Visual/verbal fusion is the name of the game and the great pioneer of this was Abram Games with his wartime posters urging us to grow our own food etc.
The ever-acute Richard Williams in the Guardian yesterday commented that “Perhaps we were given a clue that these Games were going to work in a rather surprising way when something as simple as the countdown to Danny Boyle's opening ceremony turned out to be such a witty and imaginative montage”. It was indeed a delight, as the numbers flashed up with London-specific or universally significant content attached. It was the best kind of graphic art, reminiscent of the classics portrayed in A Smile in the Mind: Witty thinking in graphic design, Betty McAlhone and David Stuart’s compendium of verbal/visual punning advertising art and branding.

I have never expected such good articles from the internet. This can be truly aspiring for many readers and the writing on A Smile in the Mind has got a good message for the readers about life and faces the challenges. Keep posting on the related issues as it is educative and teaches the people great lesson. 10/10/2013 11:37:38 pm
Cross cultural studies have shown that smiling is a means of communication throughout the world. But there are large differences between different cultures. Thank you. 10/13/2013 08:53:14 pm
