it’s so hard to answer. I don’t think there is a “best” out there yet. Some sites do things better than others, but overall we/they are still feeling their way through the dark.”

“It came as a surprise to me after over 20 years of seeing ‘normal’ world maps to come across an upside down one. The most surprising thing was that I found it surprising. It is completely artificial that we have North at the top of a map. The convention came a few centuries ago when Northern hemisphere, European navigators started using the North star and the magnetic compass. Before that, the top of the map was to the East which is where the word orientation comes from.”
“With a flatbed scanner at your desk and a little photoshop skill, you can make illustrations on the fly. As a camera, scanners have about a half-inch of depth of field. Beyond that drops out of focus, which often is a good effect. The quality of light is also soft and luminous.”

“The modern camera is a wonderful thing, but it’s nice to remember how simple the mechanism can be. You can strip away the technology until there is little left but the abstraction on which the machine is based… To simplify these cameras as much as possible I made them out of the 11×14 inch photo-paper itself. There is no film in the camera because the camera is the film. Like a salad bowl made of lettuce leaf, and consumed with the meal, the camera doesn’t exist after its utility is fulfilled. There is no machine. It is more of an arrangement than a thing.”
