Problem:
Respond to office working conditions in and around the London area.Solution:
Chiswick Business Park offers its workers much greater working conditions compared to that of workers in the City of London. The response was based on the similarities between these working conditions and how free-range chickens are treated in comparison to battery chickens. Workers from Chiswick Business Park became free-range humans whilst workers in the City became battery humans -

Chandan, Sun Microsystems' "Chief Executive Prankster," must have had a little time on his hands over the holidays, since his latest prank is a pretty slick product design concept. The All in One Card (or the AIO Card, as he calls it), is a credit-card sized gadget that Chandan envisions as a thin-client device (ha, get it?) with an e-ink-like display, which could be used as a media player, web appliance, and even GPS unit. The card would be powered by solar cells, would include integrated Bluetooth and WiFi for data transfer, and could be slotted into a smart card reader to hook up to a full-size display and keyboard. While this will probably never be made (at least not while Bluetooth and WiFi still exist as we know them), it's still an interesting concept, especially since Chandan bases it around his employer Sun's Ray thin client technology, which allows a device to run over broadband without a processor or hard drive.

This is really sad. What is Mattel thinking? The company recently released its Barbie Fashion Fever Shopping Boutique Playset, which lets Barbie fans set up their own store and use a "Fashion Fever" credit card to buy Barbie clothes and accessories. However, "Once the [credit card] balance hits zero, it will reset so you can continue to shop." Say whaaaaat? That's teaching young girls that you can rack up your credit card with no consequences!

Have we reached an age where we can assume that a logo will be primarily experienced in digital space? With the increasing occurrence of digital signs and billboards, and the pervasiveness of the internet, perhaps it makes little sense to design within the constraints of antiquated printing processes and static applications.

Researchers at the Center for Future Banking, in collaboration with
Bank of America, will explore how emerging technologies and insights into human behavior can transform the customers' experience and elevate the role of the bank in their financial lives. We seek to invent new ways to anticipate the needs and desires of customers down to the level of the individual, to put every customer in total control of his or her own financial futures, to rethink the experience of customer-bank interaction as virtual and physical reality become increasingly intertwined, and finally to leverage the unique position of a bank to make people's lives simpler and more fulfilling. -

Life is full of temptations. (According to the rundown of my annual credit card spending, "merchandise/retail" is my temptress.) You can stay strong, grasshopper, with nothing more than a few envelopes and a ball-point pen. -

In his 2004 book The Paradox of Choice , Barry Schwartz tackles one of the great mysteries of modern life: Why is it that societies of great abundance — where individuals are offered more freedom and choice (personal, professional, material) than ever before — are now witnessing a near-epidemic of depression? Conventional wisdom tells us that greater choice is for the greater good, but Schwartz argues the opposite: He makes a compelling case that the abundance of choice in today’s western world is actually making us miserable.

The globalisation of the type market and rising interest in multi-lingual typeface design is a source of great optimism among many typographers. Yet despite the proliferation of these beautiful new typefaces, many still do not support some European languages, let alone cater for African and Asian languages. In fact, contrary to the claims of advertisements, the offering is, in respect to language support, quite limited.

Almost everyone that owns a computer system has a printer. Mention the words laserjet, inkjet or even dot matrix and people will understand the reference. The most common usage of these devices is rather dull: to print documents and photographs. But did you know that there are many other unusual applications of printing technology in the production of solar panels, concrete walls and even something as mundane as toasting bread? Here are 8 printers that make your office printer look lame, even if they do use the same technology!
