Monitoring monitor emissions

Article Abstract:

Biological and medical research indicates that emission of low-frequency and very-low frequency electromagnetic radiation by display terminals and computer monitors can be harmful to humans. These emissions result from the splitting of the electrical current into the various frequencies needed to form images on the screen. They discharge from all sides of the monitor and create an electromagnetic field around the unit that can increase rates of miscarriage and fetal abnormalities among pregnant women and of leukemia and brain tumors among all heavy users of video display terminals. Standards are not officially in place, but those laid out by Sweden's National Board for Measurement and Testing are becoming the de facto standards. Monitor manufacturers at least partially incorporate the Swedish standards for radiation emission, screen flicker and image clarity into their products.

Grand Makeover: What's in store for Bonnie Hubbard?; three designers give grocery packaging a new look

Article Abstract:

Fleming Companies of Oklahoma City, the biggest wholesale food distributor in the United States, is looking to change its consistent but dated packaging label, the wraparound bow, to something that communicates top quality for less money. Publish! magazine asked three package designers to take on the task: Michael McGrath Design of Richardson, TX; DuPuis Design of Agoura Hills, CA; and Marianne Rosner Klimchuk of New York City. The designers redesigned the Bonnie Hubbard logo and three packages on which it appears: a tea-bag box, a roll of paper towels and a peanut butter jar. The designs are shown and discussed.
