another crazy show with jean paulgaultierfashion at 北美館. i like the overall feeling of the room and the sketches oh my god by paulinebinouxis lovely. i do recommend, but not to everyone as it is a "weird" show"
attended a seminar/presentation with Frog Design'sHartmutEsslinger 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. 禧冠 Esslinger 王志仁 詹偉雄
finally got to do the maze project i've been thinking about for so long. although there are still some finishing touches that needs to be added, it came out pretty cool, i'm proud. hit the link for the process:
saw a woman on the metro today carrying a tall bag with an L shaped zipper down the side and bottom, with a plant peeping out from the top. after observing for a bit i realized it's made out of an apron! the proportion and color in my drawing is all out of wack but the actual black and white checkered pattern is so cute! and the longness of it is just so awesome that i almost think the woman bought the tall plant just to show off her bag. (adding it to my eventually to do list)
