The mile high shower, try it on the Airbus A380

Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 21 November, 2008 to the comment subset

We looked at the cockpit the other week, now check out the rest of the Airbus A380, and glimpse the future of business and luxury air travel. Is it just me, and my obviously one-track mind, but isn't a shower on an aircraft asking for trouble somewhat? Via Coudal Partners.

The art of the movie poster

Posted by John Lampard on Monday, 17 November, 2008 to the design and art subset

Great collection of movie posters at Coffee and Celluloid. Movie posters are the main visual representation you have to get someone to see your movie. Most are safe. Some, however, push beyond a simple advertisement to a work of art.

Okayboss and the job interview

Posted by John Lampard on Monday, 17 November, 2008 to the design and art subset

Sydney based illustrator Jimbo aka Okayboss talks about his work at Australian Edge, and where he finds his very down to Earth inspiration: I've never had anything profound to say or make, so most of my inspiration comes from just trying to fill in moments of boredom with little pictures.

Is Graphic Design Art? No…

Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 14 November, 2008 to the comment subset

I linked to a poll yesterday asking is graphic design art, yes or no? As of the time I voted (no, btw, based on the strict interpretation of what graphic design is), about 60 per cent of respondents had answered yes. Given I didn't think there could really be a straight yes or no answer, despite my "strict interpretation", plus there being no avenue to discuss the poll, ... Read full entry

The question that could inspire a 1000 blog posts…

Posted by John Lampard on Thursday, 13 November, 2008 to the design and art subset

Is Graphic Design Art? A yes or no is required. Seriously I think the answer is "it depends". Wishy-washy, sit on the fence, I know, but I don't think all graphic design is art.

Excuse me, can you direct me to the design department?

Posted by John Lampard on Wednesday, 12 November, 2008 to the comment subset

How about this, the opportunity to spend the day with NASA's design department, if you can find it that is... The thing is, NASA doesn't actually have an industrial design department. They don't even have a design department. Not technically, anyway.

Caught with their pants down, websites in underwear

Posted by John Lampard on Monday, 10 November, 2008 to the comment subset

Don't end up on this list, check your website straight away. Jeffrey Zeldman's latest project aims to name and shame websites whose designers don't take time to properly check that their background colour settings are in synch. It's astounding how many web designers forget to specify a background color on their site. They'll spend months iterating wireframes and design comps; write CSS hacks for browsers predating this century; test ... Read full entry

Wallpaper 2.0

Posted by John Lampard on Monday, 10 November, 2008 to the design and art subset

Following on from the updated chandeliers, WebUrbanist presents a selection of throughly modern, and even interactive, wallpapers. Wallpaper (at-home, not on-screen) isn't what it used to be, but we bet you never thought it could look THIS good! New ideas and revolutionary techniques have allowed artists and designers to bring two-dimensional surfaces to life.
