Dancing Beijing in Print.
The August 2008 issue of the graphic design journal, Print Magazine, is now online, and it includes a brief photo essay (by me) on the 2008 Olympic logo and mascots. Alas, the online version of the article only includes one of the dozen photos (including an interesting collage) taken by my friend, Shanghai-based photographer Ariana Lindquist. Among other honors, Ari was a first-place winner in this year’s World Press Photo Contest. So, by all means, read the text online, but then don’t deny yourself: go out and buy a copy of the magazine! It’s a design journal, after all, and it looks fabulous. Below, one of Ari’s images:
[Actually, while you're looking at Print, have a look at the really fascinating "Good Type Gone Bad" which chronicles how typeface designers feel when they find their typefaces used in unexpected places. Who knew?]

“Frozen in the act of fleeing.” I like that.
