It Looks Like a Smile


Book Description

Tiré du site Internet de Nieves: "Few people better exemplify the lack of boundaries in today's design world than Geoff McFetridge - He is a truely multi-disiplinary designer, 'an all-around visual auteur'. Understatement is central to the impact of his work, inviting participation. It gets through the filters by offering the viewer an opportunity to play with a puzzle for a moment, a puzzle that doesn't have one simple answer. Often imitated, but never equaled, Geoff's work spans storyboard sketches, freaky comic-style illustrations with idiosyncratic philosophic taglines and hand drawn typography. Appointed Art Director of Grand Royal, the seminal Beastie Boys magazine at the age of 24, his career has continued steadily onwards and upwards ever since. On leaving Grand Royal in 1996 he established his own company, Champion Graphics, and is also a founding member of 'The Directors Bureau' alongside Mike Mills, Sofia Coppola and Shynola. McFetridge is a truely multi-disiplinary designer 'an all-around visual auteur'. Recent projects are as diverse as packaging design for Gasbook 9, textiles for Marc Jacobs, sneaker design for Nike, stickers for the Dazed / Greenpeace campaign, a plethora of music videos and wallpaper design for French furniture company Ligne Roset."

Stop Telling Women to Smile


Book Description

The debut book from a celebrated artist on the urgent topic of street harassment Every day, all over the world, women are catcalled and denigrated simply for walking down the street. Boys will be boys, women have been told for generations, ignore it, shrug it off, take it as a compliment. But the harassment has real consequences for women: in the fear it instills and the shame they are made to feel. In Stop Telling Women to Smile, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh uses her arresting street art portraits to explore how women experience hostility in communities that are supposed to be homes. She addresses the pervasiveness of street harassment, its effects, and the kinds of activism that can serve to counter it. The result is a cathartic reckoning with the aggression women endure, and an examination of what equality truly entails.
