I am going to publish a Science Textbook for UK high school children (ages 11-14) this year.
I need a sample cover design and a sample design for the pages inside. This will go into a brochure to be sent to schools.
It needs to be a traditional design and one that can cope with lots of text and images.
If we are successful then there are 144 pages that will need designing and approximately 500 images that will need creating.
Attached is an example of a textbook design, my copy for both internal pages and the cover.
For further design hints, i suggest you google Key Stage 3 Science Textbook.
If I accept the work, I will need to see examples of similar work done before. It is a particular skill to design textbooks.

At Walmart, Cyber Monday comes on Friday
Posted: Nov 21, 2016 1:33 PM CDT
NEW YORK (CBS NEWS) - Cyber Monday is starting earlier and earlier.
Walmart (WMT) said Monday it's kicking off its so-called "Cyber Monday" deals at 12:01 a.m. EST Friday for the first time ever as it aims to grab customers ahead of its competitors.
Last year, the world's largest retailer pulled up the "Cyber Monday" deals to the Sunday evening after Thanksgiving for the first time.
Cyber Monday, which falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving, is typically the busiest day of the year for online shopping. The phrase was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation's online arm, Shop.org, to encourage online buying when people returned to offices where they had high-speed Internet connections.
Since then, the proliferation of smartphones has given shoppers constant web access, and now retailers are using Cyber Monday to pull in shoppers hungry for deals continually.
The push to start Cyber Monday deals earlier follows what has been happening with Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which used to officially kick off the holiday shopping season in stores. Over the past few years, retailers such as Walmart, Macy's (M) and Target (TGT) have started the deals earlier into Thanksgiving. And they're now offering many of the same deals online as they do in stores on Thanksgiving.
This year, Walmart, based in Bentonville, Arkansas, is making Thanksgiving deals available online at 12:01 a.m. EST on the holiday, three hours earlier than last year. Walmart is starting its deals at its stores at 6 p.m. on the turkey feast, the same time as last year.
Ravi Jariwala, a Walmart spokesman, told The Associated Press that three out of the four customers it polled said that they wanted to shop Cyber Monday deals earlier -- after the kickoff in stores.
The move comes as Walmart aims to compete more aggressively with online leader Amazon (AMZN). Walmart reported last week that its online sales growth accelerated to 20.6 percent in the third quarter from its 11.8 percent pace in the prior quarter. Its online business has been helped in part by its growth in product assortment. It now offers 23 million products online, nearly triple from last year's holiday shopping season.
ComScore predicts online spending on Cyber Monday will jump to $3.5 billion from $3.12 billion last year.
The firm's preliminary holiday season shopping forecast is for online sales to rise as much as 19 percent to $81 billion.
Aside from a dip the day after the contentious presidential election, there are no signs that shoppers' appetite for spending has been seriously weakened, said comScore analyst Andrew Lipsman. Another firm, Adobe Digital Insights, forecasts online sales will be up 11 percent to $91.6 billion this holiday season.

Geneva 2012: Porsche Boxster
March 8th, 2012 // Posted in Motor Shows, Porsche
Back in January Porsche revealed the first official photos and information on its all-new Boxster. However, Porsche had always planned to wait until the Geneva Motor Show for the roadster to make its public debut.
There's no new press material, so we've repeated the text from January for you after the break. There are a few new press photos and also a short video from the launch in Geneva.
Bernhard Maier, Sales and Marketing board member sums it up best: "Driving experience, on a winding road, on a Sunday morning. The sun is shining. Good music, the best music is coming from the Boxster itself, the motor. That seems to be one of the perfect days in my life."
One final thing, imagine how much better the Boxster will look when it's not in gold or brown paint!
Originally posted 12 January 2012:
Lighter and more muscular, more distinctive and more fuel-efficient
The new Boxster generation – the mid-engine roadster from Porsche
Stuttgart. Never before in the history of the Porsche Boxster was a change of generation so comprehensive. The open-top two-seater car is being marketed with a completely new lightweight body and a completely revamped chassis. Considerably lower weight, longer wheelbase, a wider track and larger wheels significantly enhance yet further the mid-engine sports car's driving dynamics, already far and away the best in its class, supported by the new electro-mechanical power steering. The new Boxsters boast superior performance and are also up to 15 per cent more fuel-efficient. Depending on model, they get by with significantly less than eight litres of fuel per 100 kilometres.
