Illustration Art

Over the years countless illustrators have been tasked with making countless illustrations of a woman sitting in a chair. For example, the following pictures are all from a 1932 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Each is a conventional, respectable depiction of the human form sitting.

MoMA’s Good Design Exhibition Invites Us to Reassess the Way We Design

High on Design by Wix

“What does good design mean today?” is the question that opened MoMA’s recent exhibition, The Value of Good Design.
