Tony Schwartz, 84, who was most famous for creating Lyndon B. Johnson's 'daisy ad,' has died. Schwartz majored in graphic design at the Pratt Institute, and worked on political ads for a number of candidates, including Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. The New York Times obituary is a fascinating tribute to a man who changed modern political advertising.

Every summer, New Yorkers wait in line (or as the natives like to say, "on line") for hours to get tickets to Shakespeare in the Park. And for thirteen years, the posters advertising the Bard's offerings have been designed
by Paula
Scher. Pentagram's blog takes a look back at Scher's posters from the first one in 1994 to the posters for this year's production of Hamlet.

"Now Showing: Exploring the lost 'art' of the film poster" was the brainchild of London's Cosh gallery. Forty artists
designed
posters for a cult, classic, or obscure movie, including a number of our favorite illustrators. Von partnered with Non-Format
for Planet of the Apes; Grandpeople did Yellow
Submarine;
and Vania Zouraliov did Kuroneko. (A couple of our New Visual Artists participated too--check
out the full
Flickr set.)

DestroyFlickr is a bit of a misnomer, because it's really a program that helps you use Flickr better. You can drag and drop photos to
download,
view them on a dark background,
and save
a history of your navigation. [via SwissMiss]
