So this is a page I found with a collection of different designs and links to the designers pages. Kinda cool.
Buro North is a design studio so its a collection of artists who work on the projects. You can
look at their recent jobs and it tells you what they were going for as well as having the images in context.Enjoy guys,
Sarah
Children's Book Creator
This is the designer I chose to share with you guys. His name is Robert Sabuda and he creates these awesome pop-up children's books. He has a partner for some of his books, including his Pre-Historic Encyclopedia series. I think it's pretty neat and would love to be able to have the skill and talent for creating books like these. Check him out!

It scrolls sideways and it is in Japanese, but their artists are still really cool.

Love the gradients. I feel like this is the real way to use them.
and I also was attracted to Satoshi Matsuzama

Eco-friendly Design
I thought that the designer from this site was pretty cool artistically, but also for the reason of their incorporation of their own personal mission to all of their work. I like how this person's career does not relegate his/her idea of what is right and wrong and they decided to work really hard in providing people with alternate solutions for printing and hosting websites in a more green way.
There is also suggestions on the site for greening your work if you are already working in the graphic design field by way of encouraging people to make little changes about the materials that they use to print.
PS: I don't remember html

In the Thorndike Collection - course relevant documentary!
Fascinating, three thumbs up .... This documentary references many of the graphic artists and issues we have discussed in this course, in addition to the Unibomber, Negativeland, the CIA and U2. Sonic Outlaws, a fragmented, gleefully anarchic documentary by Craig Baldwin, approaches this incident from several directions. Some of the film is about the legal nightmare that ensued from Negativland's little joke. In a highly publicized case, U2's label, Island Records, charged Negativland with copyright and trademark infringement for appropriating the letter U and the number 2, even though U2 had in turn borrowed its name from the Central Intelligence Agency. SST then dropped Negativland, suppressed the record and demanded that the group pay legal fees. Trying to remain solvent, Negativland sent out a barrage of letters and legal documents that are now collected in "Fair Use", an exhaustive, weirdly fascinating scrapbook about the case.
Sonic Outlaws covers some of the same territory while also expanding upon the ideas behind Negativland's guerilla recording tactics. Guerilla is indeed the word, since these and other appropriation artists see themselves as engaged in real warfare, inundated by the commercial airwaves, infuriated by the propaganda content of much of what they hear and see, these artists strike back by rearranging contexts as irreverently as possible. Their technological capabilities are awesome enough to mean no sound or image is tamper-proof today.

Design Oppertunity!
I don't know if anyone might be interested in this, but we need a cover done by the end of the month for Edge of Eden - a disc of student created media. The design is going to be very open creatively so anything goes really. The template is located here www.discmakers.com/templates
The CD template that we will be using is the 4 panel, 2 CD eco-wallet. So just pass anything you like onto me and I will send it on to Nancy with the others so she can pick one that she likes.
Thanks,
John

Powers of Persuasion
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/powers_of_persuasion/powers_of_persuasion_home.html
Some d inspiration.
There are a lot of sites that I have RSS'd that are pretty cool. I could spend hours, hours, and more hours looking at most of these sites. I apologize if you like them as much as I do (and you procrastinate even more because you are design surfing).
My favorite design site:
NOCOT This site is amazing. It updates usually about once a day and has the coolest stuff. Notcot.com has a lot of marketing and interior and exterior design. There are some amazing ads on there as well as very creative packaging. Very cool. Also, if anyone is interested in fashion design, sister site Notcouture is pretty neat. If you RSS Notcot.org you will be updated every time one of the sister sites is updated. Notcot.org just had a website featured: dyslexflix. :)
Yanko Design is a website similar to Nocot. I just recently found it. It seems as if it is focused more on design of the future.
Some good free sources: FreeVectors.net, SpoonGraphics, and ColourLovers. The first two have free designs while ColourLovers has some wonderful color harmonies for use. Pantone has also released color trend favorites for spring 2008.
Some typography sites I have flagged are: Typographica (recently they named the top typefaces of 2007) and a cool site with Kinematic Typography (this site takes famous movies and animates the dialogue--this would be a pretty cool assignment for motion graphics).
If you are ever interested in entering a graphic design competition try RSS'ing this site: graphiccompetitions.com
Cool ads: Coloribus.com-Advertising Archive
And some DIY stuff (done by other people of course): PostSecret and Etsy
Hopefully that will get some people inspired. They are pretty cool things.
Enjoy! :)
