meok you are f**king kidding! And they have to nerve to pay their designiners what sounds like slave-labour wages!

its an awesome book.Paul Virilio- Unknown Quantity
- RIZ0
ha ha zedvox - that's classic! I used a lot of Paul Virilio's ideas when researching this project! I was quite interested in his idea of the 'great accident'
- zedvox0
nice RIZ! *hi5*
i love his theory on the accident.
"to invent the ship is to invent the shipwreck."
to design a 1000 seater aeroplane is also designing 1000 potential deaths!things we often do not talk about when we think of design, adverts, technology....

I'd love to know Virilio's opinion on the current state of the Iraq War, seeing as he uses the war model as a basis for so many of his theories about media. I think to him, the two interlink more than most would realise.
Shit, stop me rambling, I could go on forever about this stuff.

reading, conversatin', and trying to think ahead. It always helps to go back and look at examples from the masters for inspiration.

but to go back to the original question. sometimes i try and look at things as though i've never seen them before and have no idea what kind of purpose they serve.
and i also read a ton of books. all sorts of books, rarely about design.. books like Ayn Rand's 'The Fountainhead' or 'Atlas Shrugged' and Haruki Murakami's 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' .. these things inspire me to think in different ways, which is so important when so many designers seem to think in the same way.
did that make sense?
