Uncommon Envelope: June 2009
http://www.uncommonenvelope.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Daily Paper: Cardboard Designs. Pop into your local modern museum shop and you are sure to find a Cardboard Design. Liquid Cardboard Vase. Now, once you eye it, go pick it up and play with it. I guarantee you will buy one on the spot and never use this thing for what it was intended (the holding of flowers or some such things). This, my friends, is the slinky for today's design nut. It's going on my Christmas wish list. Links to this post. Monday, June 29, 2009. Fan and you would ...

stage3design: Limitations . . . what good are they?
http://stage3design.blogspot.com/2008/05/limitations-what-good-are-they.html
Limitations . . . what good are they? Aimee recently spoke at the 2008 Art Center Design Conference in Pasadena, CA. The conference "is a three-day international gathering of entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and innovators from many fields and disciplines" that explored "the essential role of play in business, the arts, science, storytelling, technology, and more." Aimee gave an incredible speech about the power we have to tap into our differences:. The idea of being different. View my complete profile.

http://stage3design.blogspot.com/2008/06/thinking-outside-ourselves.html
Thinking outside ourselves . . . Or doing small things that have big impact (such as the So-Cal Fire Poster Project. One exciting thing about the article itself is the author's call to action for the design community as a whole. This part caught my attention in particular:. Christopher Simmons, “For Goodness’ Sake,” HOW magazine, August 2008. The rest of the article is just as good. Find it on a magazine rack near you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

stage3design: The art of type . . .
http://stage3design.blogspot.com/2008/05/art-of-type.html
The art of type . . . There have been some incredible examples recently of designers using type to create pieces of art. The most notable of these is Veer's Type City prints. Each print is a little masterpiece in itself. "Each portrays an urban facet, illustrated character by character with a typeface that evokes the image itself." Fabulous—and mind-blowing at the same time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The book design review. The design works group.

stage3design: What happens in the silos . . .
http://stage3design.blogspot.com/2008/05/what-happens-in-silos.html
What happens in the silos . . . Growing up an Air Force kid wasn't always easy. Granted, there were some perks: seeing fighter planes up close, watching giant missiles take off, and touring the Space Shuttle facilities. But those perks didn't come often enough or last long enough to outweigh the downside of Air Force life: moving. So I was quite excited today to come across a post at Design Observer about a subject my dad may know a little something about: blast-door art. May 14, 2008 at 9:46 PM.

stage3design: February 2008
http://stage3design.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Everyone once in a while, I find myself engrossed in a book that I just can't put down. You know that feeling, the one that won't let you the put down—no matter how late into the night it gets. Is one of those books. It's a riveting, fast-paced novel that had me from the beginning and kept me reading because I just had to know how it was going to turn out. Take a look at this back cover copy:. A small group of survivors, stranded in a deserted city. A mysterious boy who may hold the key. I wanted to show...

stage3design: Out with the old, in with the new . . .
http://stage3design.blogspot.com/2008/04/fresh-look.html
Out with the old, in with the new . . . When a new designer brings a fresh eye to an old project, the results can be amazing. For instance, take a look at these cover ideas from Nicole Peterson. For Dante's Divine Comedy. They're simple, but so effective in explaining the main idea of each title. Nicole is a recent graphic design graduate from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston and has this to say about her designs:. You can find more of Nicole's work on her flickr set.
