Can design stop a war? I’m not sure but it certainly raises awareness, gets people talking, connecting and having the experience of compassion and even love for their fellow human beings independent of race or creed. This is the kind of thing that makes me proud to be a designer. Design should make people feel, and hopefully what they’re feeling resonates out, extends to others and is a small step toward making humanity more joyful.

Design for skin, walls, whatever!

I’d seen something similar to this a few years ago but it was probably just a conceptual demo. What are the ramifications of having to design a ui for a projection device such as this? You’d need to define some design boundaries to make sure whatever is being created is usable on a host of different surfaces. Looks like it will be fun though.

Great attention to email detail

Yesterday I received an email from Panic, a Mac software developer and was so impressed by the attention to detail that I wanted to write a post about it. Turns out that the folks over at CampaignMonitor.com did just that so here it is.
Panic has always impressed with their clean and functional design, and they just took it to the next level with Transmit 4 (the ftp application) and this latest email campaign announcing the software upgrade.

A billion dollars spent and no one asked the client what they wanted!

CBS 60 Minutes reported this story about Boeing building a security surveillance system along the US and Mexican border, sounds like a total fiasco, partly because Boeing didn’t ask the border control what they needed.
“I’m just kind of amazed that they’re building this, what’s gonna be a multi-billion dollar system for the Border Patrol, and nobody asked the Border Patrol. What… they needed or wanted, or what would be helpful,”
Crazy.. I cannot imagine building a website or designing a brochure without checking in with the client – duh! Isn’t that like one of the most basic ideas of providing a service?
