Logo Trends, 2009 http://www.createconsume.com/items/view/1277/logo-trends-2009

the use of type and text is clearly more critical. Words carry a more concise message. They convey specific rather than generic information.

when you are doing something in a recurring way to diminish risk or doing it in the same way as you have done it before, it is clear why professionalism is not enough. After all, what is required in our field, more than anything else, is the continuous transgression.

Ad-hoc soluntions to systemic problems do not scale http://www.createconsume.com/items/view/826/ad-hoc-soluntions-to-systemic-problems-do-not-scale

running commercials encouraging people to turn their thermostats down isn't going to make any difference at all. If the planet needs saving, we're going to need a concerted effort to find a systematic solution to a systemic problem

The James Bond Collection - Penguini http://www.createconsume.com/items/view/763/the-james-bond-collection-penguini

They are iconic bond girls, distillations of all that I think is hip and sexy about the whole deal. None of them are based on any one person or image, they are archetypes. I wanted a look of seductive murder about them.

The site highlight colours are artifacts of the last artwork viewed on the site. With Pentagram / Happy Cog / Adaptive Path on the case, it's impressive.

Meet Levi, the Leviathan http://www.createconsume.com/items/view/614/meet-levi-the-leviathan

Just as the Blue Whale chows down on 250,000 pounds of tiny krill a year, so Squared Eye thrives on the little nuances that change a simple interaction into an experience, and a regular user into a believer.

Elizabeth Gilbert's insightful TED talk on creative genius and the muse http://www.createconsume.com/items/view/563/elizabeth-gilberts-insightful-ted-talk-on-creative-genius-and-the-muse

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius.

The Sartorialist http://www.createconsume.com/items/view/493/the-sartorialist

When I worked in the fashion industry (15 years), I always felt that there was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life.

Reviving the medium of the Radio drama http://www.createconsume.com/items/view/456/reviving-the-medium-of-the-radio-drama

Nobody asked to see the first 30 pages, or a synopsis, or asked me what its content or treatment would be. That kind of freedom cannot fail to instill the utmost zealousness in one's work.
