First Chapters : Stefanie Posavec
For the First Chapter diagrams, I attempted to create a system that could easily represent differences in writing style between authors. I used the number of words per sentence to generate drawings of the first chapters of various modern classics: the more tightly wound the drawing means a shorter, choppier flow of sentences was used, while a larger drawing represents a writing style that utilises long, flowing sentences.

AD Classics: Chrysler Building / William Van Alen | ArchDaily
by jeanruaud
In a skyline that has developed New York as a destination for architects and city lovers alike, the Chrysler Building by William Van Alen is identifiable from any distance for its distinguishable style and profile against its surroundings. With the initial intention to be the world’s tallest building, it remained so for only eleven months until it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. The Chrysler Building is a classic example of the Art Deco style, from the street to its terraced crown. Interior and exterior alike, it is admired for its distinctive ornamentation based on features that were also found on Chrysler automobiles at the time.

unit in these tree structures.
Toying with Transmedia: The Future of Entertainment is Child’s Play | MIT World
by sbrothier
“Popular culture demands more of us and our children than most of the classics ever did. In Pokémon, each character has antagonisms, friendships, powers, weaknesses, multiple states of being. It’s more complex than the periodic table. And schools say our kids can’t learn 12 Greek gods. This is what they’re learning on the playground. ”

by ycc2106
This site is dedicated to the Little Gems of children's television programs that have long faded into memory such as Moondial, Into the Labyrinth, The Herbs, Cockleshell Bay, Alias the Jester, Belle and Sebastien, Murun Buchstansangur, The Singing Ringing Tree, Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings (as shown on Captain Kangaroo) and Portland Bill. It also includes recently discovered Gems such as The Big Knights. These and other classics may no longer be seen on our television screens but we hope that this site will bring back vivid memories of those lazy days of the summer school holidays.

Aesop’s Fables, Volume 2 (Fables 26-50)
by Aesop
Translated by Vernon Jones, V.S.(Vernon Stanley) (??-??)
Dating back to the 6th century BC, Aesop’s Fables tell universal truths through the use of simple allegories that are easily understood. Though almost nothing is known of Aesop himself, and some scholars question whether he existed at all, these stories stand as timeless classics known in almost every culture in the world. This is volume 2 of 12. (Summary by ChipDoc)

Book Covers
A new project – for every book I read, I’m going to spend no more than 30 minutes designing a new cover for it. I will stick to classics and avoid newer stuff.