The new Boxster thus delivers what the fundamentally changed styling with shorter overhangs, significantly forward-shifted windscreen, flatter silhouette and expressive edges promises. The passengers are enclosed by the completely redesigned, fully electric hood, which now dispenses with a convertible top compartment lid. The interior concept offers the occupants more space and reflects the new Porsche outline with the raked centre console, which, originating with the Carrera GT, ensures further improved ergonomics in all models.
The new sports car generation makes its debut in the classic Porsche pairing of Boxster and Boxster S. Both models are powered by flat-six engines with direct petrol injection, the efficiency of which is further enhanced by electrical system recuperation, thermal management and start/stop function. The base model's new power unit delivers 265 hp (195 kW) from a 2.7 litre displacement – ten hp more than its larger displacement predecessor. Technically, it is now based on the 3.4-litre engine of the Boxster S. This now delivers 315 hp (232 kW), which is five hp more than before. Both models feature a manual six-speed gearbox as standard with the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) available as an option. Both sports cars achieve their best fuel consumption and acceleration performance with the PDK. The Porsche Boxster's fuel consumption with PDK is 7.7 l/100 km and 8.0 l/100 km for the Boxster S. With gear changes without interruption to the power flow, the Boxster sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, the Boxster S in 5.0 seconds.
To enhance driving dynamics yet further, Porsche offers the Sport Chrono Package as an optional extra for the Boxster, featuring dynamic transmission mounts for the first time. Also new in the Boxster is Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with mechanical rear axle differential lock.
The market launch of the new Boxster generation will be on 14.04.2012. The basic list price in Germany will be 48,291 euro for the Boxster and 59,120 euro for the Boxster S, including 19 per cent value added tax in both cases.

The Woodward Alumni Hall of Fame Association
Our Inductees
Ursuline Markowski Brunnemann Inducted 2010 - Class of 1940
Ursuline Mary Markowski was born on a very cold and snowy morning. Her birth arrived at the very same moment that her father, imagining the worst, woke the sleepy pastor of St. Hedwig Church and demanded that his newborn daughter be baptized without delay. By the shadow of the baptismal font and with the urgings of the priest, her Christian name became Ursuline after the order of nuns, with Mary added for good measure.
Her neighborhood friends on Bronson decided that Ursuline could be shortened to Urs, and together they attended Our Lady of Lourdes on Hill Avenue their first three grades to learn Polish. After mastering the intricacies of Polish, Urs's father had a change in heart and sent her to Martin School to learn English. With no high school in Adams Township, Urs chose DeVilbiss for her freshman year and transferred to Woodward when her sister, Florence, graduated from Martin.
Considered a farm kid by her peers and with the nickname of Urs, Woodward was a
transformational period in her life and one that she treasures to this day. The memories of the noon movies in the darkened auditorium with a brown bag lunch still bring a smile to her face. The women of the Class of 1940 were basically limited in their career choices, but Woodward's physics, chemistry, and science teachers opened worlds in science that weren't limited to that of secretary, teacher, or nurse. George Rohrer, a young debonair French teacher, took his students on spellbinding mental tours of Notre Dame de Paris, the Left Bank, the River Seine, and French cuisine.
The Class of 1940 entered the adult world after the attack on Pearl Harbor and, with her training as a surgical nurse at Toledo's Mercy Hospital School of Nursing, Urs volunteered and was commissioned a Lieutenant in the army and shipped to a military hospital in England. Since Urs was proficient in English, Polish, and French, she was assigned to a medical group headed by her future husband, Captain Auben Brunnemann. They landed on a bombarded beach in France from a LST. Their assignment was to travel behind the advancing GIs establishing field hospitals. Her Polish language skills came to the forefront as their unit pushed deeper into Germany and the Holocaust victims.
Captain Brunnemann's nickname for Urs was Suzie Q. They were married in a Napoleon Stable-Cum-Chapel accompanied by a G.I. playing an old accordion and howling If You Knew Suzie. Like I Knew Suzie. So when you see her tonight call her Suzie, the name that has stuck with her to this day.
