CIA’s Lost Magic Manual Resurfaces

At the height of the Cold War, the Central Intelligence Agency paid $3,000 to renowned magician John Mulholland to write a manual on misdirection, concealment, and stagecraft. All known copies of the document — and a related paper, on conveying hidden signals — were believed to be destroyed in 1973. But recently, the manuals resurfaced, and have now been published as “The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.” Topics include working a clandestine partner, slipping a pill into the drink of the unsuspecting, and “surreptitious removal of objects by women.”

Dieter Rams & the graphic roots of product design

Rams’s work uses graphic design, and applies it to the criteria of ergonomic form (as opposed to the usual book or poster format). In some cases it even seems that the form of the product has evolved around the graphics.

Although Freshjive has taken a subtler approach to their branding, trading textual logos for a black box icon, the same unfortunately can’t be said for their clothes. For a t-shirt commentary on “how the Obama administration is maintaining continuity with its disgraced predecessor,” the streetwear company took a ham-fisted approach, clarifying their washed out, faded copy of Shepard Fairey’s “Hope” portrait with the words “is fading fast.” Designers take note: when your message is a manipulation of the most iconic image of Obama, and possibly any President ever, there’s really no need for superfluous text, which like explaining a joke, ruins it.
