Hey I know him!
So just s I'm about to go print out my blog, I notice an advertisement in the corner, and I recognize the picture of one of the guys....ironically by his tattoos. And it is in fact, none other than Joshua Davis, who I just did my paper on. I just though it was cool....

Eventhough I have been reviewing design blogs pretty consistently for the past year and a half, as well as been immersed in looking at new ideas, I'm still a little astounded everytime I see something that directly interests me not because it has to do with design, but from another aspect of my life. For example, although it was because of another art class, I have recently found an interest in knowing how to use power drills; and low and behold, on core77's site, here is an article about a new power drill! Its things like this that always remind me how much design really does effect every part of our lives.
Re-make it AGAIN!

Student Design
Design Sponge did coverage of the 2008 student design finalists for their scholarship program. One that stood out to me in particular was the ambient lighting (see below) for Luminoz done by Sara levy. So here's lighting that supposed to effect your mood, but as we go into smart objects, what about lighting thats effected by your mood???
