Inspirational Design Shorts

jeez, I just posted a blog post pointing to the site - www.thosewhomake.com and then I came across this topic! But yeah, Those Who Make features a lot of very inspiring design shorts.

I do not remember how I came across this blog, but it is a really good site about materials and processes loaded with a bunch of well done shorts.

Short interview with Hartmut Esslinger, founder of frog. So proud to have spent time with such a talented team and to have spent some time with Hartmut himself. Being a frog definitely changed me as a designer.


Clever stuff to be sure, but I’m not sure the driving public needs (or can handle) another innovation to confuse them; this time in the form of a psychedelic light show billed as a Dynamic Light Function. Most have a difficult time knowing when to use their auxiliary driving lights in a courteous manner.

Now, if pertinent safety information could be conveyed to the following motorist, I might be convinced.

Scott Wilson is superhuman

I listen carefully to Scott Wilson talks and all he said is true. He is truly amazing.
Thanks Travis for posting such talk like that.
