WOLDA the worldwide logo design annual has announced the ’09 winners and launched the new edition 2010 which will allow every participant to be a judge!
(Design) Industry Insights comments and conversations on the business of design in U.K 2010 published by the Design Council. Now I’m seriously beginning to think that baby pink is the new blue and that funky information design is the next-new trend in publishing.
Worth reading (no matter where you’re located on the globe).

Ten principles of good design by Dieter Rams
“Back in the early 1980s, Dieter Rams was becoming increasingly concerned by the state of the world around him – “an impenetrable confusion of forms, colours and noises.” Aware that he was a significant contributor to that world, he asked himself an important question: is my design good design?
Good design is: innovative, useful, aesthetic, understandable, unobtrusive, honest, long-lasting, thorough down to the last detail, environmentally-friendly, as little design as possible.”
Enough to tinker with – so we do good design.

LOVE your neighbors! This is exactly what two Dutch painters have undertaken and done. What do you think of Favela Painting in the heart of Rio de Janeiro? Really – really – really beautiful visually. Wow what color and design (passion and heart) can do to the most dire of places.
Something I wish could be emulated the world around.
Greeting you on top of buildings, outside shops with a fist raised to the sky and in restaurant windows staring unblinkingly, the Japanese mascot is almost unavoidable. Idle Idol: The Japanese Mascot collects these wonderful characters.
Book initiative and written and photographed by What What which is made up of twins John and Edward Harrison.
Post-FIRE (exhibit) day. If you want to see some snapshots check the album. Showing Fabesko (a totally awesome Parisian artist) who created her version of Captain America holding on to the PILLS artwork. It was a hit at first sight!
It so happens that they are almost exactly in the same color hues. Something huh?
