Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Khoi Vihn, the respected leader of the NY Times’ interactive efforts, is engaged in a Q and A on the Times Media and Advertising section, so get over there and inquire. You have until the 25th to do so.
And in case you’ve missed it, check out his excellent blog, Subtraction, as well.
Design and the Elastic Mind
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008On display at MOMA (New York), Design and the Elastic Mind “explores the reciprocal relationship between science and design in the contemporary world by bringing together design objects and concepts that marry the most advanced scientific research with attentive consideration of human limitations, habits, and aspirations.”
“The exhibition highlights designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history—changes that demand or reflect major adjustments in human behavior—and translate them into objects that people can actually understand and use.” The Web site “presents over three hundred of these works, including fifty projects that are not featured in the gallery exhibition.”
Highly recommended for anyone interested in design and especially, information design.
The Annual Report, Personalized
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Nicolas Felton is an ace designer/info-graphicist who makes it an annual rite of passage to create a highly-stylized report of his life. It’s a fascinating way of viewing what would otherwise be very ordinary stats and information. You know. Things like taking a cab or seeing a movie.
Mr. Felton (aka “Feltron”) also happens to design stunning visuals for envelope-shoving publications like Wired, Print and New York Magazine. In addition to checking out the Annual Report fun, go poke around his site, Megafone, and be inspired.
