I'm now in Noo Yoik City for the week. I flew in on Silverjet, where the graphics and design are excellent. In the Silverjet terminal at Luton (pronounced Loo-tun, not Lutt-onn as said by some visiting eastern Europeans the other day) there are some well thought out graphics on the wall, with the centrepiece a projected typographic artwork incorporating airport codes. I'm sure the guy looking at the x-ray machine and his pal was obsessed with Mac laptops as he kept putting them through the machine and had a good look at them!
Staying in the stylish area of SoHo.
Walking into the hotel is like walking onto the set of a movie. Very stylish. Even got a goldfish in the room! It has to be said it is the ugliest goldfish I've ever seen.
I love the graphics in New York City. From the sublime to the ridiculous! I hope to do more about that later this week.
Some great bars in the area, with the attraction of many beers from the burgeoning microbrewery scene here in the US.
This morning I'm off to meet Tobias Frere-Jones on a walking tour of lower Manhatten entitled "Discover typographic treasures to spur creative thinking".
More later as breakfast calls.
