• 05.14.08 Chinese Calligraphy: Master Yue Le
  
  "In previous post in which I discussed chinese calligraphy, I talked a little bit about chinese calligraphy's history, and my impressions of its influence in contemporary chinese design. Since a lot of people have been asking me for more on the topic, I've decided to post on YouTube some videos of a trip my wife, a couple of friends and I did to Zhu Jia Jiao, one of the many river towns just outside Shanghai. In Zhu Jia Jiao, we've met Master Yue Le, a local artist that makes his living on creating banners/posters for tourist that visit that town: with our little domain of Mandarin, we've asked him to create some banners to represent something he would consider typical..."  read on

• 03.20.08 “The Design Eco-System”: Bill Buxton’s Keynote at IxDA | Interaction ‘08 Conference
  
  "Bill Buxton, in his keynote during for the opening of IxDA | Interaction ‘08 Conference, asks us: "How Can We Design Great Products if we don’t First Design our Environment?" Great ideas are not enough. In many ways, they are the easy part of design. The hard part is seeing those great ideas through to reality. But the weight of that hard part can be significantly lightened if one has the right tools, the right team, and is working in the right physical and cultural space. While this sounds obvious – banal even, the reality is that in the technology sector, the eco-system in which much design takes place is not conducive to the task. Designers are generally significantly out-numbered by technical staff. Unless proper attention is paid to details, the resulting physical and cultural eco-system will be determined by those with the larger numbers..."  read on

  "In the absence of effective post-industrial age management tools, people plead for speed and innovation, but what they really want is quality. It's up to us, the interaction designers, to lead the way out of the chaotic world of misdirected, misdesigned, and mismanaged products to a world where high quality and high tech go hand in hand. In his keynote at IxDA | Interaction '08 Conference, Alan Cooper issues a manifesto for revolution, showing us how to take control of an industry careening crazily into confusion, and restore visibility and manageability, along with higher revenue and profit margins, by starting an insurgency of quality..."  read on
