The Bubble Project

The bubble project has been around for sometime. I first started seeing the work last year when I was working in Manhattan seeing them in almost every station to and from work. But, this time in the city my friend helped me see how great it can feel to take media back.
Ji Lee took his own money to get this project started and that has inspired me. Sometimes you have to take things in to your own hands to make the world the way you want it to be.

Adcenter Twins

When you are in the space station that is the Adcenter you might start becoming to close to your friends. These photos are not doctored in anyway, nor where they set up. This is not a joke... just an observation.

Let's go Running

We are going running. We are going running up the east coast over three days next week. This is in part to show Saucony how they have inspired us to just go out on the open road. We are going to document this by blog and video. http://sauconyrun2007.blogspot.com

The Real Deal

It is way cool when something you designed gets made.

Is bigger better?

Is bigger better? Some of the things that we do for Bloom is really just making it big. This truck for example is just that…bigger. A large shopping cart doesn’t really break any rules or say anything. But, it grabs peoples eye and gets them talking. So will people shop at Bloom over other stores because they seem like a store that is fun? Why do you shop were you shop?

a new year is coming...

It is really weird but I can’t wait for school to start. I really have enjoyed this summer and working for Boone Oakley I could not ask for much more. We have gotten work produced and were not treated as interns but as a creative team. But, I look back on last year with not the same dread that I would have the night before something is due. I remember the small victories and friends that I have made and miss. This is the last year were if I mess up I don’t lose my job. I look forward to what can happen in this up coming year.

I was on the radio?

I guess I was on NPR this week talking about design. Check it out.

Good Magazine

Good is people that give a damn. Good Magazine is a new publication in its second issue this month. The cover this month has John Hodgman, who most people know from the "Mac and PC" ads he plays the part of the nerd PC. I am a big fan of his work on the Daily Show as the "resident expert". His comments in the article about why what they do on the Daily Show is so funny is great. He talks about how the source of the humor is the truth. The day to day of our government is so insane that you can ether laugh or cry about it...they choose to laugh.
The magazine on a whole is very GOOD and insightful with helping you not only become a better consumer, but a better designer. When we as designers understand what the problem is we can find the better solution. Design is problem solving. I know that is cheese and said a million times, but that is the core of what we do. Now more that ever we need good design to solve the problems that we have created with short term thinking.
