Graphic Design USA's American Inhouse Design Awards this year honored three ASCD
book covers and one
magazine cover: Catching Up
or Leading the Way: American Education in the Age of Globalization; Rethinking Homework: Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs;
Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom, 3rd Edition; and «
Multiple Measures,» the November 2009 issue of Educational Leadership.
With no preset narrative and no specific protocol sequence, everything is a mix of past, present and possible, across
multiple circuits: «The news, amazon.com, a make - up tutorial, a movie trailer, fake
or real, a Benjamin essay, a French - English dictionary, some porn, our most private correspondence, a fashion photography
book, an art
magazine, yet another funny cat video all appear together and interchangeable — not to mention our music, photographs, texts, contacts and other material stored in other programs.
These experiments include literature sausages filled with ground - up
books, newspapers
or magazines in place of meat; the use of organic materials like pudding
or fruit juice in lieu of printing inks;
multiples of plastic toys mired in chocolate; and a dazzling array of variations on printed postcards.
