together with plans to reinvent the museum and make it a national destination for African-American history. The new brand identity is meant to represent the museum's transformation into a modern, innovative space to be enjoyed by both the local community and tourists from around the world.

THE SOCIAL OBJECTIVE Branding // Layout // Photography The Social Objective was created to combine my love of two things: layout design and social entrepreneurship. TSO creates a unique space dedicated specifically to social entrepreneurship. From collegiate startups to full fledged non-profits, TSO dynamically covers everything you need to know about social entrepreneurship in 2016.
Somewhere between a “secret ingredient” hackathon and a curated art show, it felt like there was more planning compared with previous Art Hack Days. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, only that what was previously a little scrappy and quick felt rounded-out and polished this time around. Overall, the vibe was good. The thread connecting each work was a reading of the title theme: DELUGE. That could be interpreted as anything
from the inundation of data to the very physical destruction of property by flooding waters (like Hurricane Sandy, an event still resonating in the area, especially in coastal towns and neighborhoods like Red Hook).
And data and water isn’t just a conceptual pairing either. The piece Web Warp by Audrey Fox, Cameron Ketcham, and Kawandeep Virdee used two small fountains of water to act as a controller, or switch, in normally open status. When a human — or series of humans — connected or “closed” the loop between the two spigots, the switch was activated and a laptop connected to a projector streamed through an abundance of images, screenshots, dashboards, and
visual data: Deluge, indeed. Other works were much more subtle, or even tongue-incheek, but each showed that it’s possible with technical and time constraints to generate new, novel, and innovative artworks that address or comment on the world we live in today. #Drowning immersed two challengers in Oculus Rift environments at sea. Opponents were asked to give responses to trivia-like
topics based on trending news stories from 2014 — i.e. “Africa,” “Ebola.” Depending on which opponent’s search results (in Google) returned the most results, the other would “drown” a little more in his or her virtual environment. Built with an A-version BeagleBone Black, this WiFi Taser by Max Henstell turned a Pringles can into an antenna gun of sorts, using Python to send deauth packets to knock nearby laptops off wi-fi.
Deluge, indeed.

AMERICAN ADOPTIONS Advertising This American Adoptions campaign was created to highlight the number of teenagers that are forced to leave foster care each year and fend for themselves. The serious nature of the photographs and copy communicate the pressure that a child can feel when nearing their 18th birthday in foster care. The ads aim to convince those considering adoption to adopt older children, rather than babies.

BLANK_ Branding // Layout Imagine a world without typography. To do so is nearly impossible. If typography were to cease existing with tomorrow's sunrise, how would our society continue? How would we find our way if even the letters on a compass no longer held meaning? To avoid typography is to avoid being. With Blank, the focus is shifted back to typography, and answers the question 'What does typography mean to us?'

The Good vs. The Bad
In September design felt impotent and frivolous. There is nothing inherent in our profession that forces us to support worthy causes, to promote good things, to avoid visual pollution. There might be such a responsibility in us as people. In August, when thinking about my reasons for being alive, for getting out of bed in the morning, I would have written the following down.
HOW GOOD IS GOOD? Stefan Sagmeister Born in Austria. After having worked at M&Co. in New York and at the Hong Kong office of the advertising agency Leo Burnett, he formed the New York–based Sagmeister Inc. in 1993. He has designed graphics and packaging for mainly cultural clients. In 2001, BoothClibborn published a book on Stefan Sagmeister’s work Sagmeister: Made you Look.
HOW TO BE GOOD? Well, does help by definition have to be selfless? Am I allowed to get something out of myself? If I do help, am I permitted to have fun while doing so? I read an interview with an art director in England discussing his award winning campaign ad campaign for an association for the blind, featuring a striking image of a guide dog with human eyes stripped in. He mentioned that he knew that a picture of a cute puppy would have raised more donations for the association, but was more interested in winning awards. He had no problems with this attitude.

1. STRIVE FOR HAPPINESS 2. DON’T HURT ANYBODY 3. HELP OTHERS ACHIEVE THE SAME Now I would change that priority:
When GE gives 10 million to the WTC victim families, is it ok for them to look good for doing so? Or, a more extreme case: Is it ok for Philip Morris to go and give 60 million to help out various charities and then spend another 108 million promoting this good deed in magazine ads? If you are homeless and you just got a hot meal from St. Johns in Brooklyn, one of the organizations the money went to, you don’t really give a shit if the people who gave it to you tout their own horn afterwards. Even though it really is a ridiculous case, isn’t it still preferable to blowing the entire 168 million on a regular ad budget?
1. HELP OTHERS 2. DON’T HURT ANYBODY 3. STRIVE FOR HAPPINESS
Winter Sorbeck, design teacher and fictional main character in Chip Kidd’s new novel The Cheese Monkeys, says at one point: Uncle Sam is Commercial Art, the American Flag is graphic design. Commercial Art makes you BUY things, graphic Design GIVES you ideas. If I’m able to do that, to give ideas, that WOULD be a good reason to get out of bed in the morning.
