meet the innovator yes!

attended a seminar/presentation with Frog Design's Hartmut Esslinger and 3 other (local)big shots, the presentation was great (i love color blocks and lots of pictures), but i feel bad for the other people who had to sit through the mediocre translation. 詹偉雄 goes on about steve jobs the god, and how we should all live beautiful lives by using beautiful products (as prescribed by his elitist columns). 禧冠 was witty and more pragmatic which i appreciated. it seems like all the discussions about design in taiwan is how awful cost-down solutions are and how the taiwanese design world will be so much better if we just let that go, break open our checkbooks and really deliver perfection without compromise. but i mean, it's never going to happen here, it's just not us, because we want cheap and fast money so we make cheap and awkward products. i donno, i'm very cynical.
