Struggling with the next editorial. Original idea just didn't pan out and time is running out. Open to suggestions or could just do a Q&A style editorial where the Q's come from here. Those can be fun sometimes. Suggest or ask away. :)

Anyone know where I can find a high res version of this old United Technologies ad? An 80s-era manager at work has an ancient beat up copy of this on his wall and references it nonstop. I wanted to try to get him a nice framed print of it for Xmas.
