Anonymous asked:

When I went to grad school, we had to take classes on "diversity" that were basically meant to teach us not to be racist. Our professor asked about the kind of town we'd grown up in. I told them I grew up in an affluent city full of rich people. The professor said, "you're probably a lot more racist than you think, just because you haven't been around a lot of minorities." I said, "you're the one who assumed I meant "white" when I said "rich." Sounds like you are the real racist here."

Tell me, after he got done yelling at your smug, racist ass, did he fail you, or just throw you out of class?

The Universal Arts of Graphic Design - Off Book

Though often overlooked, Graphic Design surrounds us: it is the signs we read, the products we buy, and the rooms we inhabit. Graphic designers find beauty within limitations, working towards the ultimate goal of visually communicating a message, be it the packaging of a product, the spirit of a book, or the narrative of a building. Utilizing a language of type and imagery, graphic designers try to make every aspect of our lives defined and beautiful.

On November 24, 1953, this letter was sent to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Special Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency by Eugenia Genovar. Genovar wrote to express her support for banning comic books (like the one shown above), which were then being investigated by the subcommittee to determine if a relationship existed between juvenile violence, crime, and media such as television and comic books.
