Four Essential Members of a Great Design Team by Michael Roller
“Have you ever wondered why you can successfully collaborate with another designer in your office? At Kaleidoscope, some of the designers (including me) are organized and analytical. Others think freely and contextually. How can we coexist?”
We can, work it out!
Etapes interview with Aaron Koblin, who “is an an artist specializing in data visualization. His work takes social and infrastructural data and uses it to examine cultural trends and emergent patterns. He currently works in the technology department at Google.”
Watch his Flight Patterns video and final rendering.
The fastest Firefox yet! “Things move quickly online, and we’ve beefed up the engine that runs Firefox to make sure you can keep up: Firefox 3.5 is more than twice as fast as Firefox 3, and ten times as fast as Firefox 2.”
Upgrade now! ND luvs Firefox!
Justin Cooper from Society6 (making things good, by making good things) announces that Clemens Behr receives IDA Emerging Designer Award.
“Barcelona based Clemens Behr aka Everthing and me says garbage bags and cardboxes are cheap, beautiful, offer a lot of space, are always available, quickly to process, work without electricity and are actually meant for other purposes.”
Dig everything up! It’s worth it.
Design is too important to be left to the thinkers by Robert Brunner.
“Recently, at a conference reception (think wine and cubes of cheese), a well-known and influential member of the academic community said to me: Design strategy is far too important to be left to designers. What a pile of crap, I think..
.. great design is more than an object: It is an idea. An idea that permeates everything.”

Previously on Twitter: “U found something interesting that you put on your blog? Cite your source(s) with a link back”.
Why? To nudge people who get inspired by content from influential blogs/portals/individuals to show where their inspiration comes from, if they republish it in some form or another.
It would be unthinkable to dare publish a scientific paper without any references. Without these, no credibility in the community. Should same ethics apply to us?
So what do you make of these? Copy theft or inspiration?

To a NEW designer (an open letter)
You are fresh, you are out, you are entering the field, you are charged, you are ready to storm the industry and imprint your mark with your wits and talent! Great! I would like to share some thinking paths to munch over and pitfalls to avoid so you can successfully make it happen and avoid common mistakes befalling inexperienced designers.
Why is that?
We all were newbies.
There will always be newbies.
We all need to be newbies.
