Freak

DIANE ARBUS is one of the great American photographers of the 20th century, and would have done much more if she hadn’t died young.

品牌觀點 — 「 圖文不符」不是「志祺七七」的頻道，到底甚麼是圖文不符？不如先從「圖文」說起。師大有個鮮為人知的系叫「圖文傳播系」，前身是「工業教育系」的「傳播設計組」，以前圖傳系還被誤認跟圖書管理有關。 以前修師大一位公教系老師的課，老師曾說其實圖傳科前身就是印刷科，但更名為「圖文傳播」後又可跟「大眾傳播」有更多連結，所謂科系轉型。很多人會問圖傳科、廣設科、美工科差在哪？我想答案是：圖傳可只專於「文字印刷」，而廣設就是要「較會畫圖」，而美工更是要「很會畫圖」。但往往越會畫圖的人又忽略了練習「文字的敏銳度」，所以過去高職美工科、廣設科常被誤會是一群「不愛讀書，只愛畫畫」的學生。 無論如何「圖+文」是拿來傳播用的。雖然以前老師總說要「圖文合一」，但這個世代也可以「圖文不符」。在我認知裡，這世界上有三種圖文創作：1.平面廣告 2.水墨書畫 3.插畫漫畫 其中廣告學更是實戰商場裡的主要傳播應用，但我認為廣告文字也是種「藝術」，就像詩詞一樣需要與時俱進，文字也隨著不同世代重新定義。

I don’t want to discriminate against freaks. Lord knows I love the freak show. But running our country? I think most people are tired of the freak show. I see a blue wave coming.

If we consider how humans perceive the term strength, many of us immediately think of muscles, tendons and ligament strength to withstand heavy loads and serious pressure. Despite this if we begin to look at the body as a whole, involving the head, heart, organs, glands etc. …
