In case you didn’t notice, Goggle’s logo illustration on Friday was an old-timey grouping of citrus fruit very suggestive of vintage fruit crate labels. This being a genre of illustration I’m interested in I decided to go down the rabbit hole and clicked on it. It ended up taking me to a very informative Wikipedia page about Albert Szent-Györgyi, the scientist who discovered vitamin C and its connection to citrus fruit.

The key to faking screen printing is to be imperfect. As you can tell from the above poster (which was created digitally) someone went to a lot of trouble to make everything a little off-kilter. The type is placed at cockeyed faux pasted-on angles, and there are holes in the "ink coverage" of the solid areas. This poster is actually part of a great little tutorial and if you look at the number of steps involved and the repeated tweaking of elements you'll see that it was actually a lot of effort to make this poster look spontaneously thrown together.

Did you celebrate International Chess Day on July 20? Not to be confused with National Chess Day, which is celebrated on Oct. 9. Who knew National Chess Day was a Libra? But I digress ... The chess board pattern has always held a certain fascination for me. It bubbles up into pop culture every so often.
