Massimo Vignelli. I had not heard his name until today yet his influence has surrounded me my entire life. In 1950, pre-computer age, he created one of the most used fonts of all time, Helvetica.

At the 2017 ceremony to open the new NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, French President Macron demonstrated how to communicate with a bully. I added the Belgian national anthem, performed by the US Navy band, for atmosphere. And a fake news ending. If the video player isn’t working for you, you can watch President […]