After Suzie left the military, she became a stay-at-home Mom for her two sons. She has put her nursing skills to good use as a Red Cross Volunteer Nurse from 1946 to the present. Her work in various medical capacities has taken her to Tripoli; North Africa; Texas; Florida; and Ohio. She is also a member of the Women's Overseas Service League, Army Nurse Corps Association, and a Charter member of Women's Memorial. Suzie is one ole' soldier who never faded away.
Suzie was widowed after over 40 years of marriage. She has two married sons, five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. From her home in San Antonio, Texas, she enjoys reading, international cooking, and traveling.
After learning of her selection to the Woodward Hall of Fame, Suzie commented, "I was completely awed and speechless for the first time in my life. Then, thinking of the struggles and the sacrifices of our immigrant parents since the snowy morning I was born, through the Great Depression and WWII; not living to see this day brought me to tears, which I seldom do."

Not sure if this is new, or just web connection issues. If the Hosting company is having problems (and many are having SQL issues) or the site is too busy, etc., we're stuck. I need to know if now "always" these computers are having problems – or just intermittantly.
I just found out that WOL has been on a "Dangerous URL" database for who knows how long. My new software would not let me near it. Had to spend lots of time getting it "whitelisted" and can not find out exactly who's database it's been put on…. I've not had that issue before.
LET ME KNOW if you EVER get that malware or BAD site denial by a browser. Get me ALL the error data and the name of the database if possible – who's it is.
Half the plugins and WordPress have updated in the last 2 weeks, so there's bound to be trouble.
Who else is getting weird stuff just lately??
This website is blocked by your network operator.
(UNQUOTE) If I copy the link and then put it into my browser manually, then I can get through 100% of time.
There are a lot of reasons. I'm sure all have heard about the Google "Truth" standards. There are 1000s of "watch lists" that feed to browser and computer malware programs. Sites that had been hacked were never fully taken off the "do not surf to" lists. Gee wonder why that might be?
The ISPs are being mandated a lot of crap via big you-know-who in order to suppress info from sites that get active people.
There is a LOT of security on this site. It is already blocking certain "types" of access. If you use TOR on an IP set that is attack listed, you'll not get far anywhere as those IPs are listed in Block lists.
I clicked on that link and tried various ways to access the suite and couldn't get anywhere, so it's router / firewall or malware listed.
If people get URLs that are used for getting OFF blacklists or malware lists, let me know by email so I can start the process to get off. That seldom works as I found on many ISPs that were blacklisted for things none of sites ever were involved with and never were hacked.
Bogus crap as you infer.
Only Not-Real usernames are locked out for a period of time. A person must know their Username and Password to get in. So be careful when you log in.
If they don't know that, they need to contact me.
Only Usernames & Passwords… not email addresses. If they don't know their password, then use the recovery steps. If they don't know anything, then that tells us they aren't Bugsers. Newbies need to contact me or one of the Bugsers who will contact me.
Important note for site admins: If you are the administrator of this website note that your access has been limited because you broke one of the Wordfence firewall rules. The reason you access was limited is: "Exceeded the maximum global requests per minute for crawlers or humans.".
Is there some way to allow opening of a couple windows at one time, while preventing abusers from draining the site's resources with too many requests?
Important note for site admins: If you are the administrator of this website note that your access has been limited because you broke one of the Wordfence firewall rules. The reason you access was limited is: "Manual block by administrator".
New error message. Please address and fix this.
Myself and two other bugsers I know of are getting blocked by that also. I've assumed it was triggered by IP address, since I can get on if I change my IP address. But apparently it's not just IP, from what JP Outlook says.
As you all know, this site has always taken massive traffic hits good and bad. For anyone to say Google doesn't rank it is crap on Google's part. This site has astronomical numbers of hits from all bots everywhere and spammers and garbage wp-login attacks. That is why we turned off self-registration.
There are 3 major types of security on this blog and one of them is set very aggressively for several types of hits (GET and HEAD are denied types–which hackers use). @JPO – the error you posted (thank you) is one I can change, but that means you were sitting and very rapidly calling for MANY pages per minute from the IP range you were logged in on. If you really did that, I will lower the threshold – but if you use an IP that bots/hackers/spammers also use – then that is why it over-ran the benchmark.
