A Journey Through The Great English Vortex!

The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.

A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies! A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!

Since the surfacing of the term “deconstruction” in design journalism in the mid-1980s, the word has served to label architecture, graphic design, products, and fashion featuring chopped up, layered, and fragmented forms imbued with ambiguous futuristic overtones. This essay looks at the reception and use of deconstruction in the recent history of graphic design, where it has become the tag for yet another period style. We then consider the place of graphics within the theory of deconstruction, initiated in the work of philosopher Jacques Derrida.We argue that deconstruction is not a style or “attitude” but rather a mode of questioning through and about the technologies, formal devices, social institutions, and founding metaphors of representation. Deconstruction belongs to both history and theory.

From Massimo, I Iearned that designing a book wasn’t about coming up with a clever place for the page numbers. He taught me about typography, about scale, about pacing, about refinement. I learned to think of graphic design as a way to create an experience, an experience that was not limited to two dimensions or to a momentary impression. It was about creating something lasting, even timeless.

Frá yfirborð á hugtakinu “Afbygging” í hönnun blaðamennsku um miðjan 1980, orðið hefur setið að merki arkitektúr, grafískri hönnun, vörur, og tísku lögun hakkað upp, lagskipt og brotakennd eyðublöð imbued með óljós framúrstefnulegt ívafi . Þessi ritgerð fjallar um móttöku og notkun Afbygging í nýlegri sögu grafískri hönnun, þar sem það hefur orðið tag fyrir enn eina tímabil stíl. Við teljum þá í stað grafík innan kenningarinnar um Afbygging, hófst í starfi heimspekingur Jacques Derrida. Við höldum því fram afbygging er ekki stíll eða & “viðhorf” heldur háttur af spyrja um og um tækni, formleg tæki, félagslegum stofnunum, og stofnun líkingamáli framsetning. Afbygging tilheyrir bæði sögu og kenningar.

‘Is that a man’s cub?’ said Mother Wolf. ‘I have never seen one. Bring it here.’

A Wolf accustomed to moving his own cubs can, if necessary, mouth an egg without breaking it, and though Father Wolf’s jaws closed right on the child’s back not a tooth even scratched the skin as he laid it down among the cubs. ‘How little! How naked, and—how bold!’ said Mother Wolf softly. The baby was pushing his way between the cubs to get close to the warm hide. ‘Ahai! He is taking his meal with the others. And so this is a man’s cub. Now, was there ever a wolf that could boast of a man’s cub among her children?’
