New York Times
Again I am astounded how we as designers have the ability to be a part of history, and how much people value what we do (so to speak). I found out today that the New York Times from yesterday (Nov. 5) is going on ebay for over $100 because people want a piece of history - and who created that piece of history? Designers. Also, it is said that it is one of very few times (3-5) that the NYT has run a headline in a font size that big. I also appreciate the brevity - nothing but "Obama" and yet that says it all. Just some things to think about next time we are all sitting at our desk thinking that what we write/design will just end up another piece of propaganda that gets tossed aside - sometimes, people appreciate it. And you never know when you will have the opportunity to be a part of something big...
