design and happiness
Posted by timezoneone under warm fuzzy, Global
Today was such a busy day, one where everything seems to go wrong, the computer runs slow, photoshop is crashing and indesign doesn’t like me.
So busy as such that we missed the “Ronald McDonald House” wine tasting fundraiser and I couldnt really be bothered writing a blog entry for today, but its 10:30pm and im still pretty sober for a thursday so this got me all philysophical, thinking about design and happiness.
One of my favorite heros of the modern design world would have to be Stephan Sagmeister, not for his graphic style but the way he approaches design. He has given many talks on design and happiness , so this is my tribute post to him (also Dean Poole from Alt Group).
On my travels through the interweb I found a few things that are free, unique and well design/created that made me smile. Aaaaw. Like this dog made from trash on the streets of NY.
And these guys from a group called improv everywhere , check out the missions section for some great stuff that guerilla marketers will be snapping up before you know it.
Some more felluhs doing great things pixelator and abstractor.