We adopted a new type of hit block that has ranges of IPs that hit this site massively. We changed how that is done now. If anyone sees a "blocked by Admin" message, you've been caught in a trap I've seen and blocked – only an Admin can unblock those.
Security has become a JOB on WordPress sites. And if they are not attended to on a daily basis, and a known threat hack is not patched immediately via updates, the site could go down in hours depending on what trojan made it through.
Keep emailing if you are locked out. ALL ADMINS can unlock. If they don't know how: CONTACT ME.
There doesn't appear to be a means on the site to register as a new user.
There is a button to Log In, but not to register. How do people go about setting up a new account? Is the lack of a 'create new login' function an oversight, or a deliberate omission for security reasons?
Yes, I've gotten that as well.
That is a TOO BUSY error. They have been all day trying to "repair" the SQL, so there is something still off.
People need to email me as soon as the site is down or people cannot log in.
NO OTHER ADMINS SHOULD BE UPDATING ANYTHING. UPDATE FAILURES REQUIRE COMPLETE SERVER LOGIN CAPABILITIES TO ACTUALLY REPAIR.
I'll send an e-mail next time.
This isn't to do with logging in "Sys. Op." but the forum looks strange in some areas—this has happened in the last few weeks. There used to be more of a graphic user interface, but it's now text and links without nearly as much G.U.I. which formerly made it easier to use. Pic. attached to show how it looks from the different browsers I've recently tried it on.
There was no pic – but several have looked and can't see anything. One person said they were on the forum last week and it wasn't looking right, but was okay the next time.
Laura will be checking to be sure the hosting tech took care of the wordpress memory situation – it all times out before stuff has a chance to load.
Also on this site, the reply content toolbar, the two search boxes on the bottom, etc. don't pop up right away for about a minute when you go on to this site still and it's been going on for more than 3 months now.
I came back to this thread when I saw the replies to it and the issue has disappeared, back to its better appearance thankfully.
Laura got the hosting company FINALLY to put the site onto the correct MEMORY available. I believe it was forever timing out on all loads due to half the memory available than the lowest required to run any wordpress installation.
Let me know if you have any 500 internal errors as well. That is usually a memory problem as well. We haven't had any "old issues" I won't put here for a long time.
It means you're coming in on an ip address that has been deemed hacker/spammer network.
Please email me the ip address you're using to get it cleared. Many eastern block and Chinese/Thai are blocked en masse.
We can fix a manual block.

Health Info & Resources for Seniors
Fresh Air and Sunshine Improve Physical and Mental Health
To reduce your risk of exposure to COVID-19, it's important to heed the recommendations of public health officials regarding social distancing but that doesn't mean you have to stay cooped up indoors, says geriatric specialist Roopa Anmolsingh, MD of St. Luke's Senior Care Associates.
"It's true that older adults are more susceptible to both getting COVID-19 and having serious complications from it," she says. She explains that as we age, our immune system also changes in its ability to fight disease and our cells become less adept at identifying pathogens, which are organisms that cause disease. To make matters worse, many older adults have other conditions, such as malnutrition, diabetes, COPD and cardiovascular disease, which lower their ability to fight an infection.
"While it's best for older adults to stay away from others who might have the disease and not even know it – even your friends and loved ones – you don't need to stay indoors," she says. "In fact, fresh air and sunshine can do wonders for your physical, mental and emotional health."
Your body makes vitamin D when your skin is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Vitamin D has many health benefits such as boosting the immune and nervous systems, supporting healthy bones, increasing mood lifting chemicals and cardiovascular health. The National Institutes of Health estimate that 40% of American adults have vitamin D deficiency.
"You don't have to spend a long time in the sun to get the health benefits of UV rays. We recommend 15-20 minutes a day," Dr. Anmolsingh says. "Vitamin D has been shown to reduce hip fractures, high blood pressure, stroke and myocardial infarction (heart attack). Also, when you're outside you're more likely to be mobile and physically active. But even sitting outside, reading a book and having a cup of water can be helpful.
Sunlight has also been shown to increase happiness.
"Just being outside and communing with nature has shown to increase vitality, making you more resilient against physical illness," she says. "When we're in a park, or even our backyard, we tend to feel more alive, more at one with nature. Our energy levels increase."
