Culture: Why not? New dollar de$igns! (Including a Obama $1 bill)

  • These gifts from the design world come to us from the Dowling Duncan design studio as part of a yearly Dollar ReDe$sign Project, whose goal is to update our currency into something a bit more with-the-times. We can’t imagine a more controversial $1 bill than that thang. (Hat tip and a link to our buddy Charles Apple for this one.) source

Politics: A big up to our buddy Charles Apple, and his spiffy new site

  • Dear Daniel Hunt: Sorry we cut off your head. But seriously, folks, we’d like to congratulate our friend Charles Apple, who runs an awesome visual journalism blog, for his move to the American Copy Editors Society‘s site. Apple, a good friend of ours who’s offered tons of advice in the past, recently made a move from the warm confines of his VisualEditors.com home to a new home with ACES. It’s a meeting of the journalistic minds – the word people and the visual people are getting together for the first time ever. Ooh, scary. source
