since '98

Reject normal

Kelli personally sends in a news. Unassuming and oh so very humble – she didn’t ask for anything.. just that I look. Was quite busy then. Told her I would get back to her.. till now.

16 silly-happy-jaw-dropping-inspiring minutes. Ever.

I certainly don’t say this lightly.

_______

Her website is another jaw-dropping concept using Google map.

_______

First featured her awesome Paper Record Player project.

And the pretty cool Tiny colorful buildings she draws.

She gave this talk at TEDxPhoenix 11.11.11 TEDxTalk.

Disruptive Wonder for a Change by Kelli Anderson

She believes that the world is full of order that doesn’t necessarily deserve our respect.. inspires us to change the world around us by rejecting normal order, messing things up, and causing millions of teeny-tiny disruptions to whatever is sitting in front of you.

Read more about it on her blog.

YOU GOTTA SEE THIS.

Spend your best 16 min ever.

Design is?

Design is not just what it looks like or feels like. Design is how it works. Something to think about.

Why a start-up?

Log / Transition by Keenan Cummings.

I am was an agency-trained, senior-level, print/branding designer & I want to left to work at a start up. Here’s why:

1) I want my work to feel valuable.

2) I want to stop talking about good work and start making good work.

3) I want other people to find value in my work.

4) I want my mom to understand what I spend my time doing.

5) I want to design with empathy, and that means being close to the ground.

6) I want my stamp on the things I make.

He has since moved into a position as the Creative Director / Co-Founder of Wander.

3 Rs of Creativity

The Three Rs of Modern Creativity by Iain Tait

I’ve been thinking about what it takes to be a good creative in a modern agency. And it just so happened that 3 things that kept resurfacing began with an R. So here are my Three Rs for creatives:

1 – Resilience – Don’t give up!

2 – Restraint – Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

3 – Respect – You can’t do this stuff on your own.

Generation Flux

This Is Generation Flux: Meet The Pioneers Of The New (And Chaotic) Frontier Of Business by Robert Safian

Any business that ignores these transformations does so at its own peril. <- Said that back in ’95 about the www.

There is one certainty, however. The next decade or two will be defined more by fluidity than by any new, settled paradigm; if there is a pattern to all this, it is that there is no pattern.

The most valuable insight is that we are, in a critical sense, in a time of chaos. <- gotta love this one – our band name is After Chaos.

Because some people will thrive. They are the members of Generation Flux <- oh finally belonging somewhere – I’m a GenFluxer.