Dr. Anmolsingh reminds you to wear sunscreen before going out in the sun for protection.
If you are prone to spring allergies, she suggests that you wait until 10 am on warm or windy days as pollen levels are highest in the early morning. Also wash your hands and face and change your clothes when you come back indoors.
One of the best and safest activities is walking but she discourages older adults from visiting popular parks where it might be difficult to keep a six-foot distance from others.
"Instead, walk in your yard or neighborhood, if you can safely," she says. "Seek out less popular parks or paths that are less traveled but secure and greet others from a safe distance."
Also, bike riding is good low impact, calorie-burning activity for many older adults, Dr. Anmolsingh advises. If this is a new activity, however, she suggests that you check with your doctor to ensure you have adequate muscle strength, balance, vision and cognitive awareness to prevent falls or getting lost. For safety reasons, avoid riding when it's raining or windy and always wear a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and proper footwear. Also, keep your bike well maintained and be sure that the tires are properly inflated.
"Fishing is another excellent activity to soak in the benefits of the outdoors," she says. "It is cognitively stimulating and can provide socialization as long as you stay at least six feet away." Using a rowboat or kayak to fish, or just as a way to enjoy the water, are other acceptable activities. But again, be sure you have good muscular and cardiovascular health, wear a life vest and equip your boat with other safety equipment. Also, make sure that the lake, stream or river is safe and avoid bodies of water with a fast current or rapids.

Art Art & Artists
Eckhaus Latta:
Christopher Y. Lew, Nancy and Fred Poses Associate Curator
The last ten years have proven to be a fertile time for young New York fashion designers, who have injected new energy into the fashion industry as well as art and culture more broadly. While the Whitney does not often mount exhibitions on fashion—Eckhaus Latta: Possessed is the first in twenty-one years—recent work by emerging designers has dovetailed with concerns key to many young artists including the fluidity of identity and its relationship to images; the dissemination of a brand, whether it be personal or corporate; and an omnivorous perspective that draws from different disciplines as well as various notions of taste. The parallels between certain designers and artists offer a vantage point from which to observe one industry from the perspective of the other. Fashion—which is constituted of those who design and realize collections of clothing, the garments themselves, the constant cycle of what is in and out of mode, and the mechanisms that serve to announce the season's new trends—is a system that is not unlike the art world but operates on a different tempo. While the goal of fashion is to reflect, or even anticipate, the current moment, a marker of success in the art world is having one's work acquired for a major museum collection, where it will be kept safe for future generations to study and enjoy.
The work of emerging designers has reached beyond traditional fashion clientele to wide audiences, entering into conversations on art, music, and film. New York–based labels like Telfar (launched in 2005) and Hood By Air (2006–2017) have, in their own distinct ways, examined twenty-first-century notions of consumer identity, branding, and subculture. Adding to this interdisciplinary mix is Eckhaus Latta, founded by Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta in 2011. The design duo has found inspiration from the wide variety of materials they employ, a reflection of their training in sculpture and textiles during their undergraduate years at the Rhode Island School of Design. Their deeply collaborative practice involves not just the two designers at the helm, but draws on the work of artists, architects, graphic designers, musicians, filmmakers, and other creative individuals that now span New York and Los Angeles. While it's no secret that it takes a team, if not a small army, to produce two seasonal collections a year, Eckhaus Latta is transparent about their collaborations, insisting on naming those who help them do what they do. Their practice is emblematic of what is necessary today: it is equally dependent on its followers on social media and the relationships it builds with real people. Eckhaus and Latta have helped foster emerging voices in a number of fields, all the while creating an incisive label that reflects the contemporary moment.

