Thank you.

Sorry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:04:00 +0000

I must apologize for the lack of posts in the past weeks... my school works and my job don´t leave me enough time to keep this blog up-to-date.
My postings will be more sporadic for some time but I'm still here :)... you can follow me through my Tumblr (rosamaria.tumblr.com) where I quickly save some of the images and links which I find most interesting and related to arts and design.

Good design in ten commandments

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:54:00 +0000

How to measure good design?
"As good design cannot be measured in a finite way Dieter Rams set about expressing the ten most important criteria for what he considered was good design. Subsequently they have become known as the ‘Ten commandments’. Here they are:"

- Good design is innovative;
- Good design makes a product useful;
- Good design is aesthetic;
- Good design helps a product to be understood;
- Good design is unobtrusive;
- Good design is honest;
- Good design is durable;
- Good design is thorough to the last detail;
- Good design is concerned with the environment;
- Good design is as little design as possible.

Ettore Sottsass: When I Was a Very Small Boy

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:40:00 +0000

"Everything we did was entirely absorbed in the act of doing it, in wanting to do it, and everything we did stayed ultimately inside a single extraordinary sphere of life. The design was life itself, it was the day from dawn till dusk, it was the waiting during the night..."

"When I was a Very Small Boy" ("Quando ero Piccolissimo") was written in 1973 by Ettore Sottsass and published in Terrazzo, Number 5, Fall 1990. Perhaps best known for designing Olivetti's iconic red plastic typewriter, Ettore Sottsass was born in Innsbruck, Austria, and grew up in Milan. An Italian architect and designer of the late 20th century, he was a leading member of the Memphis Group, which revolutionized product design in the 1980s.

Oberlin College Digital Collections

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:51:00 +0000

While doing a research for a school project, I stumbled upon a wonderful resource - the Oberlin College Digital Collections - a digital collection of... art. Thousands of images are displayed, some of them with none or only a few lines of information, but enough to be delighted...
I picked the images above within the artist's book collection. The first on the top by Julie Chen named "Personal paradigms [kit]: a game of human experience", the one in the middle "Double game" by Sophie Calle (with the participation of Paul Auster), and the other one simply "Love", illustrated and designed by Vanni.
