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.
