feel free to post up other joke tracks like that

yo, re: metahaven cover, LMAOOO. it's same thing again!! oh my dayz, it's illustrating my earlier point perfectly. ha.

yup spot on.

ohh word, books-a-million has Designing Design for $49

re: f. f is fucking sick.

a lot of lps in early october too...martyn, kuedo, rustie

ahhhhh can't wait for these. kuedo's sounds SO GOOD.

damn Kenya Hara's Designing Design is exxxxpensive. looks beautiful though. i'd love to check The Typographic Grid. the last part in Grid Systems when he applies 24(?) column grids to 3d spaces blew my fucking mind. i hate that i have to be reminded to think that way.

• DUM you gotta post up your Processing makings man!

• MAG fuck yes. i also have a sneaking suspicion your stuff is going to be posted on BDIF....

anyone following the new guest edited and designed Print mags?

Kokoro & Moi's created a stir here

and yesterday Metahaven's created a twitter shitstorm. exactly what we need I think. though not a huge fan of the cover I love the idea of subversion. gonna see if that's out today.

kunz's macro and microaesthetics is killer. how's formation +transformation?

my last purchase was armin hofmann's graphic design manual. it's really interesting because it's almost purely visual and very little text, and up to you to recognize and learn (or not) the patterns in the compositions that evolve throughout the book. i imagine people get lots of different things out of it or think it's crap. i snagged a used copy off ebay super cheap.

if you're into reading about design criticism I highly suggest this. written in 1994, though its somehow one of the most relevant things I've ever read.

^ that's insaane

i just imagined you designing on 2 of them like an orchestra conductor

^^ i'd just export as a JPG, 72dpi...not through Web & Devices.

^^ definitely agreed.

i sense the majority of the hate and corporate minds comes from the disconnect between traditional designer vs. ad designer, vs. design as art, even. form and context are completely overlooked in that case on Brand New....to an advertising CD i don't feel like they mean much.

^ this is speculative - i've noticed it a LOT in client work - but i feel there's a major difference in the type of relationships clients have with their studios/agencies compared to the work produced. what you're speaking of sounds like design-as-service.

service-based design where the client dictates the outcome and deliverables always seems to fall short...designers execute an idea rather than be a part of it. whereas when studios are approached almost as an artist is commissioned the results are much richer, unexpected, and new. i believe problem solving and restrictions can be achieved in any case, though.

that would be amazing

^ jaam

aaawww yeeeaaah

hehh... comments are ridiculous, most likely from fellow American designers.

can we make this Thee Thread we find thought-provoking and useful things in?

:crickets:

yeahh, weird, it is. the mastering also sounds weird in that some tracks her voice feels way closer than others

definitely an ibitha track but man, in the context of jamie xx's essential this is so nice

the new kuedo previews sound good

so deep, soo ready

I'm sure this has been asked a zillion times but for some reason I can't search, my apologizes

Can anyone recommend something that fits similar to New Cures? Samurai S003JP's?

there's an entry exam for what?
