These folks have some seriously funky footwear – and a bag created especially for creative professionals. Love the external cable routing.
I think Kristina will particularly appreciate the Abstract Expressionist shoes.
New website devoted entirely to trying to elminate spec work from the design industry. Given my recent tussle with AUPE over their “little” logo competition project, this seems timely.
Read on and spread the word!
Martha Stewart is about to launch yet another new magazine. Blueprint supposedly will have you “design your life.” Why do I envision a bunch of Stepford Wives with bad, blond haircuts? (My Mun always wonders why Martha, with all her money, has such bad haircuts.)
Of course, I had to write away for my free premier issue…. Like there wasn’t enough pressure before – now I’m actually going to have to design my life! I need a nap.
Remember him? Tennis player from the 70s? Recently sold off his Wimbolden trophy to raise some much needed cash?
This is his new website for his line of clothing.
All I have to say is why are there Ken dolls?
That’s not something you hear everyday…
This is some seriously twisted crochet, no pun intended. (Site is in German. That might explain a whole lot…)
My turn to rant a little. Union members were sent an email earlier this week inviting them to participate in a “contest” to “design” a new logo for the AUPE chapter. This doesn’t make me happy. Contests like this devalue the work of professional designers – inviting any Tom, Dick or Harry with a computer to create your visual identity is an insult to the profession.
I’ve sent an email voicing my dismay over this – including a snippit from the GDC website that outlines why professional designers are prohibited from entering such contests due to our code of ethics – and I’m wondering if I’ll get any response.
I mean – you wouldn’t conduct a contest to find out who has the best idea of how to do your hip replacement surgery, now would you?! Feel free to show your support by writing Shirley Maki back – she’s the one who sent out the original email on behalf of the union.
Argh!
We have Kristina to thank for this one…
This can get a little twisted – but it’s fun!
