Diagramming Modernity: Books and Graphic Design in Latin America, 1920–1940 This massive publication offers the first comprehensive panorama of the Latin American illustrated book between the 1920s and 1940s, a period characterized by the region's rapid modernization. The books reproduced here encapsulate this transformative era, expressing and embodying emergent national and continental narratives in Latin American countries.
Diagramming Modernity reproduces more than 1,000 illustrated first editions, analyzing the cornucopia of cultural narratives they contain. In addition to showcasing relatively unknown work by many consecrated artists, the publication also boasts an extensive repertoire of avant-garde artists largely forgotten until today.
Chapters are devoted to countries and to specific themes such as Word-Image, Verbal Visualities, Pre-Columbianisms and Ancestralisms, and Social and Political Graphics.
Writers and thinkers Rodrigo Gutiérrez Viñuales, Riccardo Boglione, Juan Manuel Bonet, Mariana Garone Gravier and Dafne Cruz Porchini conscientiously investigate these themes and more.

Rosław Szaybo: The Mastermind Behind Iconic Album Covers
Rosław Szaybo, a Polish painter and graphic designer, left an indelible mark on the music industry with his iconic album covers. His work for artists like Elton John, Judas Priest, and The Clash shaped the visual identity of popular music from the 1970s to the 1990s. Szaybo’s distinctive style, honed at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, blended elements of the Polish School of Posters with a…

United States Federal Design Improvement Program
Back in 1972, in an interesting chapter in design history, President Richard Nixon and NEA Chair Nancy Hanks introduced the United States Government to the Federal Design Improvement Program. This program sought to overhaul and redesign the current standards in design within the different organizations of the United States Federal Government. What was originally considered dull and unadventurous design, shifted briefly to a style that was more bold and lively.
Tumblr media
One of the most notable logos to have come from this time was the NASA worm logo, designed by graphic designers Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn. The FDIP's influence was widespread amongst the the US federal government. It was safe to say, that design had become a necessity, and served an important purpose in not only improving the visual identity and communication of the US government, but also sought to improve the thoughts of the people surrounding the government. I think that Nancy Hanks said it best in her closing speech at the First Federal Design Assembly:
-
“Today, instead of a few isolated people, there are ranks of administrators who equate good design with good government.”
-
It is true, design has the power to influence the thoughts and feelings of people, and overall tell a story that can allow you to look at a brand in a different light. While unfortunately, the standards put into place from the FDIP did not stick and the sectors of the United States government eventually went back to their old standards in 1981. Though, small elements of this era of US design history still remain today, particularly in NASA, as in 2020, they adopted the "NASA worm" as a secondary logo type. I came across this chapter of design history after finding a video on it by Phil Edwards (link below). It ultimately peaked my interests to pursue it a bit deeper. I'd highly suggest the video to anyone who is interested in this kind of stuff! There is honestly so much more that I can talk about in this topic, so rather than go on and on, consider this an introduction to the topic!

Rationing Insulin.
I have been rationing my insulin at the expense of my health because I simply do not have the funds to replace pens. As a result my blood sugar has been spiking and staying stagnant at dangerously high levels.

I do not know or want to know what possessed me to ration my medication knowing I could possibly die from it. I haven’t been in my right state of mind in a while.
Currently I am on the medication Toujeo and I am uninsured so I have to pay out of pocket. So I am utilizing GoodRx to get me the cheapest option. I would be so immensly grateful to anyone who could spare towards my medication. I am running dangerously low and I don’t want to die from DKA.
Goal: $365
