I had meant to post about this yesterday, but didn’t get to it before getting sucked back into the Miami Project. Those who read my personal journal already know this, but this week’s episode of South Park featured an appearance by Jay Maynard, The Tron Guy.
This capped off a day which was already surreal [...]
I took the weekend off from writing, largely figuring with the holidays and all, no one was really online anyway except me. But I didn’t take the weekend off from working. In fact I got a lot done on the Miami house project, which is starting to congeal.
Yes, I said congeal. I find [...]
I wish I knew how to credit these images Stacy tells me they have come from Shanghai, China (see comments for the whole song and dance), but they came to me in an email forward that had been forwarded a zillion times already. Though they basically speak for themselves, the concept I [...]
So I’ve been working on this idea for some furniture lately. I know a lot of people get their ideas through sketching. Sometimes I do that, but a lot of the time I do it with photography, because I am more comfortable with my abilities with a camera than with a pen most [...]
No, this is not self-referencing.
It’s not a secret that suburban living isn’t something in which I take an interest. I leave that to people eminently more qualified (and who like it a LOT more than me.) People start talking about housing developments and McMansions and whatever and my eyes glaze over. It’s like that bit [...]
Though there’s plenty of things I see in the design world every day that I don’t like, there’s also things I really *do* like. Dezeen serves up the goods today by bringing this, by Serie Architects.
Whooboy, that’s nice.
More photos are available at Dezeen and the Serie site itself. Though I’d have chosen a [...]
So I was saying, before I was interrupted by all the peeing yesterday, that there were two groups of people in design school who consistently made us all look like chumps. One group was the toy designers. The other group were the packaging designers. Because if good packaging design didn’t matter, and [...]
I went to a multi-disciplinary design school, so I got to see a lot of different kinds of design at work. Some things I thought were interesting, some things I’ll just never care about, but there were two kinds of designers that consistently made everyone look like chumps. One group I’ll talk about [...]
This is way cooler than anything I was likely to talk about today.
Need more convincing?
One of the things I love most about designing restaurants and retail spaces is that they have a life span. They can be conceptual, because they’re impermanent. Five years from now(if not sooner), they’ll be redesigned into something new and [...]
