French designer Etienne Meneau has made a new drinking glass in a limited edition of 12 pieces. It’s called Little Heart, made of borosilicat glass and takes 20cl. If you remember my earlier post about Etienne Meneau you will probably find a clear releationship with this glass and the former carafes.

The latest PSFK Conference is coming to Singapore this Friday (October 10), bringing more creatives together than you can shake a stick at — Mark Dytham is even giving a talk!
PSFK’s Piers was even kind enough to invite me as a speaker, which I unfortunately had to turn down because of this week’s Tokyo Game Show. Instead, I’ll look forward to the reports that should pop up in the coming weeks over at the PSFK blog. You can find more info on the event, and how to attend, on the official site.

The 960 Grid System, by Nathan Smith, is an effort to streamline web development workflow by providing commonly used dimensions, based on a width of 960 pixels. There are two variants: 12 and 16 columns, which can be used separately or in tandem.
The 12 column grid is divided into portions that are 60 pixels wide. The 16 column grid consists of 40 pixel increments. Each column has 10 pixels of margin on the left and right, which create 20 pixel wide gutters between columns.
All modern monitors support at least 1024 Ă 768 pixel resolution. 960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480. This makes it a highly flexible base number to work with.

This made me smile: Sydney-based designer Chris Doyle has obviously done too many large identity projects recently - he decided to create a set of guidelines for himself as he began wondering âhow my personal identity would be documented if it were considered in graphic design termsâ.

Hype Machine (probably the best source for listening to muzak on the web) has been really smart in how it has encouraged users to update their profile pic. How? By using a shot of John McCain. âDonât be a McCain! Login and upload your profile photo today!â They’ve also made it a lot easier to find other users that like the same hard to find songs. Great release…
I missed this because it was announced while I was in China, but Dezeen will be producing the catalog for this year’s edition of Tokyo Designers Week and 100% Design Tokyo. Definitely some good news, as previous editions have been less than stellar. The deadline for submissions by exhibitors is October 6.

The Crucible/Microsoft HCI Reading Group at Cambridge University is a journal-reading group dedicated to review and critique of recent theoretical developments in human-computer interaction.
In early August, the group discussed a draft manuscript from Paul Dourish (UC, Irvine) and Genevieve Bell (Intel) that is currently under review, entitled “‘Resistance is Futile’: Reading Science Fiction Alongside Ubiquitous Computing”.

DWR's second Tools For Living store launches tomorrow, and i just popped into the Santa Monica store for a quick press preview... it is GORGEOUS. And in this heat wave, you won't want to leave the lovely, spacious, air conditioned store filled with designer goodies that are fully functional in your everyday life!
While i can't even imagine picking all of my favorites and temptations from the store quite yet (perhaps we'll save that for the gift guide!) ~ i couldn't help myself when taking pics, and ended up with about 30 on the next page to give you a feel for the store in person. There really is something so great about being able to spin around a store ooohing and ahhhhing about products i've only seen online, or have been unable to find in the US that i saw at foreign trade shows. So especially for those who aren't close enough to pop into the DWR Tools For Living Santa Monica or SoHo stores, take a browse at the gallery on the next page! With holiday shopping around the corner, i can already tell this will be one of my new last minute gift stops...

The nice folks at Digital Web Magazine published my new article on Concept Design Tools. It’s already received some nice reviews in the Twitterverse…
For those of you who haven’t seen Victor Lombardi’s new article on concept design tools, it’s a must read…
…it’s brilliant stuff and super accessible. It’s great to see solid thinking around the topic. There isn’t enough of it.
…great article on concept design!!!!
Here’s some reactions from bloggers I keep hearing over and over, confirming why I think this topic is important for digital designers. Steven Clark asks, Where is the breadth of our design?…
where is our design process preceding the implementation phase? The moment we receive the brief weâre practically falling over ourselves to push forward, and implementation seems to go on at the same time that weâre figuring out what the product should do. This is as applicable to web solutions as to applications, we jump in boots and all with predetermined assumptions.
And Martin Belam writes…
One strong theme that came out of it for me personally though was that, unlike industrial designers, when we make web applications and sites we tend to rush to wireframes and ‘colouring in’ before we have explored multiple potential solutions. Victor’s championing of questioning the brief looked like a good way to try and break out of that vice.
Since writing it I’ve already discovered similar work that’s been done over the past several decades. My approach is different in that the tools are simple and fast enough for any designer to use without having to learn a lot about method, but I will be spending some time with the masters to learn how I can climb onto their shoulders.
Shiina Ringo is collaborating with graphic designer Yutaka Kimura for the “Shiro to Kuro” collection of three shirts at Uniqlo. Penguin, Zebra, and Dalmation will go on sale November 17, and sell for 2,000 yen. Honestly, I can’t say I’m particularly excited by these, but reporting it because it’s an interesting move from Uniqlo. Via Imprint Talk.

Itâs common to focus on emotions while ignoring or having any awareness of what that goes on inside our body. This lack of understanding between the two can lead to health problems, for serious. So if we could keep track of how our emotions and bodies relate, what would that look like?
This portable device lets the wearer express emotions with colors by correlating them with biometric data. The idea is to create another way to externalize how we feel in a language anyone can understand. Someone walking down the street with flash red might be upset, in a hurry, or angry. A computer keeps track of your colors, sort of a diary of emotions that can be turned into choreographed motion graphic pieces.
Itâs an esoteric concept but one grounded in scientifically proven models. We all react to colors and in most cases, can assign specific colors to a range of human emotions. Iâd love to see this concept come to fruition.