Eckhaus Latta's runway shows further demonstrate the duo's collaborative sensibility. Past presentations have included a minimalist soundtrack performed by Dev Hynes, a vegetable-laden set created by Alex Da Corte, and a text-based shirt collaboration with artist and musician Brendan Fowler. Their choice of models—both professional and nonprofessional—is telling. Artist and former fashion designer Susan Cianciolo, gallerists Bridget Donahue and Lucy Chadwick, collector and patron Thea Westreich Wagner, publicist Cynthia Leung, and artists Juliana Huxtable, Torey Thornton, and Maia Ruth Lee (who was pregnant during the spring/summer 2018 show) have all walked in Eckhaus Latta's shows. In bringing together a group that cuts across age, race, body type, and gender, Eckhaus Latta is not making tokenistic gestures of inclusion but rather showcasing many of the individuals who are a part of their creative and social circles and who have inspired their practice. For example, Susan Cianciolo, who has walked for them over many seasons, has been an important influence on Eckhaus and Latta. An artist and designer who first emerged in the 1990s, Cianciolo is known for pushing against the fashion industry by refusing to mass-produce her designs. Through her broad and generous vision, she has collaborated with Mississippi-based quilters and incorporated culinary happenings and filmmaking into her work.To further complete the circle, Brendan Fowler had worked at Alleged Gallery, which was founded by Cianciolo's former husband Aaron Rose and was where she first installed her RUN RESTAURANT in 2001. RUN RESTAURANT was reprised as part of the 2017 Whitney Biennial, which I curated with Mia Locks.For her—as well as for Eckhaus and Latta—the lines of distinction between art, fashion, and culture are blurry or perhaps no longer useful or relevant.
Eckhaus Latta's designs are meant to be open to the interpretation of the wearer, intended to integrate into one's wardrobe to reflect the style and identity of the possessor. While some tops and dresses are designed for a specific gender, the designers' views of sexuality and gender acknowledge a gradient of identities instead of strict binaries. Rather than allow the clothes dictate who one ought to be, Eckhaus Latta creates "lapped" T-shirts, knit sweaters, and unisex jeans that can be worn with one's favorite oversized wool coat or pencil skirt, conforming to the look of the wearer in a more charitable manner than, say, the closed loop of Balenciaga's fall 2017 menswear collection that featured a hoodie branded with the logo of its own parent company Kering.David Lieske, "Fashion: The Fall Collections." Artforum 55, no. 9 (May 2017): 115–16.While the young designers' intent is to bestow agency upon the wearer, they do not shy away from the untraditional. They have applied rust onto denim pants and vests, employed sheer fabrics—which they call "fluid"—for dresses and tops, and created elaborate one-of-a-kind pieces, such as their autumn/winter 2015 light blanket coat made from a found throw festooned with knitted Italian mohair and acrylic paint.
All of this speaks to their broader conception of identity, which they see as mutable and largely self-fashioned. Through their clothes they aim to offer a wider notion of fashion, going beyond the restrictive definitions established by mainstream brands. In an interview on authenticity, Latta has said, "I think the Eckhaus Latta customer relates to how we're trying to provide an alternative to standardized norms of beauty, or size, gender, and race."Anja Aronowsky Cronberg, "Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta." Vestoj, no. 8 (winter 2017): 234.And yet the designers recognize that there are certain limitations to a brand and its accessibility. Speaking of their label, Latta continued, "It can be exclusive in other ways. It's only sold in a few, upmarket stores; not everybody would feel comfortable going to Dover Street Market."Ibid., 236.Or, to put it another way, here are a few lines from their autumn/winter 2018 press release written in the form of a poem (a form favored by the designers):

In 2017, Eckhaus Latta was invited to edit issue number 17 of A Magazine Curated By, a biannual publication that invites a different designer to "curate" an issue. Latta and Eckhaus modeled theirs after an advertisement-filled September issue of a mainstream fashion magazine, like Vogue, that marks the start of a new year of fashion. Eckhaus Latta's publication is their take on each of the key sections: front matter dedicated to gossip and party photos; commissioned feature articles, photo spreads, fiction, poems, and interviews—all interrupted intermittently by fake ads by real artists; and traditional back matter, such as horoscopes, advice columns, and personal ads. At once sincere, candid, humorous, and ambitious, the issue functions at different levels for different audiences. For their fans, it serves as a document of so many past designs and collections. For those who are closer to their social sphere or interested in the contemporary art world, there are humble sparks of recognition in knowing that the back-page ad for the Horny Surf Club memorializes the beach forays of Latta and her friends, such as Rob Kulisek, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Amy Yao, and others; or that the cover story was shot by Roe Ethridge—an artist who both makes commercial photographs and appropriates the visual vocabulary of such images in his art. Eckhaus explains, "When developing A Mag it felt essential for us to play with the language of advertising since it has such a large role in printed fashion media. . . . It was a fun way of including a wide range of people that we are close with, admire, and have worked with in the past to explore something that is rather distant from the medium and language most of them often work in."Mike Eckhaus, email to the author, July 2, 2018.These are connections that are both playful and giving, not intended as a game for insiders only, but as a way to invite everyone in to a kind of all-encompassing inner circle. Perhaps the "Spotted" section of the publication puts it best. The headline accompanying photos of the Eckhaus Latta team on the streets of New York and Los Angeles reads: "They are just like us."A Magazine Curated By, no. 17 (September 2017): 40.
