The Last Journal.

I think one thing that really inspired me this semester was Bruce Mau's Incomplete Manifesto for Growth. I thought his beliefs on how to approach every project where not only true but fun. There were some beliefs that I have always followed, such as laughing and not cleaning my desk. But some beliefs I had fun learning about such as reading only left-handed pages, take field trips, forget about good, and begin anywhere. It was good for me to read these simple approaches and try to apply them to my projects.

Larry Lessig on laws that choke creativity

Internet could revive the read-write culture. flickr, youtube, and myspace where people produce for the love of what they are doing and not for the money. Recreating using technology to say things differently. The technique has been democratized it is now anybody with access to a computer who can take sounds and images from the culture around us and use it to say things differently. It is a literacy for this generation. These activities should not be illegal.

Balance- private solution. 1. the artists and creators choose to have their work be available for more freely amateur use. 2. business need to enable free-er content.

He mad a good point that kids today live knowing they are disobeying the law and this is corrosive. In a democracy there should be a solution to this problem.

Paula Scher

I liked how she made the point that her experience adds to her process. Especially when she was talking about the citi logo that she designed in a second. But really it was the years and years of experience that helped her design the logo.

David Carson

Pull from who you are as a person and put that into the work. The starting point is trying to interpret something not trying to make it award winning.

Lawrence Weiner

I watched this one because Lawrence Weiner looked like an interesting character....and boy was I right. You are in the stream of life whether you like it or not. And if you are going to be in the stream of life than you have to accept the responsibilities I would like a few more pleasures but there doesn't seem to be time. Wants to set up a pattern for people to figure out where they are. He sees design as a way to take notes on the world. Design is of the moment.
