The dean of so many great Detroit photographers:  +Bill Rauhauser 1914-2017+   An exhibition poster we did in the early 80’s, using his photo of his camera, tilting it on a angle and incorporating it’s little arrows and tic marks into my then current “connotative typography” practice.  This was also the reason for the mix of bold and medium letters within the words and blocks of words, meant to reflect the idea that a photographic likeness is composed of the grouping of lighter and darker shapes and forms into a fixed order necessary to make it a “readable” image.

Found child’s drawings, circa 1920 (?)   “Clang”  “Fire Fire”

“Help”   “You now him  So do I now him”   “Sh. Sp. Cos.”  Text and image: pure poetry and perfect compositions !
