    Mr. Rams

    “Less and More” is a traveling retrospective exhibition about designer Dieter Rams. It just ended last March at the Design Museum in London. Too late to see it there, but here’s a cool video I recently found showing off some of his work.

    What Makes A Great ID Submission

    What makes a great ID submission? It all starts with a great idea. Every week we get to choose one idea to turn into a product, but that doesn’t mean the ideation part stops there. The great thing about industrial design is spinning one idea into 20 offshoots. Sure some might be crazy, but the crazy ones lead to the ideas for great ones. I love submitting some crazier ideas (Ball O’ Tools anyone?) to see where they lead the conversations in the Project Comments.

    The other part of a great ID submission is the visual. Of course the visual is not 100% necessary, but as the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. In the business of ID, that saying can’t be more true. And you don’t have to be a modern day Da Vinci to submit a drawing, just make sure you clearly communicate your idea. That really is the essence of a great ID submission: clearly communicating a great idea.
