The man who launched a million minimalist movie posters
(try not to hold that against him), graphic designer Saul Bass may have spent most of his career advertising other people’s work, but in doing so he quietly became one of the most iconic pop artists of the 20th century. He didn’t work in the movies very often, but many of the posters and title sequences he created have grown to be as famous as the films for which he created them. Directors were floored by Bass’ ability to distil a story down to its bare essence — how his thick black lines and bold swatches of colour seduced and focused a viewer’s attention where other posters would simply try to overwhelm it — and legendary auteurs like Otto Preminger would fight the studios to protect Bass’ creative freedom. His style was so striking and influential that it was widely copied in his own time, and many of the posters that are still attributed to Bass were actually created by imitators (e.g West Side Story
and It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Mary Laumua has become an activist for her community of public housing tenants in the Sydney suburb of Waterloo.
The 37-year-old community worker and mother of four, including seven-month-old baby Nayla, wants to shine a light on the struggles of public housing tenants facing large-scale redevelopment and dislocation.
It’s important because we want everyone in Australia and around the world to know that we matter,
she said.
Ms Laumua is part of a small team who have reached out to hundreds of tenants in two high-rise towers set for demolition.
They go into homes to install coloured lights in their windows.
There’s a lot of anxiety around it all, so the lights are a way of expressing how they’re feeling.
We’ve been allowed this glimpse to go into these peoples’ homes, not only to install a light, but see a glimpse of who they are and how their lives matter.
You might just be the one person that makes their day by coming [and] installing those lights
