[Sponsor] An Event Apart San Francisco

An Event Apart

My thanks to An Event Apart San Francisco for sponsoring The Designer’s Review of Books again through October.
The list of speakers is long, but Dave Shea’s They’re Letting Designers Code Now? and Facebook’s Product Design Manager Julie Zhuo on Design Lessons From 300 Million look particularly provocative.
If you’d like to sponsor The Designer’s Review of [...]

19 Books for Core77’s Hack2Work

I did a bit of moonlighting for Core77’s Hack2Work event, which is a collection of essential tips and tricks for the design professional. My contribution is a fairly arbitrary selection of 19 Books Every Design Professional Should Own.
The list could be much, much longer (and we will be reviewing the new Lawrence King publication, Bibliographics: [...]

How do you like it?

Eggs. Everyone likes them different and each of us eats them in a certain way, just like blogs. Okay, so you don’t fry blogs, but humour me with the metaphor for a moment.
The Designer’s Review of Books has been running for a few months now and I am very grateful for all the readers and [...]

Back on the Grid

I have been off the grid all last week in the Australian bush (see above) and then in the air for the excruciatingly long flight back to Germany, so I felt a little editorial news was in order. I can recommend a week of being unplugged though.
The review pile grows ever taller with some fantastic [...]

Winner of For The Love of Vinyl Competition

The For The Love of Vinyl competition has a winner.
What a difficult choice! They were all good suggestions and I was impressed by Colin and Gregory’s analysis of the several covers they chose. Loved Matt’s ELO, Out of the Blue choice for the childhood flashback it gave me (actually rifling through my brother’s albums).
Thank you [...]

Apart from announcing the winner of the For The Love of Vinyl competition, we will be taking a some time off over the holiday season. This might mean some comments take a while to get through moderation, unless you are a regular commenter in which case you will go straight through.
We will, of course, carry [...]
