Louise Fili has a few really beautiful books that are great to flip through for inspiration. I love looking at Grafica Della Strada and Graphique De La Rue; she documented the best street signs in Italy and Paris

Thank you!!

I’ve read Bringhurst, Ruder, Carter and all the intro books but there’s a weird gap between those books, that mainly talk about long-form copy, and then books about album covers/posters that are beautiful but don’t require much text. (I’m looking for headline inspo).

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....

Have you ever taken a new, full-time position only to (days/a couple weeks in) realize that it was the wrong move. Wrong move as in; much of what was discussed during the interview process (role/responsibilities, clients, culture and creative process) was…misrepresented. If so, what was your next step?
