Just got done taking my graphic design history test, and I’m pretty sure I got 100% of them right (maybe missed one if the guy who worked for the firm that I put down for the answer designed the advertisement on his own and not for the firm).
Oh, yeah, wait, unless the professor counts off for spelling of the Polish poster designers’ last names. Because no way in hell would I ever be able to recall names like “Franciszek Starowieyski” with perfect spelling. I’m pretty sure I put down “Starojewski” for all of those … I swore there was a “j” in there somewhere. But I know who I’m talking about, dammit. All his images are kind of grotesque.
There were two that I questioned, and I googled them as soon as I got back. One of the images was even from a day I missed class. By powers of deduction, I recalled all the designers we’ve covered who worked on Olympic graphics, and realized only one of them could have done the 1968 graphics (Lance Wyman).
And this one by James McMullan made me draw a blank.
I mixed it up in my mind with another image by Lou Dorfsman because the professor did an obnoxiously loud “ha, ha, HA!” for both of them during lecture.
Oh, graphic design, how I missed learning about you.

Ever had a severe case of test anxiety only to find out the test you’re taking is easy-peasy?

Hi there. I'm Calee (pronounced CAL-e). If that's too hard, just call me Cal. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 28ish, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
That first one will never leave my imagination. I’m surprised he hasn’t shown up in a Del Toro movie.
haha. you should look up his other stuff. most of it is NSFW.
I’m SURE you passed! Yay for easy-peasy tests! I have my final test for my health coaching certification coming up within the next two weeks. I hope I’m as confident as you are!

You will kick its ass!
I’m sure you did amazing.
Also, I can totally picture Mickelson now with the, ‘Ha, ha, ha’.

I know, right??? that makes me laugh too.
Definitely. Although, if your professor took of for crazy spelling I would be shocked. No one even worries about spelling anymore…at least in elementary school. I have mixed feelings about it, but what I really can’t stand is that no one teaches geography. I mean, it is one thing if a kid can’t find the United Arab Emirates–which I think might actually be called something else now–but when they don’t recognize the state of Texas? Well, hells bells, we have problems.
Oops. Took my comment to places having nothing to do with anything you wrote about.
Again.

you know what, that’s how i comment on everybody’s blogs, so whatever.
Yikes! geography is seriously lacking. i didn’t even think about that. i probably couldn’t name the states by shape even on a map (most of them, except the square ones and new england states).
