DEAD LEAF

Created back in 2009 when Barack Obama gave his inspirational inauguration speech to not just the people of America but more importantly the people of the world. Scott was so inspired by his passion and his honestly to make the world a better place to live. So he created this poster of Barack Obamas face using the words from that exact inauguration speech.

OBSESSIONS MAKE MY LIFE WORSE AND MY WORK BETTER', an installation of 300,000 euro cent coins which have been laid out on a 20 x 42 square meter area. Some of the coins were placed to look like old typography and the back of each coin was painted blue to indicate whether a coin was taken away or not.

Sagmeisters show at New Yorks deitch projects gallery in 2008 featured a wall of 10,000 bananas. The green bananas stood out from the yellow ones in the background to form a pattern spelling out the following sentence: 'selfconfidence produces fine results. A few days later, the green bananas ripened to yellow and the message was gone.

The 1995 posters Scher designed for The Public Theaters production of Savion Glovers Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk featured the wood typefaces used throughout The Publics identity. The plays title and theater logos surrounded the tap artist in a typographical be-bop, like urban noise. And for the first time, advertising for The Public appeared all over the New York City landscape, from Chelsea to Harlem, in Times Square, at the Lincoln Tunnel, on city buses, and most fittingly, beneath ones feet on the sidewalk. PUBLIC THEATRE POSTER After this campaign, The Publics typographic style popped up everywhere, from magazine layouts to advertising for other shows. The whole style of theater advertising changed and everything began17

MICHAEL BEIRUT

Graphic designer, design critic, educator and a partner at Pentagram

We were trying, on a corny and simple level, to say this is a library with a surprise inside, says Beirut. I also like any logo that works when typed in any font (or at least any font with caps and an exclamation point). The logo isnt an original concept replacing the i with an exclamation mark but the appropriateness here (the surprise inside the library) makes it an effective solution. Pentagrams new identity for Bobbys Burger Palace in Lake Grove, Long Island designed by Beirut. Conveniently, each word in the name has six letters: sandwich them together and, rather nicely, you get two buns, a burger (and some lettuce).
