Utilitarianism!



For the first time, today I was really interested in the topic we were studying in Philosophy. I was paying rapt attention.
When my plans for world domination come to fruition, I will be using utilitarianism to make America better. As well as justice as fairness.

Utilitarianism promotes experiments in life. Experiments come before rules. You don't start with rules, you start with liberty, and then when someone has a bad outcome, you measure the consequences and do what is in the greatest interest of the whole. Tradition is bad because it tries to protect itself, and progress is not as feasible. Utilitarianism is great because it allows a lot of room for experiment, change and progress. It also forces you to weigh consequences and analyze them.

John Stuart Mill, John Rawls

Inspirations...

Picking out good graphic design from the superfluous amount of disgustingness in American Modernism.

Alexey Brodovitch:  These spreads are wonderful because the type mimics the shapes of the photos. The second one also mimics the shadow because all the type on the left side is in bold. Amazing!




Louis Danziger: This piece is very memorable and so creative. I love it! Paint tubes as skyscrapers.
