Absolut Marine
by Oscar Marine, ADGFAD, Spain
Absolut Vodka, an agency in New York, chose this work for its American publicity campaign. Due to its personal style, it was decided that it should carry the name of the author, Absolut Marine, as had before occured with Absolut Warhol or Absolut Haring.

Censorship?
Visual Arts Trends staff report
In the Land of the Free that is the United States, we don't seem to have much creative freedom. However, a shift away from political correctness to a greater degree of realism is already evident.

N E W I N O P I N I O N
Should Art directors be designers?
As we have learned so far, many of you work under Art directors, and most of you seem to be quite dissatisfied with the quality of your collaboration. Last week we saw that half of the Art directors you work for are not designers themselves, so we want to know if this might be the cause of your concerns. Do you think your collaboration would be better if your Art director was a designer?

F R O M P R E V I O U S O P I N I O N
Do you work with Art directors?
As many designers work in large studios or advertising agencies, we wanted to know how many of you worked under Art directors.
This is a statistical question that does not require a lot of explanation. The result is almost half-half. 53 percent of you never work under an Art director, whereas 23 do it all the time and 24 percent on occasional basis. It means that 47 percent of you work under Art directors either on permanent or occasional basis. As for the quality of your working relationship with your Art director, we asked you more specific questions over the past few weeks, so keep on reading our poll results to form a more detailed picture of this aspect of a designer's practice.
Do you work with Art directors?
All the time 23%
Just on occasional projects 24%
Never 53%

Something From Nothing
April Greiman and Aris Janigian
Published by Rotovision

More than being simply an overview of the April Greiman's work, this encounter is a surge on the senses, a mix of criticism, philosophy, images and illustrations. Co-written by April Greiman with design critic Aris Janigian, it is an intimate insight into Greiman's design philosophies, her brilliant fusion of technology and graphics and the many projects she has executed.

Some books for Laos
C: Praseuth Banchongphakdy
E: bpraseuth@hotmail.com
There are almost no reference materials available in Laos for young students or those who aspire to be designers. Praseuth Banchongphakdy has started a small library of books and magazines donated by some colleagues, but he is always keen to expand it. The materials do not have to be fully up to date by any means, anything you can spare would be most useful. Please contact Praseuth by e-mail to know the best way to send the books you intend to donate to Laos.
