The best pitch ever! Frank Chimero a designer I admire, has used Kickstarter to pitch for an upcoming book he wanted to write. Watch the movie and learn. Firstly, finding a creative way to get the message across – read the brief. Secondly, engaging emotionally the viewer – watch the video. Thirdly? Succeeding!
He was asking for 25k and he received a staggering 112,159$!!!
Can’t wait to read The Shape of Design.

Céline – Au-delà des Images by Laurent Cayla.
A tale of spectacular recovery from addiction.
Last night we attended the launch of Laurent’s book. Laurent is a long long long time friend of JF (they both attended Le Collège Français) and kept in touch through the years. We wouldn’t have missed this event for the world. A true celebration of his new chance at life.
In fact who is he? For close to 10 yrs, he was Céline Dion official / personal photographer. While leading the high-life, he descended in hell through addiction to drugs and alcohol. This book (fully endorsed by Céline and René) is a testament to the most important quality: LOVE! Portion of sales will go to her Foundation.
The book includes 600 mostly unpublished pictures.
Brilliantly written by Diane Massicotte.

nota: Book available in French for now. Hopefully in the near future it gets translated in other languages.

‘Oh My God What Happened and What Should I Do?’ by Leif Abraham and Christian Behrendt aka Innovative Thunder.
“This book is for everyone who wants to move into the digital era of awesomeness. We’re currently experiencing a time of change – a change during which a whole generation is evolving; this generation is growing up with an entirely new media behavior. It can’t imagine a world without new media.”
Got it free for a tweet!
