If you are interested in publishing, here is an interesting piece about publishing models for independent publishers. Our @WorksThatWork is mentioned too. eyeondesign.aiga.org/are-mem…

Are Membership Models the Future of Independent Media?

Jack Self looks both relieved… and daunted. His Kickstarter campaign for the Real Review membership community has met its funding goal of £26,880… thanks, in part, to a sizable $10,000 lifetime...

เคยฟังไอเดียเกี่ยวกับ Project นี้ผ่านๆ เมื่อหลายปีที่แล้ว จนกระทั่งได้มาคุยกับคนทำ เพิ่งรู้ว่า นี่เป็น Design Project ที่ละเอียดดีมาก เริ่ม ตั้งแต่ Typeface ที่ใช้ในหนังสือก็คือออกแบบมาสำหรับอันนี้ชื่อตัว Lava, แค่ฟอนต์ Neutral ประกอบรูป ก็ดีมากประทับใจแต่มันไม่ใช่แค่นั้น (1)

Works That Work worksthatwork.com/ の日本編集版が今出るのすごく良いなと思って買った。帯文良い「流行のコンセプトや成功事例ばかりがメディアを流通する。しかし、日常生活や社会環境がその必要から生み出した工夫や営みにこそ、デザインが向き合うべき課題がある」 hanmoto.com/bd/isbn/97847661…

I truly believe that people are social creatures and want to help others. Sometimes, they just fail to consider consequences of their actions. A thing I learned while editing @WorksThatWork magazine is that good design/action should benefit *ALL* involved parties. – at Republic of Croatia

Today a customer mentioned that she could get a new hardcover book online for $15. Our mission is not to shame anyone for their shopping practices, but we do feel a responsibility to educate about what it means when a new hardcover is available for $15 online.

Design in 2018 | 4. A sad loss for design in 2018 was the closure of the brilliant Dutch design journal Works That Work. It produced ten issues over fie years, all exploring "unexpected creativity” and politically charged aspects of vernacular design. instagram.com/p/Br4prvmlux0/

Das Tunnelprojekt lässt mir keine Ruhe. Unglaublich: Der 350 km lange Tunnel von Budweis an die Adria wäre direkt unter dem Wörthersee verlaufen. Bildquelle: worksthatwork.com/2/tunnel-t… #tunnelprojekte

READ: In his 'Soft Thresholds'lecture in Cape Town last week Rahul Mehrotra referenced the temporary Kumbh Mela city built for the Festival of the Urn. Read more about the lessons from this remarkable feat in an article via @WorksThatWork by Mehrotra: bit.ly/1sikuVW

Very impressive- a family business that was started 1,400 years ago, and is still running. That’s serious impact! worksthatwork.com/3/kongo-gu…

If you are interested in design and social impact, you may find this interesting: United Nations and @IDMC_Geneva invite designers to create artwork to capture the essence of internal displacement. ddart.uniteideas.spigit.com/…

Point Me Where It Hurts

Kwikpoint guides enable basic communication between US troops and locals in Afghanistan and Iraq. Each one requires careful research how to communicate across barriers of language and culture.

This weekend I'm thinking about one of my favorite stories I did in Albania, for @WorksThatWork about how Hoxha-era bunkers have been put to modern use. What really makes it good are the photos from David Galjaard! worksthatwork.com/3/albania-…

From Bunkers to Businesses

Albania’s ubiquitous bunkers, built to repel an invasion that never happened, present a unique opportunity for artists and entrepreneurs.
