i’ve seen this book around and feared it was being over “pushed”. that generally means it’s either really good or really bad… in this case – really good! i have folded corners and marked up a few dozen entries and i’m only half way through the book. here are some of my favorites…

“you want to invent new ideas, not new rules.”

“a designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when’s there is nothing left to take away.”

“the more we reduce the amount of information in an idea,
the stickier it will be.”

title… made to stick: why some ideas die and others die
authors… chip heath & dan heath

i really enjoyed this talk! this talk is a strong advocate for designs roll in transforming and evolving business. i find myself sharing a lot of the same thoughts in regards to  determination and the designers “ability to effect” as is shown by polish designer jacek utko. (jacek utko: can design save the newspaper?) view the talk

design + airstream + challenge = another great presentation! (christopher c. deam: restyling the classic airstream trailer) view the talk

another entertaining talk (david carson: design, discovery and humor)

and great minds do think alike. i was watching these movies last night as i was rendering video for a new site that’s about to launch and this morning, i get an email from hollye featuring a “summary of amazing TED quotes (day 2)” – she’s not even in town right now!

this one was my favorite… “The creative process does not behave rationally – it seems at times to be paranormal.” – Elisabeth Gilbert

view the rest of the quotes (thanks hollye)
