03:01:92 week in revue


It's an orbital news week as the 20 year old Pioneer 10 drifts into deep space after exploring Jupiter. A computer virus scare was more hype than reality as was Paul Tsongas’ run for president. He did possess a lot of energy and gave Bill Clinton fits. Ironic that Tsongas would accuse Clinton of lying for a statement he attributed to Tsongas. Old movie buffs will be familiar with Rondo “The Creeper” Hatton. Cuomo’s distant relative or beyond reality? Actress Sandy Dennis’ career ended this week.

02:23:92 week in revue


Some solid graphic clippings this week which play off each other. Elvis not only sang with The Stamps, he became one himself this week. The White House celebrated its 200 year anniversary. All Japanese satire aside, General Motors should have foreseen the writing on the wall before 2009. February 1992 was a leap year for Elizabeth Taylor as she completed her 60th. She went to Disneyland in celebration. Weee!

02:16:92 week in revue


The instant lesson clipping addresses President Bush’s loss in the New Hampshire Primary to Pat Buchanan. The real Darrin Stephens, Dick York, died this week. The Olympics continued, as it does in 2010, while the Daytona 500 was set to run its course. Well, not really a course. That would indicate turning in more than one direction. How does the least admired list compare in 2010?

This is an interesting display of clippings with lots of movement across the page. A mix of flush left/right alignments with free form subjects bridging across white space.

02:09:92 week in revue


Role models, or lack thereof, was the order of this week in 1992. In the graphics we see a female unwilling to forgive Mike Tyson’s irresponsible behavior. The graphic leads into a "Roots" image which in turn segues to the Jeffrey Dahmer cut up image. Dahmer was sentenced for his gruesome killings and, two years later, beaten to death by a fellow inmate with a bar from a weight machine while on work detail in the prison gym. An editorial cartoon offers a commentary on positive role models. On the other end of the spectrum was the passing of author, Alex Haley, and the Chicago Autoshow featuring the new Ferrari F40.
