Come visit me at Whitespace Collection for this exciting biennial show! It’s Friday + Saturday night (April 4 and 5) from 7:30-10:30 p.m. $10. 

Welcome back students!

Hope everyone had a great spring break! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow to finish up your Book Cover Design project. I ran across this movie recently of Stanford students designing products to better the world. Pretty Interesting. Check out the link at Extreme By Design Movie. 

The movie made me think of Objectified – a film by Gary Huswit who also produced Helvetica. If you haven’t seen these movies, they are worth the watch! Also – reminded me of the amazing Cooper Hewitt Design Museum – I love their Object of the Day idea.

Do you have any ideas for re-designing a product? Or designing a whole new product?

Speaking of cool and new products, check out Hans Fex’s Kickstarter page for his Mini Museum… I love this idea! Who doesn’t want a pocket sized collection of rare specimens? Too bad my price points are sold out! 

Just passing things along.
