A Curated Collection of Thought on Design
Design Thinking
Tim Brown, the CEO of IDEO, has an entire blog dedicated to design thinking, an idea to which I have been giving some thought recently. According to Tim, “Design thinking can be described as a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.” This is similar to a FAST COMPANY article, that says, “The methodology commonly referred to as design thinking is a proven and repeatable problem-solving protocol that any business or profession can employ to achieve extraordinary results.”
Typographic Posters
Don’t be fooled by the witty URL. Typographic Posters delivers two thing, posters and typography. A great repository of all things poster, this web site is instant inspiration. Link courtesy of Raymond Forbes.
MAXIME DELPORTE
Maxime Delporte is a graphic designer from Brussels, who produces some absolutely astounding pieces.
Honey & Bloom
It’s a cold, rainy and frightful day in Atlanta, but the work of Honey & Bloom is a ray of hope. Direct from SF, Becky Hui Chan produces some astoundingly simple and beautiful pieces, which bring a smile to the face. If design had a spring, you’d find it at Honey & Bloom.
Font Fabric
Finally, a font shop that offers those wicked geometric fonts that all the kids have been talking about. And no, you should not resist the urge to download QUAD and Cube, which are free. Font Fabric is definitely worth a type-related bookmark.
