> INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS

Really interesting to see all the different posters from varying promo companies for Inglourious Basterds. And I especially love it how the spelling changes on some of the posters, according to the country. Can’t wait to see it.

> MIDWEEK WISDOM

This is so true. I used to give myself 5 hours to write an essay, that’s not including research. 250 words per hour. There abouts. I’d normally started at about 9 at night and 5 hours later, at 2 in the morning, I’d reach my conclusion. Could have had something to do with my hectic social schedule involving much of my thought being directed towards costume preparation, instead of my essays.

> VOGUE’S GRACE

Any newspaper you flicked through on the weekend would have had a film review or article about The September Issue. Director R.J Cutler and his crew spent 8 months in and around the Vogue office in the shadow of Anna Wintour. Cutler didn’t go in with any particular M.O. just the intention of being a fly on the wall, providing an insight into the daily rigmarole of the office. Enter Grace Coddington, Vogue’s Creative Director.

After spending the first couple of months locked out of Grace’s world – Wintour insisted the camera crew go on a shoot with her. Much to Grace’s displeasure. She new she could do nothing about it so chose to embrace the opportunity. And so R.J. had his story. The continuous cheeky tug of war between two women on the same side. Result: Anna Wintour – fabulous editor at any cost. Grace – heart & soul, the storyteller. And if you don’t have a story you’ve got nothing to edit.

The preview only gives us a snippet of Grace. So I found more.

> WELL WRITTEN

This is off the front cover of the Design Paper. A Melbourne independent project within The State of Design festival. These are the questions they answer before asking. The rational. Why can’t all writing be ‘accessible, and positioned in a broader frame of reference – in terms of language, history, world events, literature, politics and environment, as well as other design disciplines’?