Possessed, Eckhaus Latta's installation at the Whitney, looks to the broader fashion industry, training a lens on how emotional connections—desire, seduction, attraction—are produced and manipulated. This often first occurs through marketing and advertising, which can disseminate a brand's message before consumers have any physical interaction with its clothing. Even though physical retail stores are in decline in the United States, the shopping experience is still a major way for designers to articulate their vision through the immersive experience of a flagship store. The layout of the space, lighting and music choices, and imagery all contribute to the atmosphere of the store, whether or not customers are conscious of it. As Roland Barthes wrote in his foreword to The Fashion System: "In order to blunt the buyer's calculating consciousness, a veil must be drawn around the object—a veil of images, of reasons, of meanings; a mediate substance of an aperitive order must be elaborated; in short, a simulacrum of the real object must be created, substituting for the slow time of wear a sovereign time free to destroy itself by an act of annual potlatch."Roland Barthes, foreword to The Fashion System, trans. Matthew Ward and Richard Howard, 2nd ed. (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1990), xi–xii.
The veil is what Eckhaus Latta both draws down and pulls away in this exhibition. The images the viewer first encounters in the installation knowingly toy with the look of iconic fashion advertisements. The label's past campaigns typically seduce in a quotidian way. Whether presenting a motley crew of cool kids lounging in bed or a forlorn middle-aged woman seemingly abandoned on an L. A. sidewalk wearing a necklace of dried pasta, the image they project is a far cry from the luxurious fantasy of high fashion. Eckhaus Latta has so eschewed lofty escapism that their spring 2017 campaign featured images of real couples engaged in sex (with some strategic blurring added in postproduction). The duo's decision to open Possessed with glamorous images is not intended to make fun of the work of, say, Richard Avedon or Steven Meisel. Instead, it is an act of homage to the long lineage of photographers and models that created the look of fashion. And yet, Eckhaus Latta's photographs stand apart from so many fashion spreads because of their inclusion of a far more diverse cast than their luxe counterparts.

The installation leads with fashion images in the way that one often encounters ads from a label before the clothes itself. Possessed traces this arc and, in the following section of the exhibition, presents an operational retail environment that offers a direct experience with the clothing by enabling visitors to handle and try on the line made specifically for the show. Exhibitions traditionally privilege sight above the other senses, but for fashion exhibitions this is at the detriment to the experience of clothes that are meant to be worn and used. Retail spaces in general encourage active engagement, albeit to drive sales. For Eckhaus Latta's installation the option to purchase garments is available, though the ultimate motive is for Museum visitors to learn firsthand about the label and its designs. The special collection itself is what the designers call an "introduction" to the label, a line of clothing that utilizes silhouettes and forms that have become associated with Eckhaus Latta, and are here produced in novel fabrics and colors, in addition to new treatments to vintage shirts, one-of-a-kind knitwear, and beaded vests that reside in the space in between jewelry and garment.
Inherent in exhibiting fashion is the challenge of intimating the real-life use of garments. Fashion historian and curator Anne Buck wrote in her 1958 Handbook for Museum Curators: "The beauty of dress, always ephemeral, is so closely connected with the living, moving body which wore it and gave it final expression, that a dress surviving, uninhabited, may appear as an elaborated piece of fabric, an accidental repository of the textile arts, but little more."Quoted in Amy de la Haye, "Exhibiting Fashion Before 1971," in Exhibiting Fashion: Before and After 1971, by Judith Clark, Amy de la Haye, and Jeffrey Horsley (New Haven, CT, and London, UK: Yale University Press, 2014), 54.From 1947 to 1972, Buck was the curator of the Gallery of English Costume at Platt Hall, Manchester, the first UK museum focused on costumes and dress.Ibid., 50. See also, Veronica Horwell's obituary for Anne Buck in The Guardian (UK), June 3, 2005.She was a pioneering figure who, in order to demonstrate the construction of garments, allowed visitors to try on dresses from the collection and be photographed in them with full make-up. The practice ultimately came to an end in order to prevent the garments from being damaged through use and exposure to human sweat.
