Hasta La Ideas

thanks Mr. Elst!

Dirigé par Juan Rayos, voici cette belle vidéo présentant un collectif de longboard dans la ville de Madrid. Une équipe de sportifs composée de Ra, Nacho et Marketes. Le tout sur une double bande son de Ten Thousand Lines et Bathtime, et grâce à une captation avec le Canon 5D Mark II.

Thanks to a reader’s tip, we were pointed over to Design Related for this interview with Penguin‘s creative director, Paul Buckley, about his new book, Penguin 75: Designers, Authors, Commentary (the Good, the Bad…), which is set to be released next Tuesday. Less a history of the storied publishing house itself than a collection of both writing and design, with contributors running the gamut from Paul Auster to Tony Millionaire, talking about their experiences with book cover design at Penguin. Buckley, having managed the process putting together “roughly 600 book covers and jackets a year” assembled Penguin 75 to give a look at how it all happens. And at the risk of getting too meta, Design Related’s interview provides an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the behind-the-scenes book. Here’s a bit:

Through the process of pitching and editing the book, did you find new appreciation for the editorial side of publishing?

Yes, unbelievably so. Writing and editing is incredibly hard work, and painstaking in its detail. I was the first to find a typo in my book, and it was a pretty big one. My heart sank when I found it — I would have handled a bad art separation much better. Early in my career, I was surrounded by designers and art directors that acted as though they worked so much harder than editors, who were apparently at lunch all day and in the Hamptons all weekend. I’m sure I believed this myself, and I still see that attitude today from time to time. It’s just not true.

pIf a team of designers at Herman Miller can design awesome office chairs coveted the world over, you’d think the airline industry could design similarly comfortable chairs for the pilots who fly their insanely expensive airliners./p

pNot so, says Delft University of Technology ID grad student Nicoline van der Vaart, who did an A HREF=”http://www.slideshare.net/nicolinevandervaart/final-presentation-graduation-project-industrial-design-engineering” in-depth analysis of cockpit seat flaws/A for her graduation project. In her research, van der Vaart uncovered a high instance of back injuries in pilots, caused or aggravated by poor seating design. Check out the slideshow of her presentation, which is light on flashy renderings but heavy on nuts-and-bolts research:/p

p(Just want to point out here that I hate the sensationalist nature of blogs these days–I came across van der Vaart’s work in an article breathlessly entitled “Redesigned cockpit seat uses Nintendo Wii-fit,” which is misleading; in just one slide out of 41, van der Vaart suggests a Wii fit sensor could be used to detect when a pilot had been sitting still too long and had to shift.)/pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/id_students_research_shows_the_captains_chair_is_not_fit_for_a_captain_16860.asp”(more…)/a
