What Are You Looking At?

by Dan on February 5, 2009

This book just arrived in our office and it’s staring right at me!

There’s more than a little something of  the late, great Paul Rand about the transfixing cover for Essentials of Visual Communication by Bo Bergstrom (published by Laurence King)  wouldn’t you say?

…which is about all the excuse I need  to post this great video:

And if you’ve never seen Paul and Ann Rand’s books for kids, flip through Little 1 and Sparkle and Spin at Lookybook.

(Full disclosure: Raincoast Books distribute Laurence King, and therefore Essentials of Visual Communication, in Canada)

Hi Bo! Thank you for stopping by the site.

I love the cover of Visual Communication! Comparing it to Paul Rand is definitely a compliment, and I’m glad you enjoyed the film.

Your book only just arrived, but I am going to start reading it soon!

Best, Dan
