Has been in love with his best friend for 14 years & they started a family 3 years ago with a daughter & then last year with a son.
For designer types like me, Lookwork looks like a great way to compile an online scrapbook of images and inspiration. I currently use FFFFound! but I find many of the same problems Joshua Blankenship listed on his blog like no tags & bunch of nudie distractions. I also don’t care for FFFFound’s lack of real attribution. FFFFound seems much more about getting nice images to flow through where Lookwork seems much more like a personal scrapbook like Little Snapper. I am looking forward to its launch.
While studying architecture at the Politecnico in Milan in the 1970s, Paola Antonelli was inspired by Benoit Mandelbrot’s geometric ideas and visualizations, and eventually wrote her thesis on “Fractal Architecture.” The two met for the first time last year when Antonelli invited Mandelbrot to a Seed/MoMA Salon, a monthly gathering of scientists, designers, and architects. Just before Antonelli’s new Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit opened at MoMA, they reconnected to discuss fractals, architecture, and the death of Euclid.
“
Interestingly, both design and science are trying to change their position in people’s perception. Science is trying to be perceived as more part of the real world and less lofty than before, and designers are tired of being considered decorators, because they have a much more structural roles in shaping people’s lives. They really anticipate behaviors and guide change.”
I am loving the UI experiments for the so far vapor device from Microsoft called Courier. This video makes such a device very drool-worthy as a graphic designer. I know, forget that this is a Microsoft product and that it will probably never be released in this state and this this a demo video, but what if? I’m not so much an Apple fanboy that if the Courier released in the wild was close to their user interaction videos, I would love one. This is why I was so disappointed that Apple’s iPad had no camera. Almost everything I love about the Courier videos below is software driven. A journal app on the iPad would be hot. Evernote, take notice! Supposedly it will drop in Q3/Q4. In Microsoft time, they never really tell you which year!
