Inspirational Design Shorts

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.

Thanks, that was terrific. I’m already a big fan, but I was blown away by his ability to continuously identify opportunities and quickly turn around with groundbreaking product. The man must dream in design.

Definitely worth the time to watch.

I find him and his career immensely inspiring… he’s got the talent and the bollocks to do some amazing work

Travis, Scott liked your bollocks comment. Man I love twitter.

Me too! That’s really cool, thanks for sharing that Gebs… and I don’t think I even used the word ‘bollocks’ in the proper British way.

Found this today and can’t get enough of it, it’s very arty but there must be some awesome engineering behind it.

Vespa have a great history website:

They went wonderfully crazy in the 1950’s:

That was sweet!

I’m loving this. Watched it 3 times. Remember when stuff used to be cool?

I just saw that ad at the movies last night. It’s hard to explain why we do what we do, all the effort that goes into every decision we make when bringing an idea to life. Made me proud to be a designer.

I’ve fallen down a LEGO internet rabbit hole (BTTF sets announced).

The only non-LEGO part is the bit:

quite accurate considering how much slop is in LEGO gear cogs.
