new year reading wish list
Sunday, Jan 1, 2012 5:56PM / Members only
Each new year I will put together a new book list for the year to come and Designing for Emotion which just launched last October 2011 gets a space in my list. It’s a book on website design written by Aaron Walter who is the User Experience Lead at MailChimp. An excerpt of the book explains much better than anything I write. “A Brief History of Personality in Design. We have a history of injecting personality into the things we make, in a bid to make mechanical things more human. When Johannes Gutenberg—goldsmith and father of the printing press—experimented with movable type in the mid-fifteenth century, the human hand inspired him. Before the printing press, scribes—usually monks—painstakingly penned each page of religious manuscrīpts by hand with quill and ink. Transcribing a bible was a sacred duty, as the scribe was thought to be channeling a divine message. For this reason, the hand’s presence in these manuscrīpts has great spiritual importance.”
I hope you would also compile your reading list as reading is still one of the most mind-changing platform to feel inspired! Happy reading in year 2012!

james & jake

The inventive genes seem to be working really well in the Dysons. James Dyson is reputed for his bagless vacuum cleaner while his younger son Jake has inherited his father’s inquisitive mind and developed this CSYS LED Task Light which refines thermal management and electronics systems producing a bright warm white colour with astonishing efficiency. The thermal management heat pipe technology cools the LED’s to ensure peak performance from the LED’s for 37+ years. The design reminds me of the Artemide One Line Flu Table Lamp.

we need to talk about kevin

Tilda Swinton never fails us, she keeps on bringing us surprises with her impeccable acting and image. This time she is playing the mother of a school child who behaved like a sociopath and killed the other mates at school in the film We Need To Talk About Kevin. I can’t wait to see this movie in Hong Kong.
