Holiday windows, NYC
It’s a shame that department stores nationwide have mostly converted to printed advertising posters in their store windows. Money’s tight, of course.
In NYC, the window display tradition lives on. Here’s a 2009 gallery of great visuals. Including an SNL 35 year tribute at Barneys.

Bonehead
Every time I teach a publication design course, I assign a famous designer (or other acclaimed individual) as a biographical research subject. As part of the class, students have to do their own research, write their own text and design their own book.
Back in the 1980s, Charles S. Anderson pioneered ‘bonehead’ design, which involved a midwestern attitude and lots of clip art. Art Institute of California Sacramento graphic design student Trixy Riggan ran with it, developing the handmade biographical tome pictured.
On the side, Trixy runs a clothing company, Fabulously Butch. I still have to snag one of her shirts. I’m told there would be irony in me wearing one.
