A gleeful mash-up of art, architecture and design, Woods’s work is fun, garish and immediate – an array of immersive structural makeovers that simultaneously derides and celebrates the human desire to make a mark on the urban landscape.

Somehow I’m thinking I’m able to work a full-time job, take four courses on Coursera, while learning JavaScript and gaining mass..

Right now the University of Washington Data Science course looks like it’ll be the lone survivor. I’ll probably have to drop the Stanford course since I’m already starting a week late. And yes, I’m taking a leadership course.

A diver has a very personal moment of dejection at the bottom of the pool during the 2012 CCCA Swimming and Diving State Championships at East Los Angeles College Swim Stadium on Thursday, April 26, 2012 in Monterey Park, CA. (Photo by Suzanne Tylander © 2012) This particular photo represents an emotional moment rarely caught underwater. This particular diver was expected to win the entire event. The diver knew as soon as he hit the water his form was flawed and that he might have just lost it all. I was fortunate enough to witness this moment as it was unfolding underwater. I captured the sequence of emotion just a split second after he hit the water and began to sink to the bottom with a sense of defeat written in his body language This was the image I chose from the series. I have felt this emotion and disappointment before as many athletes do. My chance to capture it underwater was rare but beautiful. It is a moment no competitive athlete wants to relive but something important that many of us can relate to. It is raw and human and real.

For years, I’ve found the sim­i­lar­i­ties between these two logos striking.

At left is the logo rep­re­sent­ing the pro­fes­sional ser­vices com­pany formed by the 1998 merger of Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand. (The designer of the logo is unknown to me.) At right is the logo for Yves Saint Laurent, using han­dlet­ter­ing cre­ated by the famous A.M. Cassandre in 1963.

35 years and sev­eral indus­tries apart, yet they both “work,” suc­cess­fully con­vey­ing either elegance (as with YSL) or, well, just a really long name. Actually, I’m not sure what the PWC logo is sup­posed to con­vey, although I’d assume they’re shoot­ing for sta­bil­ity, pro­fes­sion­al­ism, and hon­esty. But I’m not sure how the wig­gly “water­house” let­ters accom­plish that. Maybe they just had to squish those let­ters together to make more room.

Too bad the few folks I knew at PwC never appreciated good design.

EQUALITY x RAZZLE DAZZLE

Well fear not intrepid internet traveler for the LHBSA (Leica Historical Bullshit Society of America) has an image for you to to proclaim your status along with your belief of basic equal rights for all!

As someone who’s not gay, but has the common sense to be in equality for all, is it alright for same-sex equality to be abstracted into the design exercise of the week?

EQUALITY DISCO!
