I’m not sure exactly what it is but “Michael Bierut’s 100 Days Workshop” at Yale School of Art looks like a powerful exercise in design thinking, inspiration and creation. I love Jessica Svendsen’s daily variations on the famous 1955 poster — shown is Day 29.

An absolutely inspiring story of hate, tolerance and making the best out of a bad situation. And now, you can have a scale model “fagbug” for your very own.
Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany, New York. Because of sporting a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Erin’s car was vandalized, left with the words “fag” and “u r gay” placed on the driver’s side window and hood of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin decided to embrace what happened by leaving the graffiti on her car. She took her car, now known worldwide as the “fagbug,” on a 58-day trip around the United States and Canada.
