AIGA Center for Sustainable Design
This is some really interesting information regarding sustainability and design. Worth checking out.
On Friday the 13th, Hilary, Ian, Laura and Nate payed a visit to the local Kent Roosevelt Rough Riders with their presentation on the VCD program. Everything went spectacularly with quite a few students highly interested in our work, and some possible recruits.
Our next presentation is December 4th at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School.
good for grasshopper
I found this website while researching a designer for my Typography brochure project. It’s a website where professional designers/professors/etc. give advice and answer frequently asked questions for students and young designers. I didn’t get much of a chance to check out how helpful it is, but the idea is interesting regardless.
NY Times Innovation Portfolio
This just surfaced on Fast Company. It is a collection of the interactive pieces that the NY TImes has been doing of the last few years. It’s really great to see all the pieces in one place. You can toggle the different types of graphics by using the top navigation. Really worth checking out. (Link)

Great AIGA Article on Otto Neurath and Pictograms
Check out Phil Patton’s article on Otto Neurath and his attempts to replace written language with systems of symbols. If you’re working on anything to do with diagrams (and so many of us are), this is a must.
You can also download a PDF of Neurath’s pictograms from his book Gessellschaft und Wirtschaft. You can find the link at the bottom of the article.
