Harvard Medical School Deans Reprtposted by Joseph Fiedler
client: Harvard Medical School art director: Rachel Eastwood A complicated series of paintings depicting some aspect of Systems Theory as applied throughout the HMS's own various systems. I discovered the notion of Waddington's Marble sifting through the reams of research and after discussing a "children's toy/Rube Goldberg contraption" solution, I thought that we could use the marble/game depicting human brain research and thereby avoiding any gross anatomy.
The descending dollarposted by Greg Mably
client: New York Times art director: Aviva Michaelov A series of icons for the timeline section.
From top, left to right:
1) The dollar sank to a record low against the euro and stock markets plummeted over concerns about rising oil prices and a looming economic slowdown.
2) French President Nicolas Sarkozy warned Congress that the Bush administration must stem the plunge in the dollar or risk a trade war.
3) The weak dollar helped lift US exports and reduce America's trade deficit for the rest of the world to a 28-month low.
4)The falling dollar has made foreign travel for American tourists much more expensive, but a bargain for foreign visitors coming to the United States.
5)Underscoring concerns about the dollar, the hip-hop start Jay-Z , in his latest video, shows off his wealth by flashing stacks of 500-Euro bills.
