It’s National Park Week!

"The first thing we decided to do was to standardize the size of folders into a system of folded posters that could be placed in kiosks or hung in school hallways or classrooms. Then we created a very flexible grid with an identification band at the top ith the name of the park, and selected a limited range of typefaces and sizes….

The result has been a very consistent level of quality, a strong visual identity, and, above all, an incredible financial saving due to the standardization of all the elements.” Design: Vignelli, p. 43

“Try not to compromise. So many people don’t do what they really want in their hearts because they feel like they’re not good enough, or they’re not smart enough, or they’re not talented enough… anything. And that doesn’t matter. In order for you to live a remarkable life — in order for you to live a life that is fulfilling — you need to be able to go after what you want. And if you don’t, you’re not going to achieve it — ever.”
— On Humble Pied, Debbie Millman shares three pieces of wisdom to guide the way to a remarkable life. Dive deeper with her timelessly wonderful illustrated-essay-turned-commencement-address on courage and the creative life. (via explore-blog)

“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.”
— Susan Sontag (via mishproductions)

YES.

Naomi Nakazato 

It’s like looking at old photos on Facebook and cringing. Two years of progress and it feels so good.
