Dammit! I was in R. Loewyâs exact pose when I clicked on this thread. Now Iâm self-consciousâŚ
This is the pose Iâm normally in:
The look of contemplation, âI am still figuring it out, not done yetâ. Not a CEO look. The look of someone that not commanding authority or expecting people to follow him. Communicating, âI am lost, but finding the wayâ.
Or maybe, âI know I forgot something, now what was itâŚâ
The inner communication âI am such a deep thinker, striking this pose will let the world know.â
In the Newson/Ive context, confidence and affectation for the purpose of subtle comedy.

Doing nothing but spreading germs I tell you!
This pink nightmare owns the âdesigners touch facesâ meme.
Interesting. Iâve always noticed I touch my face a lot, especially when thinking/contemplating/figuring out/et al. Even more so after I grew a beard a few months ago. Is this a psychological âthingâ?
(I was also doing a Loewy when i stumbled in here)
Hahaha this is the best Tumblr ever Haha. I will share it

First time Iâve heard that term before, I canât think of a more fitting name for him.
One of the older engineers here at work was giving me feedback on a project that Iâm leading, first thing he said is âget your hand off your face!â, the only problem is, how else am I supposed to look like Iâm actually thinking about what some guy whoâs derailing my meeting is saying?!

Lol. Wasnât it Steve Jobs who really made this meme big in the context of design?
I like the subtle self-mockery in Newson+Ives
Ross Lovegrove always does a good job at this too âI am the visionary, I will pave the way for the grand futureâ.
Sure itâs all related to psychology. Itâs real hard to get out of a designerâs ego sometimes And I also know that itâs most often the right hand that is raised for such poses, itâs related to confidence/power. The left hand is the hand that shy people use to cover their faces with. The hand of insecurity, submissiveness.
âintuition (n.)
mid-15c., from Late Latin intuitionem (nominative intuitio) âa looking at, consideration,â noun of action from past participle stem of Latin intueri âlook at, consider,â from in- âat, onâ (see in- (2)) + tueri âto look at, watch overâ (see tuition).â
Intuition is âlooking deeply atâ something. Sometimes your neck gets tired. I do the Loewy a lot leaning over my Cintiq. =)

From the graphic side, I thought Sagmeister was going to break the trend, but then:
Jan Van Toorn touches his face a lot:
More interaction, but Jon Kolko:
There if everyone contributes 3, we can have a coffee table book.
