one of my favorite ideas from Paul Rand’s book on design: How To Be Good(?)
struck me as revolutionary, when I first read it. it’s not something you normally hear designers say (to give it all away)(via loveyourchaos)

brilliant and beautiful.
“Ink Calendar make use of the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time. The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are ‘printed ‘ daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. The calendar enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it. The aim of the project is to address our senses, rather than the logical and conscious brain.”
I want one.

Two Months Salary by Lee Gainer…
American artist Lee Gainer is based in Washington, DC and creates images that question culturally accepted perceptions. Her series ‘Two Months Salary’ is focused on the engagement ring industry. Through the series, Gainer investigates the evolution of the engagement ring from luxury item to must-have item. She discovered the popular convention of spending two-months salary on a ring was originally invented by De Beers in 1947. This purchasing habit continues today and became an interest of Gainer’s. Gainer calculated the average US salaries for a number of occupations and found a selection of ring’s based on the two-month rule. She assembled these into a series of twenty prints each featuring nine rings and the occupation name.
