Powers of Ten
.
Charles & Ray Eames Powers of Ten (1977, Distributed by IBM)
In case anyone missed it (say, I don't know, because you were caught up in football, or stuck in traffic behind a rockslide on Snoqualmie Pass on the way back from Idaho), Sunday was 10/10/10 – and with that in mind, New York design network Core77 is inviting videographers to create 2-minute video responses to Powers of Ten, to be judged by a panel of six judges including MoMA Design & Architecture Curator Paola Antonelli, filmmaker Gary Hustwit, and Eames Office director Eames Demetrios. The winner gets $2,000 cash, an Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair, and a bunch of other cool stuff. The competition opens October 18th and all entries are due by January 9th – click here for details.

Postal Work
.
I collected stamps for a few years when I was a kid. A philatelic convention at the Seattle Center cured me of that pretty quickly—I realized I was in way over my head and didn't really have the devotion required for finding the coveted upside-down airplane. Still, I've always thought stamps were cool, both as a concept and as a design icon. Above are some of my favorites (click to enlarge).
Before the www, there were people with whom I traded probably hundreds of letters over the years. So even though I've pretty much given that up for e-mail, it's good to see the USPS stepping it up for 2008 with a couple great stamp designs.
Charles & Ray Eames, out this Summer.
Vintage Mahogany Speedboats, out now.
The USPS offers an exhaustive explanation of how new stamp subjects are chosen here. There's a committee which includes members as diverse as Karl Malden, former second lady Joan Mondale, and Graphis editor Martin Pedersen.
If you want to suggest a stamp design, send them a letter.
