An icon of our profession passed January 11th from a stroke. Japanese graphic designer and artist Shigeo Fukuda was best known for his simple, iconic antiwar and environmental advocacy posters. If you would like to see more of Mr. Fukuda’s work you can do so here. You can also purchase a book detailing his work here and read the full story of his life and passing at the NY Times.

“PSST! 3 is a collaborative film project. 17 films are currently being made by 51 teams of Designers, Directors, Animators and Composers.

The mission of PSST is to produce original short films through the collaboration of different teams of designers, directors, and animators. Each film is comprised of three sections produced by three different teams. This process is the whole idea behind PSST! – a technique derived from the Dadaist game of Exquisite Corpse and the children’s game Telephone and applied to the arts of motion graphics, animation and film-making.

PSST! is curated and organized by Bran Dougherty-Johnson of Grow Design Work.”

From the people involved and some of what is already on the site in terms of news, this looks like something to keep an eye out for. Could be some interesting content coming soon.
