sign language

This carpark in Melbourne Austrailia has taken an interesting
approach to their wayfinding signage. Upon certain angles,
the graphics are perfectly legible and in others, ah not so much.
Accident inducing or good idea?

book arts

Japanese designer Katsumi Komagata started making children's books

in 1994 when he became a father. These incredible books beautifully

tell stories through die cuts and color combinations on each page.

The most interesting concept is I'm Gonna Be Born which

describes birth from a baby's perspective. Komagata also has a series

of tactile books for the visually impared and another of die cut cards for

children to interact with their parents. They are all almost too pretty

to put in a kid's hands. Learn more here.

Brazillian artist Iran do Espirito Santo's "En Passant"

is a comment on art shows (read more here) but what

caught my eye was that it looks like the gradient we

use, a lot, in Illustrator. I suggest you read the artist's

actual intent...it's much smarter.

office of campus life

The New York Times had an interesting article in the Sunday

Magazine this past weekend about the corporate campuses

of yore. There is also a collection of wonderful images of IBM,

Bell Labs, and Pespsi-Co. Both IBM and Bell capuses are for

sale and could possibly be torn down.

The article is called 'The Office as Architectural Touchstone'.

We're all suckers for good looking things and that's one of the

many reasons why Apple products are so appealing. Take a look

at this very interesting article sighting Apple's (specifically designer

Jonathan Ive) design inspiration from a past industrial designer: Dieter

Rams. Rams was head of design at Braun earlier last century and was

a huge influence to designers like Ive and even Jasper Morrisson.
