This is a thread about DESIGN

A Designer is usually regarded as an artist who creates work to meet a customer's specific needs. They're also separate from most artists in that they own shoes.

Someone who calls him or herself "A Designer" can also specialise in any number of sub categories such as

Print Media

Web

Corporate Identity and Branding

Fashion

User Interface

Packaging

etc etc

The only thing you have to have in common is a hatred of your clients

So I know a bunch of people here are designers. What are you working on? Who are some people who inspire you? What's your favourite Pantone number? What are some websites you check out for inspiration or ideas or funky little programs? Post some cool shit you've seen lately!

    we needed a custom wrapper for giant candy bars that are going in gift bags because apparently we need to exchange some sort of gift with another group of six people in DC on Monday.

    I whipped this up p. quick. The color scheme matches our awesome sweatshirts (which myself and a girl in our group designed).

    the nutritional information is kind of an in-joke because our presentation revolves around hypoxia and ocean acidification.

    Out of a sense of idle curiosity, Ian Warner from Berlin's Blotto Design tried to typeset an entire novel on a poster, using James Joyce's Ulysses as experimental raw material.

    The result was impressive and was met with a lot of enthusiasm from friends and clients of the office. Blotto decided to turn the idea into a commercial project, and launched a webshop which currently sells four posters based on the original idea: Shakespeare's Macbeth and Homer's Iliad in English; Goethe's Faust (parts I & II) and Marx's Das Kapital in German.

    The longest text is Marx's Das Kapital, which has over 800,000 words, and is set in 2.2pt type. The result is a wall of text, which intrigues the viewer by slowly revealing its content the closer one gets to the poster: from a distance it resembles a uniform grey-scale field; from up close the hidden structure of the text is revealed through the varying density of paragraph symbols.

    Parsing and structuring Shakespeare's Macbeth as a table was a marathon task of database hacking, automated text formatting and search-and-replace routines.

    But the biggest challenge was the steep learning curve involved with starting up a webshop, organising all the backend logistics for shipping, and dealing with the legal side of German consumer rights.

    Not really, it's just a very good application of multiple parallax scrolling using the z-index property and relative scroll heights.

    I was seriously getting a little frustrated. Just all "for real you didn't post a link? What the fuck man"

    I'm a printmaker so I design posters and shit. It is a thing i do. I also have an intense boner for all things design so this thread is for ME

    one of my designer heroes is david mccandless

    http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/

    what I find powerful in design is when people allow information to intelligently dictate structure and aesthetic, which of course he does probably better than anybody
