Design Observed

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

I snap off pictures of with my [touch-screen phone] when I’m walking around and I never do anything with them. So here’s a few recent things that caught my eye. What do you have in your phone?

Kate and I were walking through Potrero the other day and saw this on the underside of a condo. They must use some cool instrument that can see into the concrete and the diagram is awesome (even if coincidentally so).

DIY design, 8 year-old style. Seems effective from my limited observation.

This page just called out to me. How did it end up in a puddle at [large brick-and-mortar electronics retailer]? What the hell is it about?

Why it’s sometimes better to give people less options

Not exactly design-related in any way, but I wasn’t the only one who was stopping to take a picture of this sunset.

What’s in your phone? Make a post if you’re a contributor or send it to me.

Procrastination

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Story, animation and direction by Johnny Kelly. Voice Over by Bryan Quinn.

Went to the SF Shorts last night, and saw this film, twice. It certainly was memorable. The general consensus among the small group of designers was “AWESOME” with the exception of the ending…

See whatcha think!
