11.29.92 week in revue


The large Bayer ad played a big roll in the display for this week. The lady’s expression addresses pain, but all pain is not the same. The announcement that NASA will scale back the shuttle missions is becoming a reality some 17 years later. Bob Packwood. Another one bites the dust.

11.22.92 week in revue


Death becomes them (nearly). DC Comics killed off Superman but there is no truth to the rumor that Dr. Kevorkian was involved. The actor who voiced the original Winnie the Pooh also died this week. An old Joseph Pulitzer stamp includes an ironic statement about the press which former President Bush is all too familiar.
When I pulled this montage together in 1992, the "doctor sign off" clipping was timely. The cartoon kid running in fear from "doctor death" was a solid choice. The "superman" logo is up for your own interpretation but it provides a visual flow across the page.

11.15.92 week in revue


No content comment this week other than to say when I found the 21st century headline I had to use it. Somehow. The Queen’s castle in flames and the out of control human behavior seemed to cast irony on the heading. The graphic display of text at angle plus the color coordination add interest to the week's news.

11.08.92 week in revue


A good week for images that play off one another. Though a horrible week if you drove I-295. Those demented bullets did not come from Chuck Connors, however, who died this week. Connors, as Luca McCain, kept peace (and killed a lot of thugs) to defend himself and those in North Fork. On the political front, Mr. Bill is already on the Vatican’s radar within a week on the job. Shades of things to come. Barbra could not be happier, never the less.

11.01.92 week in revue


Clinton wins election. Who saw that coming? Hollywood was happy but mourned the passing of Hal Roach at 100. Clipping headlines and finding a place for them can be fun. Or a nightmare. It’s usually something that strikes you at the moment in terms of point size, color and length. Good visual balance here as all elements play off Clinton/Gore central image.
