Bolstered by the incredible sales of tablets (read iPad — and maybe the android… but if we’re really honest, it’s all about the iPad), the evidence is overwhelming that this is the next step for those of us who humbly call ourselves graphic designers. Understanding the in’s and out’s of digital publishing is in our best interest and will inevitably be what separates the men from the mice. http://www.ilovedesign.com/ie/blog/2011/7/8/designing-for-a-cause/ Fri, 08 Jul 2011 17:15:00 +0000 Community Designers are naturally empathetic. We need to experience empathy so that we are able to connect with our audience when creating designs and brands that survive off of the emotional connections the customers/users of whatever product experience.

Just like musicians, a vocalist without any emotion in the words they are singing sounds very monotone and boring - so too is it with design. Practicing what you preach is the best way to really support your feelings and by extension your work.

It’s like traditional publishing and the Web got together one night. With the candles lit and rose pedals spread around the room, they got a little freaky and consummated the marriage. A few months later we’re welcoming with open arms triplets — the iPad, Kindle, and Nook. http://www.ilovedesign.com/ie/blog/2010/4/29/daily-design-fix-89/ Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:11:00 +0000 Community Monster chairs, "trained to put you in very uncomfortable positions."
