un-titled: SJSU senior show
‘if graphic design did not exist, information would suffer, you’d die, and things would be ugly.’
This weekend, my alma mater – San Jose State University – is putting on their 2010 senior graphic design show – with two receptions scheduled.
Tough school. Even Businessweek thinks so – SJSU is one of their top 60 D-Schools worldwide. Always incredible work.
receptions
Friday May 21 and Saturday May 22, 2010 at art ark gallery in San Jose, CA. Details here (click on the people to see their work). Blog here.
Exhibition runs just under a week. Ends Thursday May 27, 2010.
Restaurant menus, vintage
I have a small collection of vintage menus. Some cards, matchbooks, other ephemera. My Joe’s and Googie stuff.
They just don’t make em like this anymore. Beautiful utilitarian type suggesting odd specials and Braised Swiss Steak.
Nothing worse than walking into a small town diner and seeing a computer-generated mess passing itself off as a menu. Happens too much these days.
Pictured, some finds from Flickr (better than what I have). More here, here and here. Best book I’ve found on the subject, Jim Heimann’s May I Take Your Order?

Or fucking try this
One more dish. But it’s for tomorrow. You have to soak the beans overnight.
