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

hailing from new york, lauren has a beautifully diverse collection of images – weddings, photojournalism, portraits & special projects. we really had fun with the ‘blended imagery’ integrated into the structure of the design – done so to create emotion and immersion while offering a neutral frame to support her images. have a look and hope you enjoy.

christopher david ryan is an extremely talented portland, maine based graphic artist and illustrator. he has a series of poster (and many other wonderful illustrations) with an entertaining play on words using mac’s command key icon. they are fantastic – here, have a look – in this spirit, i’ve created my own humorous poster based of his design… i eat ‘paste’.

HA! :)
