Reservocation is now bi-yearly. Ok, we're going to try and get issues out on a more regular basis, but an all-volunteer staff sometimes hit non-volunteer work which always takes priority. That said, we may change our format to provide smaller, more managable weekly content updates. — Jarrett

Other News & Notes
The adults have finally decided to get their online feet wet with Design Observer. Great content and nicely moderated discussions. Also want to make a quick note telling everyone to check out The Ganzfeld, a quality printed magazine and the recently revamped Voice: the AIGA Online Journal of Design.

You may remember Charles S. Anderson Design from their beautiful promo work for French Paper. Design nerd that I am, I was soon looking for an excuse to go to Target to pick up a few of the nicer pieces.

CSA began working two years ago on one of its most extensive projects — the Target Halloween 2003 campaign.

Asked to create the look of the store’s seasonal identity, the Design Company took inspiration from the campy aesthetic of vacu-form plastic masks that many adults remember from childhood. The adult party theme of “Friday the 31st” incorporates masks as giant Pop Art in-store displays.

Company founder Charles S. Anderson said, “I grew up across the street from a graveyard as a kid, and it became my playground. Halloween was always a big deal at our house. Because of this, the design of the Target Halloween campaign was one of the most fascinating and unusual programs we have worked on to date.”

Much like Edward Fella’s Letters on America book, Joe Kral’s daily diary of found type is a hidden treasure. From stark modernist faces to hand scrawled signage, his photos from the last two years provide a randomized look at the signage that occupies the U.S. South-West. At only 3 years young, this collection will only get better.

We are looking: If you come across a creative window display or anything of typographic/design interest on the street, send it our way. We’re going to try and feature at least one standout display every issue.
