How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer

by Debbie Millman

so i just ran across this via a banner on imeem’s home page. seemed like a cool concpet, city music. then they throw a shirt randomely in the mix, so inconspiculously yelling BUY BUY BUY. this is just wrong. if you want to tell me a story, i’ll listen to a great, mysterious, intriguing story, but switch and bait.

a better example of having a legit retail business, no shame about it, and then telling the stories that emerge naturally from the people that are the company, customers, and community…. nau.com

Brittany and I watched this video last night, and were pretty amazed. The video in the link is actually an  hour long, and it’s worth every minute. Enjoy.

and here is an opportunity for the next two weeks, buy a laptop, in my opinion the most innovative laptop / computer / tool ever!!, and you give a laptop (and so much more) to a child overseas.

wow. i don’t think gadgets / generosity / innovation have ever mixed so beautifully. I want to do this, but i don’t need a laptop. maybe i’ll just give both.

my oh my. check the site.  the laptop would actually do most everything the average person needs.  and see if you want one.
