Design -> Typografie

A Typography Workshop

A Typography Workshop

Ik hou heel erg van mooie dingen en goede typografie vind ik een van de fijnste mooie dingen die er bestaan. Maria Grilo schrijft een heel helder stuk over typografie. Laat je niet afschrikken door de eerste alinea's waarin ze vertelt dat ze het voor programmeurs schreef, het is een heel helder en goed leesbaar artikel voor iedereen.

Creatief ondernemen met risico bij Pixar

Staying one step ahead at Pixar: An interview with Ed Catmull | McKinsey & Company

Ed Catmull: For me, there are three stages of risk. The first stage is to consciously decide what risks you want to take. The second is to work out the consequences of those choices; this can be fairly time consuming. The third stage is “lock and load,” when you do not intentionally add new risk. The trick is to make sure you do stage one—doing something that has risk as part of it.

Brothers Green

Het enige dat ik mis doordat ik geen t.v. heb zijn de kookprogramma's van de BBC Ik was vooral fan van Two fat ladies en Hairy bikers. Maar misschien zijn die er wel helemaal niet meer. Maar Youtube maakt veel goed. Vooral Brothers Green vind ik geweldig. In een inieminie keukentje rommelen twee slonzige studentikoze slungels met basis ingredienten en gereedschap en zonder recept de heerlijkste gerechten bij elkaar.

"While other cooking shows are trying to impress the high class foodie with exotic flavors and exclusive restaurants, the brothers have decided to focus on the common cook. The brothers cook for all ages, shapes and flavors and spend everyday working passionately to inspire those in need to get out there and connect to their ingredients, to connect to their friends and connect most importantly to themselves using food as the vehicle for exploring all of this."
