Around the process

Manystuff compiled a .pdf Around the Process that was answered by designers who were all asked the same questions:

“When you work, do you think in terms of forms or in terms of a creation process? Do you have a clear vision of your final image or does it come only from an upstream creation process?”

Each reply is illustrated.

When I am a student..

I will come up with a smart information design project as did Daniel Becker. BARCODE PLANTAGE transforms a simple product bar code into a unique tree in the garden of globalisation brought to you by a design student. You can see the random or even punch a code and see what happens!

White space with a surprise

Luv what Erwin Bauer did for his portfolio website. Loads of white space and good size thumbnails. It's the nice panning interactivity that happens when you click on the thumbs and that's when the fun begins.

Awesome projects too!
