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.

12.20.92 week in revue


A linear design, using hand-drawn color bars and circle, bring these elements together. The road signs help communicate the big news this week, that of Clinton’s cabinet picks. He rolled the dice and gambled. Dr. Elders was a huge disappointment. She was unqualified in her position, coming up with some goofy ideas along the way. We seem to be in a similar position some 17 years later. What goes around comes around.

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.

10.18.92 week in revue


Finding some large images help fill the week’s revue. As the 1992 election draws closer, Bush looks a bit distressed. And he was never invited to play the saxophone. Pat Robertson blurted his thoughts on the Equal Rights Amendment as women scream in terror.

08.30.92 week in revue


Clinton was looking pretty smug holding the White House calling card. Gore is suited up right behind. Bush One seems to be having a headache of sorts while South African's social matrix and long history of oppression is a key element to unrest and senseless violence.

07.05.92 week in revue


Some fun this week. Clinton revived his campaign in rather amazing fashion. You will note a lean, more energy efficient Al Gore, as well. Boris Yeltsin’s yearly checkup brought new demands for the Soviet leader….getting into spandex. Doctors ordered him to get "excersized." Finally, one of TV’s earliest journalists signed off for the last time.
