Alan Fletcher, founding member of both Fletcher, Forbes & Gill and Pentagram, died last night of cancer.
One of the true greats of design will be missed. Incidently, I just picked up my copy of "The Art of Looking Sideways", which I recommend everyone (not just designers) pick up.
May he rest in peace.

More of a visual jackdraw than a compulsive collector, I acquire stuff. Things which catch my eye. Ammonities in Morocco, votive offerings in Sicily, paper cuts in Hong Kong, glass pens in Tokyo. That sort of things. I'm intrigued by useless information such as that the eight percent of population is left-handed, that giraffes only sleep five minutes every twenty-four hours, that Italians kiss twice, the Swiss three times. I enjoy encountering incongruenties – a sign announcing 'Blue Movies in Full Colour' ...
(from the art of looking sideways)
