Love this diagram of the creative process as a continuum from research (uncertainty) to design (clarity). (Link)

Our newest designer Dana is awesome. You should hear her talk to marketing people when they call. Don't mess with the Dana.

Graphex 2010 = A Reflection Of Me!

graphex-2010-see-yourself-here

We just received the Call For Entries for Graphex 2010—GDC’s biennial national design awards. The concept is “A Reflection Of The Best Designers In Canada”, so I photographed myself reflected in the shiny mirror postcard. Does this mean I’m now among the best designers in Canada? No, but maybe it’ll bring some luck as we get ready to submit a bunch of work from the past couple years. Fingers crossed!

I see GDC has created a public Graphex 2010 group on Flickr, so hopefully more designers across the country will post similar photos of themselves.

    Gotta say I’m actually not that impressed with the piece; for a professional organization promoting sustainability design, it’s not even recyclable. Thumbs down.

    I wasn’t involved in the design of the piece, and appreciate your perspective, but I know that the paper is 30% post consumer waste, FSC Certified and manufactured with Green-e certified windpower. The coating doesn’t contain hard metals and although not ideal (environmentally speaking) it is a massive reduction in carbon impact compared to previous years which saw much more paper, printing, postage, etc—especially when combined with the new online submission process.

    You know, as designers we do what we can to find the best balance between concept, message and delivery, while minimizing impact. I agree, more sustainable choices could have been made, but this was the result of consultation and dialogue. I’m sorry you disapprove.
