Lovely poster by Ben Critton. Not quite sure what it is that makes this “work” for me, but it does. It’s cluttered, but somehow balanced, and the colors are great. (via @pieratt)

Pan Am’s World: Argentina (via Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives)
Designed by Chermayeff & Geismar in 1971. I suggest checking out the whole set — they’re all super nice. And have I mentioned that I’ll be visiting Argentina in a couple weeks? Stoked!

I happened to stop by the Sonnenzimmer booth at the Renegade Craft Fair yesterday, and was really impressed with their designs. This one in particular jumped out at me. Good stuff.

The Session - Experimental Jetset
Regarding the LSD theme: it’s interesting that we actually don’t use drugs at all (apart from very modest amounts of nicotine and alcohol). In fact, Danny, being completely straight edge, doesn’t even smoke or drink, and never has. But despite being drugs-free, all three of us are quite obsessed with the aesthetic language of Sixties psychedelia. In a lot of our work we try to situate the psychedelic experience in a modernist context, an attempt that some might see as paradoxical, but we think it is far from that. It all boils down to this Marxist notion of ‘the liberation of senses’ (or, in Marx’ exact words, “the complete emancipation of all human senses and qualities”). It is there where psychedelia and modernism meet.
Interesting. (Continuing on with our Beatles theme.)

Helluva lineup, right? This particular configuration of bands only happened at this one show in Birmingham — the rest of the tour was just BT with Fleet Foxes. Pretty special. (via Daisy Winfrey)
