Fun connection for the #soccer people:

#LoremIpsum, the piece of nonsense almost-but-not-quite #Latin so beloved of graphic artists and publishers, has recently had its origin traced to 1966, the year than England last won the #FIFAWorldCup.

Librarian James Mosley scrambled a 1914 print of an old work by #Cicero for #Letraset.

Came across this on my old blog. It's from a small book put out by the Herb Lubalin Study Center, in 1993 - Lift and Separate, graphic design and the "vernacular"
Sorry, I will need to dig out the book to credit the writer. But I too remember this feeling

At a café, working on my Ex Libris stamp. Wish I had some Letraset dry transfers and some whiteout. Fun to design stuff on paper, but getting past the sketching stage without proper tools... I have to learn patience most of all.
