The Economist Social media (& other off-platform branding) The Economist exists in many forms beyond the printed newspaper. From our website and range of apps, to our presence on social media, Apple News and Snapchat—in the digital age the list is ever expanding. One of the purposes of the Print-Edition redesign is to help consolidate The Economist’s identity across the entire “brand family”, unifying all formats and platforms.

    ARTICLES OF INTEREST May 8, 2020 QUOTE(S) OF THE WEEK “I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.” − Harry Emerson Fosdick “Realists are, as a rule, only men in the rut of routine who are incapable of transcending a narrow circle of antiquated notions. But their adverse opinion does carry some weight and can do great harm to a new project — at least until the innovation is strong enough to push the "realists" and their moldy notions aside.” − Theodore Herzl “It is ... through the world of the imagination which takes us beyond the restrictions of provable fact, that we touch the hem of truth.” − Madeleine L'Engle “The possible's slow fuse is lit by the Imagination.” − Emily Dickinson “You cannot rely upon what you have been taught. All you have learned from history is old ways of making mistakes. There is nothing that history can tell you about what we must do tomorrow. Only what we must not do.” − Edwin H. Land “Imagination is the eye of the soul.” − Joseph Joubert “It isn't all over; everything has not been invented; the human adventure is just beginning.” − Gene Roddenberry VIDEO(S) OF THE WEEK Watch: Quibi's Meg Whitman on launching a streaming service in a pandemic AdAge.com Make Your Own Paper Prawn Using This Pattern Designed by Artist Lisa Lloyd Colossal Pixar Shares Recipe Videos On How To Recreate Dishes From Well-Loved Films DesignTaxi.com Fast Comedy presents: a master class for videoconferencing Fast Company Breaking Down Barriers for

    I S S ( THE ART AND SCIENCE OF) U E 03 THE POSSIBLE ISSUE 03 ( THE ART AND SCIENCE OF ) THE POSSIBLE 4 (THE ART AND SCIENCE OF) THE POSSIBLE If work is a thing we do rather than a place we go, why do we still spend so much time at the office? In a world where computers and their algorithmic minds can far outstrip us in crunching data, humans are valued P54 more than ever for our idiosyncrasies, our creativity and the connections we make. And the magic really happens when we’re together. P18 So today’s offices have to be better: not just a functional backdrop, they must actively draw us in, and out of ourselves, nurture our wellbeing, inspire us, help us to flourish in environments that are ever more saturated with technology. P28 That technology doesn’t need to overwhelm us if we apply it intelligently and sensitively. Data is what we make of it. The funny thing is, the more we use our robot assistants, THE ART AND SCIENCE OF the more we can refocus on what makes us human. Tom Smith, WSP “Great design will always be about human creativity. The computer doesn’t take that away, it just augments it.

So it’s a question that we’ve found ourselves asking again and again in this issue of The Possible.

  • Lindsay Happ 02/20/14 Production Methods Professor Meranda Noma
    Lindsay Happ 02/20/14 Production Methods Professor Meranda Noma Bar !Israeli designer Noma Bar was born into a family of artists in Jerusalem, Israel, in 1973. He has made a name for himself in the design world by focusing on graphic illustration, using negative space and graphic wit in a way that is reminiscent of Shigeo Fukuda’s style. He studied at the Jerusalem Academy of Art and Design, and after discovering his calling, moved to London, England in 2001 and has lived there ever since. !Though he was born into a family of artists and studied art in college, Noma Bar did not actually find his niche until the Gulf War in Israel. While waiting in a shelter he saw a newspaper with a radioactive symbol on it, with what looked like the facial hair of Saddam Hussein behind it. He played around with this idea and discovered his skill of depicting people with only small amounts of information. He has since built a career around this idea. !Much like Shigeo Fukuda, Noma Bar has focused much of his career on conveying concepts with minimal amounts of information. Both designers used flat graphics, bold colors, and a huge emphasis on negative space to trick their viewers’ eyes and make them think. Also like Fukuda, Bar used this skill to promote anti-war campaigns, including a gallery series entitled ‘Cut the Conflict’. !Bar has published over 550 illustrations, illustrated over sixty magazine covers, and published two books of his work. The first of these, published in 2008, is entitled “Guess Who-the Many Faces of Noma Bar” and features one of the bodies of work that he is most known for: his illustrations of famous people and characters.
