2021/11/24

Today, we’re doing our dutiful service by revealing some secrets hidden in plain sight. We begin by talking about the symbols found all over the one dollar bill—think pyramids with eyes—and why they’re part of the bill’s design. We then shift gears to discuss who a hobo was and the alphabet they used to communicate with their fellow travelers. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and

Nothing sets the stage for a TV show or movie quite like title design. Today we explore two different examples of amazing work that went above and beyond to get viewers excited about each episode of two shows on HBO, Carnivalé and Six Feet Under.

For our special Halloween episode, and because of our love of B movies, we wanted to pay homage to one of the best horror poster artists of all time, Reynold Brown. We talk about the movie (and poster for) Tarantula, plus what is arguably one of the most recognizable staples of pop culture: the poster for Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman. (The movie? Not so much.) - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and

Photos or it didn’t happen! In this episode we explain the circumstances that led up to two images most people could sketch from memory: Bigfoot walking across a dry creek bed in the woods of California and a group of American soldiers raising a flag halfway around the world from the United States on the island of Iwo Jima. Are they real? Are they fake? We dig in to find out why they have such staying power. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss,

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na…When it comes to iconic superheroes, few if any are bigger than Batman. And when it comes to satirical news parodies, there’s no bigger name than The Onion. Today we jump into 100 years of news with the Onion’s first book, a collection of front pages entitled Our Dumb Century. We then turn the page to highlight designer and author Chip Kidd’s incredible book Batman Collected that opens with a conversation about a “floppy thing.” - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show

Flags have existed for thousands of years and are arguably the most well-known symbols for countries, cities and movements. They come in different shapes and sizes with distinctive designs and colors influenced by both patriotism, military association and legend.

In this episode we discuss two movies where a couple of designed props—one small, one big—set things in motion. First we talk about business cards causing all sorts of problems in American Psycho’s game of boardroom one upmanship. Then we shift to a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad ensemble comedy with a 1963 who’s who of Hollywood as everyone searches for “The Big W.” - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and
