I Only Speak Gibberish

timemagazine:

For this week’s cover story by Joe Klein about the loss of his parents, we designed a graphically simple cover.
It marked the first time in more than a decade (spanning more than 500 covers), that only typography with no image appeared inside TIME’s iconic red border.
The headline ’How to Die‘ on a solid red background echoes the magazine’s iconic ’Is God Dead?‘ cover from April 8, 1966. That cover, which the L.A. Times named one of the 10 magazine covers that ‘shook the world,’ was the first type-only cover in TIME’s history.
It used a variation of the Bodoni typeface on a solid black background and was an extreme departure from the small, limited type treatments featured on the cover the previous 34 years.
To illustrate this week’s story, however, we stayed closer to our established visual language — the headline was set in Franklin Demi, one of our family of typefaces.
While we wouldn’t necessarily call it divine inspiration, several have drawn comparisons to the 1966 cover. And it’s certainly rewarding to know we can continue to uphold TIME’s storied 90-year visual history.

I never really followed this season. But he’s cute. And really adorable in his I-just-got-out-of-bed outfit. :D

Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?

And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?

Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?

The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.

I loved this part. HIL.AR.IOUS.

i was babysitting a little boy and girl once and the boy asked me if i had a boyfriend and i said “no!! but i have a girlfriend!” and he said “like a friend thats a girl?” and i said “no like a boyfriend but they’re a girl instead of a boy! we still do couple things but we’re just both girls” and he said, without missing a beat, “oh ok! are you gonna marry her?”

like it’s literally that easy for kids to understand
