The BEST showreel I have ever seen.

Pentagram is now in its fortieth year and in celebration of this milestone Naresh Ramchandani and Tom Edmonds wrote the narrative of “a boy born on the day Pentagram opened and how his life has been tracked by forty years of Pentagram design.” The piece was directed by Christian Carlsson.

Sit back, relax and enjoy this showreel…Possibly with a bottle of chianti and a light snack.

Here are some thoughts that occur to me often.
It makes people uncomfortable to talk about death, i know. But I believe in memento mori. Herein is where my Christianity and Buddhism collide. However you want to phrase it, our directive is to always be ready.
I have been to Buckingham Palace, hiked the French Maritime Alps and climbed the Tower Eiffle. I visited the Mona Lisa, Monte Carlo and Vatican City.
I’ve driven a wrangler across the Golden Gate, seen real geisha in Kyoto, and had my futon made up by an ancient, deaf man outside Tokyo.
I’ve had one incredible day in the Dominican Republic, two perfect moments in San Diego, and one better-than-average weekend with my childhood idol. I’ve played cards half the night with a 70-year-old millionaire nudist in St. Maartin and made some mistakes in Mexico.
I once jumped screaming from an airplane, went skinny dipping in Key West and put my toes in the Mississippi. Today I crossed Tower Bridge to sit in the grass by the Thames and sketch it.
If life has still more to show me, I cannot imagine what it is. No wait, I’ve got some ideas.

I am too lucky to call this woman not just a friend, but a best friend. Take a moment and imagine these places and scenarios!

Type City is a recent artwork by artist Hong Seon Jang that uses pieces of movable type from a printing press to create an elaborate cityscape. It’s fascinating to watch as the need for printed books and typography wanes, the unused objects themselves are more frequently used as an actual medium. Jang also completed a much larger Type City in 2009. Also, if you liked this, make sure you watch the creation of Ephemicropolis by Peter Root, a city built from 100,000 staples.