More recently, Australian fashion curator Matthew Linde has been experimenting with the form of fashion exhibitions. From 2013 to 2016 he ran the exhibition space Center for Style in Melbourne, where he invited local and international artists to participate in exhibitions and performances that presented clothing and visual art side by side without hierarchy. In 2017, Linde organized The Overworked Body: An Anthology of 2000s Dress at Mathew Gallery and MINI/Goethe-Institut Curatorial Residencies Ludlow 38, both in New York's Lower East Side. For the closing performance models wore the garments that had been on display and walked the block between the two venues. Not only did this set the garments and their wearers in motion but it brought the pieces back onto the street, a kind of temporal rewind to the downtown New York of the early aughts.

The retail environment of Possessed is where Eckhaus Latta's collaborative process is most visible. To create this space, Latta and Eckhaus worked with a bicoastal group of artists to design the shelves, hooks, mirrors, and seating that populate the space, creating something akin to a group exhibition, albeit one in which all of the objects maintain their function. The resulting aesthetic is ad hoc meets controlled precision. Torey Thornton's sound system–equipped cardboard bench is placed near Sophie Stone's sculptural rug assembled from rope, an IKEA mat, and found carpets. Annabeth Marks's clothing rack is doubled by another parallel bar installed high above it that supports a large, unstretched abstract painting, drawing equivalence between different kinds of supports, a structural and conceptual framework to hold up painting and fashion.
Possessed concludes in a darkened room resembling a security office, with a grid of flat screens displaying closed-circuit footage from various retailers that carry the Eckhaus Latta label as well as from the adjacent retail environment. The silent videos offer banal shots of stores, their wares, and shoppers, acknowledging the ubiquitous tracking and surveillance that is part of consumerism, and revealing its dull visage. Unlike the high-gloss, attention-grabbing photographs at the beginning of the installation, the CCTV material has little flair. It is imagery that was never intended for public consumption. Rather, it is workaday footage for the shopkeepers and security officers who track shoppers and the products—not just to prevent theft but also to collect information on the habits of their clientele. The inclusion of this surveillance room offers a different perspective on the rest of the installation. Having reached a dead end, viewers must return the way they entered, revisiting the retail environment as well as the fashion photographs. Suddenly, it clicks that the cameras trained on a person can include both the fashion photographer's lens and the unflinching gaze of surveillance. As shoppers covet new pairs of jeans, companies are swarming to the metadata of mass consumption.

For the Eckhaus Latta autumn/winter 2017 presentation, artist Collier Schorr walked the runway in a baggy, gray woolen sweater. Modeled after a dolman, a cape of Turkish origin, it sloped over her shoulders and draped loosely with elongated sleeves. Evoking 1990s slacker chic, the crocheted text on the garment snapped it back to the current moment. Reading "is this what you wanted" and absent of any punctuation, it proposed an ambiguous line for a time of uncertainty—a moment of political discord following a polarizing presidential campaign, of positive economic numbers amid individual hardship, and of innovative disruptions from Silicon Valley. Speaking about the garment, Latta explained, "I think of that one as a signifier for the wearer—the wearer is posing the question to the viewer, who would be the one passing judgement on the wearer."Cronberg, 234.This one sweater anticipates the dynamic of Possessed—one of signals sent, received, interpreted, and potentially misunderstood. The knit dolman speaks to the desires of the wearer and the viewer, communications aimed in opposite directions, ready to get crossed and confused. Eckhaus Latta's exhibition makes apparent the twinned conditions of selfie culture and tracking where consumers wittingly self-surveil ordinary acts in the attempt to fulfill the drive to consume and the desire for attention. The craving to be followed and liked becomes its own state of possession.
