Like us, you probably missed the 399th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death last week. But AIGA Eye on Design did not! They posted this clever little piece using their Design Archives and included one of Antonio’s book covers from twenty years ago!

Fresh from the printer! Here’s a first peek at the exhibition catalogue we designed for Shirin Neshat’s upcoming show at the Hirshhorn (Opening May 18). If you’re unfamiliar with her work, Neshat is a contemporary photographer and filmmaker. Her art is deeply personal yet looks closely at broad societal subjects like gender, culture and history. The book attempts to reflect her efforts to look at boundaries with a fresh perspective. See the show. Get the catalogue. We think you’ll like them both!

President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated 150 years ago today, on April 14, 1865. One of our eeriest assignments was art directing the photography of these hoods from the Smithsonian’s collection. The eight accused conspirators were forced to wear them at all times during their imprisonment except in court. Although intimately connected to tragedy, it was a privilege to work with these important artifacts of our nation’s history. This spread is from the book we designed “Smithsonian’s Civil War: Inside the National Collection.”
