Basée à San Francisco, l’illustratrice Nata Metlukh fait des dessins éditoriaux pour différents magazines. Ses illustrations s’inscrivent parfaitement dans l’air du temps, l’ère numérique et l’air citadin pollué, le tout avec un style coloré et drôle. Ses illustrations sont à découvrir en images dans la suite.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. It’s been an incredibly busy month here at YD so I haven’t had much time to capture all the videos I wanted but I promise more product reviews are coming. In the meantime, enjoy episode 8. I’m talkin’ Booq Viper hard cases, the red dot winning Sol Republic RELAYS and see how my Click & Grow herb garden is doing.

What started as a successful Kickstarter campaign is finally shipping and I got my hands on one. In this episode I set up the Click and Grow Smart Herb Garden and discover it really is easy for anyone to grow their own herbs at home. Each Smart Herb Garden comes with cartridges for basil, thyme and lemon balm. Future cartridges will be available for chili pepper, mini tomato and I’m crossing my fingers for berries! Oh I also participate in #whaling. You won’t believe it!

You best know him as the man behind the red dot awards – concept design, Singapore, however I know Ken Koo as the visionary behind many design initiatives across this island country. We almost lost him to the world of finance, with his degree in accountancy; Ken began his career with numbers. But like they say … Accenture’s loss is now the design fraternity’s gain! I hope to turn my many conversations with Ken into a bustling series, and that you readers and I can pick his brains on topics related to the business of design.
I kickstart this episode with the ever imposing question about Design Thinking!
A lot of talk is there about design thinking and how it helps both designer and entrepreneurs. Ken, if you were to explain what Design Thinking is to a common person with zero design background, then how will you explain it?
Design Thinking is a set of tools and methods to help one break free of preconceived ideas and notions. It provides ways to observe understand and derive innovative ideas on how to solve a problem or achieve an objective.
One key tool is ethnography, which we can use to observe the customers, space, interaction etc, in order to reveal latent needs and issues. As always, you never can really get the real picture just by listening to your clients. If they would have known the exact problem or opportunity, they would have embarked on it already.
As a designer, the tool helps us organize the mess of data into meaningful observation. Techniques to derive innovative solutions and approaches like “rule bending” challenges norms and open up minds to create new ideas…
After you have sorted out the design thinking process, and you present to your client the solutions, what is the best way to make a compelling presentation; any tips?
What is the best way to make a compelling presentation? Ultimately, what will make the client make serious efforts to implement any solutions is how it impacts the business’s profitability. You cannot just present what it (your design solution) can do for the client design wise. Many clients cannot fully appreciate it in that way. But if you also present how it might impact the business, its profitability, client retention, cost reduction, market expansion etc. then you have nailed it right!

Every year, in a competition we call Challenge Dyson, Dyson engineers are given a design brief outside their everyday job. It’s our way of encouraging engineers to stretch the bounds of their imagination and follow through on improbable ideas. It’s this “wrong thinking” approach that has led to Dyson’s most important inventions. This year’s brief: engineer a machine that can fly and navigate a course made from Dyson parts (looks similar to a drone!).
The overall winner in Dyson Malmesbury was a team called Beeline. Beeline is a quadcopter inspired by Ross Lovegrove’s engineering principle of “fat free design” which reduces the design to its minimal essential elements – function over form. The key to its success was keeping weight to a minimum including using brushless motors similar to Dyson’s digital motor. The stability and control provided by the four propellers and built in 3-axis gyro and accelerometer allowed pilot, Darren Lewis to steer the aircraft to victory.

The notion that print media is dead is continually proven wrong. With the successful launch of various biannual and quarterlies in recent years, it seems the case that print is actually alive and well—so long as it’s high quality, collectable editorial content. The…

Streamline digital content with the click of a button
Whether you’re an information junkie or just someone with little time for filtering through the surplus of online content, Reading is designed to help. Founded by Max Fenton—online editor of McSweeney’s “Believer” magazine—and Greg Leppert of Svpply fame, Reading combines the literary and tech worlds for one seamless feed that allows you to see what other people are perusing, or share stories that you find interesting like a personally edited newsreel.
It’s as simple as downloading the bookmarklet and tagging what you’re reading, but you can then also click on one of three buttons that appear in the top right corner—”yep,” “nope” or “share.” Back in your feed, any stories you said yep to will have a green checkmark next to them, and any nopes will be crossed out in red. You can also delete any stories you read and no longer want listed in your feed, like the one on Neopets or about which Silicon Valley women party the hardest.
You can also auto-program your selections to have a “hook,” so that every time you mark something with a yep, for example, it posts to platforms like Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and more, or conveniently to Instapaper for reading offline.
Reading is a super easy way to share information online and build a community of friends whose reading interests pertain to yours. Even if you don’t make it all the way through your feed, once you’ve amassed a network you can use the search field to enter a topic and see all of the stories related to that that haven been bookmarked by the people you’ve chosen to follow.
