5 FROM 86.

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

I found this fantastic talk from Michael Bierut of Pentagram, recently speaking at the 99% conference in New York. He talks extremely engagingly about the 5 ‘secrets’ he’s gleaned from the 86 notebooks he has compiled since 1982. Apart from a lovely insight into the designers’ thought process (as well as an interesting take on how he sees himself as a creative) he shows how the simplest of design ideas can translate across numerous executions, as well as transcend their original constraints (especially the final example). It’s an inspiring, and breezy 19 minutes. Take a look.

This video has been doing the rounds on Twitter this morning. A snippet taken from the 99% conference This is Scott Thomas, Design Director of New Media for Obama for America talking about his experiences designing the Obama online campaign. I would love to have seen the whole talk, it sounds fascinating and re-inforces some of my current thoughts on co-creation. Take a gander!
