It’s Friday, and that means that it’s time for some links to things that I love (or have strong feelings about) from the internet!
Minimally Minimal talked to Dieter Rams. Is this pretty fantastic? Yes. Would that be the coolest thing? Yes.
If you were wondering how Transformers are made, now you know. I want a feature like this about every single thing that exists. Built world! Tell me how you came to be!
The Flattening of Design. I am all about simpler, flatter logos. Flatter graphics look cleaner, and less like they’re trying to be something that they aren’t.
These notebooks are pretty clever. If I didn’t already have such a huge stash of notebooks and sketchbooks, I would buy them!
Cooper Union is going to start charging tuition for undergraduates. I really like that Cooper Union students have risen up against this, and I wonder if Kendall students would ever do something like that. Here’s the twitter account run by students, and articles about the issue from NPR and Metropolis.
As you might have noticed, there are new ads set up in the sidebar. If you’re interested in sponsoring Fifteen-Seventeen, I’m offering free ads to the first five people who buy ads with the promo code NEW ADS. Really! Free advertising! NEW ADS is the code, so go and try it out.
If you wanted to see me look crushingly awkward in front of a green screen, now is your chance! This video was a part of the Dialogue and Personality class presentation, and I think it’s an interesting perspective on student life at Kendall.
