“It’s the subtraction of 20lbs of textbooks in my son’s backpack, and the device I finally feel comfortable buying my parents.”

- From a nice little post on the iPad by Mike Montero. With the MacBookPro now in a backpack friendlier 13” I get the feeling we may not see another MacBook – just better (bigger?) iPads.

Fast Company – Will Magazine Design Flourish or Fizzle on the iPad?

Fast Company – Will Magazine Design Flourish or Fizzle on the iPad? :

I’m not rushing out to buy the first iPad that filters down to the antipodes but am really excited about the possibilities it brings for onscreen editorial design. Hopefully magazines can evolve - combining great, well art directed & curated content with all the possibilities of a hyperlinked format.

Reasonably sure I wrote something a lot like this at art school, although it was the 90s so post-structuralism and dance music probably featured too.

Hmmmmph. From the comments on Brand New:

“I think it’s safe to say, New Zealand’s M&C Saatchi really screwed the pooch on this one.”

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination...."

““Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photos, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.””

“

Most online experiences are made, like fast food, to be cheap, easy, and addictive: appealing to our hunger for connection but rarely serving up nourishment.

Shrink-wrapped junk food experiences are handed to us for free by social media companies, and we swallow them up eagerly, like kids given buckets of candy with ads on all the wrappers.

These experiences are sensitive neither to individual humans nor to the human collective, but only to page views and growth (in a corporate, not personal sense). It is fitting that these companies call their customers “users”.
