Archeologists and historians have explored many fascinating facts about Ancient Egypt, thanks to survived artifacts left by this extraordinary civilization. The ubiquity and abundance of beauty products bring a big question. On the one hand, it is likely that the Egyptians had a strong admiration for a superficial look, much as most of us today. Possibly, they even set the standards for our modern perception of beauty.

This week the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened a major new retrospective of the work of David Hockney , described as "one of the most notable painters of the 20th century." The BBC tells us that Hockney's "greatest subject [was] private swimming pools," where he captures "something as impossible to fix as light on water." Personally, I think illustrator Tomer Hanuka did a better job of capturing light on a swimming pool in this preliminary sketch for a movie poster: Note how Hanuka's loose, qui

When I started this blog, my plan was to publicize my favorite works by great illustrators of the past. I had a long list, starting with illustrators such as Leyendecker, Rockwell and Cornwell-- and figured I would soon get to the talented Saul Tepper. Then 12 years went by. I fear that many people share my mistake of treating Tepper as an afterthought: he's an important artist that we'll get to eventually.

As a reaction to this, consumers begin to see responsible products not only as a good move for the future, but as a paradigm shift that needs to happen now. The circular economy suggests that our products will no longer just support our own needs, they will participate in a much bigger system.

You've never heard of the illustrator H. J. Mowat (1879-1949). He was lost in the sea of anonymous illustrators of the 1920s and 30s who worked in the style of the famous Henry Raleigh. Thousands of popular magazines of the era featured loose pencil illustrations shaded with charcoal or blocks of wash. It was an appealing style because it was fast and helped conceal a multitude of artistic weaknesses.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
