Meanwhile.

Hello humans. Here are some links for your computers.

  1. What does it mean to decolonize design? Anoushka Khandwala on dismantling design history 101.
    ‎‏‏‎ ‎

  2. Fifteen years of Café Royal Books, champions of British documentary photography and lords of the zine scene. Now running at hundreds of issues, their output is incredible. I wants them all.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  3. #DrawingWhileBlack – directory of black artists working in illustration, animation, graphic design, comics, etc.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  4. “I wanted to know what white men thought about their privilege. So I asked.” – Claudia Rankine article from last year, brought to my attention thanks to the incredible illustrations by Najeebah Al-Ghadban.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  5. A look back at 75 years of covering Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited. As good an excuse as any to dredge up that one time I was almost an extra in the film, but was dumped at the very last minute. My one shot at meeting Emma Thompson, dust. Not at all bitter.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  6. Boring postcards from Portugal, collected by Cristiana Couceiro. Something very calming about that particular shade of postcard-sky-blue.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  7. I’ve updated my site with some new and old covers. Those books aren’t going to cover themselves, you know.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  8. Casual Archivist on Emory Douglas’ illustrations for The Black Panther, from the late sixties/early seventies.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  9. Mini carboard synths by Dan McPharlin.
    ‏‏‎ ‎

  10. “The pandemic has made everyone stressed and afraid – but any problem is worse if you’re experiencing it while stuck in a pyjama prison.” Can a shirt and tie make you more productive? I feel a tad seen.

That is all.

Meanwhile is a newsletter about design from book designer Daniel Benneworth-Gray, aka @gray. If you enjoy reading this, a coffee would be smashing.
