Life imitating thought

I’ve been chatting to my friends about a theory of ideas. The essence is that ideas shouldn’t be horded, but rather they should be set free so that more (and better) ideas fill the gaps that the others were taking up. For the last year or two I’ve been noting the ideas for projects/designs/other random thoughts in my iPod Touch, in the always handy Notes app. Handy until yesterday it crapped itself and deleted everything. So there we go, 50+ ideas that were waiting to be realised (on that infamous rainy day) vanished in a flash. I am pretty disappointed in myself for not acting sooner to
(a) back them up
(b) complete them
but excited to see if my idea is actually true and the ideas waiting in the wings come into fruition in the new year.

Zooom.

Come on in.

It’s always interesting doing some tiding up. Sometimes you’ll find a thing you had totally forgotten about. Like this drawing. Completely skipped my mind. Never finished, but now not forgotten.

The future of (interactive) magazines

Sports Illustrated has some very interesting ideas for the future of a magazine. I’ve been following/learning the development of interactivity of the pdf format (via inDesign and Acrobat) but this it something else. (watch at fullscreen for the real deal).

Junos represents

Back in the motherland the whirlwind that was the 2009 B2B awards is settling down. It’s nice to see that Junos, a project that I branded last year while with Base One, has just won an award. Well done chaps.

Books come to life
