IDEO's open challenge

2010-08-26T19:51:00.000-07:00

IDEO's open challenge:
OpenIDEO is a place where people design better, together for social good. It's an online platform for creative thinkers: the veteran designer and the new guy who just signed on, the critic and the MBA, the active participant and the curious lurker. Together, this makes up the creative guts of OpenIDEO.

Culture is not always popular

2010-08-26T19:31:00.000-07:00

We believe the "Culture of Design" has become implicitly about branded culture: culture that we can see, that we can name, that we can buy and sell and package; culture that is synonymous with style; culture that resonates with novelty and which, by conjecture, dismisses history as mere nostalgia; culture that determines and drives our reactions to the constantly changing pulse of modern life.

very good history of the letterform and bibliography.... We will begin where civilisation began, meander through the Middle Ages, race through the Renaissance, and in doing so discover where our alphabet originated, how and why it evolved, and why, for example, an A looks, well, like an A.

Karl Gerstner

2010-08-02T11:17:00.000-07:00

July 2nd was Swiss designer Karl Gerstner’s 80th birthday. While Josef Müller-Brockman may enjoy status as the most well-known Swiss graphic designer, Gerstner’s impact in design and advertising places him as a pioneer in the field. His work in the 1960’s for companies like Geigy or Citroën established many of the conventions and approaches designers still use today. Read More.

Cosas Mínimas (Minimal Things)

2010-08-02T11:05:00.000-07:00

Cosas Mínimas (Minimal Things) is the personal portfolio of Madrid based illustrator and designer, Blanca Gómez. I’m in love with her illustrations. Every aspect of her style exhibits a sense of minimalism, from the simple geometric shapes, to the solid colors.

Zapf at Hallmark

2010-05-15T15:13:00.000-07:00

The Art of Hermann Zapf from Johnny Dib on Vimeo.

Those of you who have had me as a professor know my dislike of Optima but that doesn't mean I don't think Herman Zapf is great (and I love Melior)... Back in the 1960’s and 70’s Hermann did several exclusive typefaces for Hallmark Cards. As a side project, Hallmark commissioned a video of Hermann explaining the basics of calligraphy and how he worked. This short but insightful film is perfect to wet the appetite of aspiring calligraphers. read more
