Wow, these are incredible.
Scott, you should do a post on great ‘duality’ designs. Everything from the pine trees above to Escher’s illusions to stuff like the OS X Directory icon: http://images.apple.com/br/server/macosx/features/images/directory_hero20071009.png
I’ve always been fascinated with things like that. A strong pattern is the basis of a good design (as proven by your 1971 poster). Anyways, enough of me telling you what to do, you seem to be good enough finding great things to post by yourself :)

Scott, or anyone who can help, I need some help please and Im getting kinda desperate. There is very little options in my town for professional prints. Im trying to print a tabloid poster I made (CMYK FOGRA27 profile). My monitor was profiled using a Spyder Pro 3. The colors in the screen appears as nice shades of red, but every printshop I have visited is giving me very dark prints, like burned. I already tried to compensate by producing a “clearer” version, but guess what, the resulting print looked THE SAME as before. Any tips or ideas?

Thanks in advance.
