Don't try to be orignal. Just try to be good

"Don't try to be original. Just try to be good. That sounds sort of naive but it's true."

Out of the box - book

"Most phones come with flimsy manuals with complicated language and jargon. These books, which can live on a bookshelf actually contain the phone.
Each page reveals the elements of the phone in the right order, helping the user to set up the sim card, the battery and even slide the case onto the phone.

The second book is the main manual – the phone actually slots into this and becomes the center of attention.
Arrows point to the exact locations the user should press, avoiding confusion and eliminating the feeling of being lost in a menu.

"Street Photography"

"I started shooting with a Nikon D90 (digital) about 1 year ago and I switched to a Leica M6 (film) on January 2010. Street Photography is something I fell in love with as soon as I saw it. Walking around streets, freezing moments forever, is something that gives me peace and confidence. It changed the way I perceive everything I see, with and without a camera in my hands."

A aposta no design, por Luís Filipe Menezes

bemadaboutdesign.com

Artigo escrito por Luís Filipe Menezes sobre a aposta no design.
Licenciado em Design Visual pelo Instituto de Artes Visuais, Design e Marketing em 2000. Tem trabalhado como designer em diversas agências e ateliers, sobretudo nas áreas do design gráfico e web design, ocasionalmente como freelancer. Actualmente exerce as funções de Design Projects Manager no atelier Zinidesign. Sócio e membro da Direcção da Associação Portuguesa de Designers.

Only portuguese.

"Em Janeiro de 2008, numa reunião com o BEDA (The Bureau of European Design Associations) Gunter Verheugen, Vice-​​Presidente da Comissão Europeia afirmou que “no que toca ao design, a Europa deverá manter a sua posição como a região mais competitiva do mundo”.

Durante 2009, Ano Europeu da Criatividade e Inovação, várias vezes foi mencionado o design como factor de impulsionamento e de diferenciação da economia europeia. Convêm assim, deitar um olhar à forma como alguns países europeus estão a interligar design e economia."

"The Secret Mission Of The Terminator"

"Leon Wang(or Guo Liang Wang), made this gem in his spare time, to keep his skills sharp after he became a production manager at a games’ company. Says Leon ‘I use both MS and Apple’ but like many of us, he has a certain buried angst against the latter! Brilliant comic timing amidst the hullaballoo about that Apple's black-ops attitude about that particular leakage. Well done, Leon."
