I used to be employed as graphic and web designer.

Finally! I have a flickr buddy icon and gravatar:

based on one of Josef Albers ‘Homage to the Square’ series of paintings . This painting is actually one a set of three. They’re nice little objects interspersed among my bookshelves at the moment.

Speaking of framing and Josef Albers-I’ve just received the poster for the 1972 Olympics featuring an image by Albers. I’m in two-minds over whether to get it framed. It’s likely to be quite expensive as it’s quite a large poster (1010 x 640mm). I had the ‘Play Time’ poster framed and that cost c.£80, so this will be more than that. It’s difficult – framing it adds aesthetic value to the object, it’s nice to have it presented well.

Love the film, love the poster design!! Will be on the lookout for more stuff like this to fill the wide-open-spaces on my flat’s walls. Saul Bass to Le Corbusier-type stuff.

Come to think of it, I had an old Corb poster somewhere.

I’ll spend some money on getting a good frame for this, even though it’s creased and had a hole punched through it in the post. Something thin and metallic, I think.
