Park Interactives by Dunne and Raby

Parks are strange places. During the day happy families play out idealised
scenarios of modern life, while at night, they become sites for a variety of illicit activities. Our furniture will make some of these night-time activities more convenient and at the same time, offer a critique of the kind of design that is always trying to make things nice, convenient, user-friendly, efficient and ergonomic (especially public furniture).

Symbol Signs | The Ministry of Type.jpg
This system of 50 symbol signs was designed for use at the crossroads of modern life: in airports and other transportation hubs and at large international events. Produced through a collaboration between the AIGA and the U.S. Department of Transportation, they are an example of how public-minded designers can address a universal communication need.

whitelinesc2ae-the-new-writing-paper

whitelines is a new writing paper that uses a stark white line over a light grey field rather than the usual dark line on white field. The reduced contrast inherent to the paper allows your drawings or writing to stand out cleanly, some examples. They come in a bunch of ISO paper sizes and bindings and are available lined or gridded. The books and pads also look pretty great. I ordered some A5 wire-bound gridded sketch books and look forward to trying them out in a few days.

food isotype samples

Gerd Arntz designed over 4000 isotype pictograms in his lifetime. Collected in the Gerd Arntz Archive, these drawings gave the proletariat knowledge of the world.

This knowledge should not be shrined in opaque scientific language, but directly illustrated in straightforward images and a clear structure, also for people who could not, or hardly, read. Another outspoken goal of this method of visual statistics was to overcome barriers of language and culture, and to be universally understood.

Monaco Grand Prix Track Drawing by Tim Knowles

A series of drawings generated by an apparatus in the back of a moving vehicle, a system of sliding rails and elastic holds a pen
on to paper and records the forces at work within the vehicle. As the car moves much like a ball on the back seat of a car,
as you break the pen moves forward, you turn left the pen moves right, etc.

Paperwhite Studio wants you to fill in the blank with what you really love.


your phone keypad could have looked like this

While 3X3 + 1 wasn’t the most popular in the focus groups, that would be IV-B, it eventually won out. Some of the other designs make sense in as much as they have strong similarity to the dial used on phones previously. I do wonder though, if the prevalent use of the number keypad, in similar forms to the telephone keypad now found on ATMs, safes and my desktop keyboard would look different. Was the 3X3+1 configuration in use in other situations before the telephone company made the switch?
