Here are some more details from van Gaalen:

Never Use More Than Two Different Typefaces And 50 other Ridiculous Typography Rules
This is the fifth book in the Ridiculous Design Rules series by Anneloes van Gaalen. This new publication is about ridiculous (or not…) rules in typography, a joy for graphic designers and everyone who has anything to do with designing texts. Like no other, this is a world that is held together by rules, which designers, of course, often take great delight in breaking. In this series, ‘ridiculous’ is a relative term, because what is nonsense for one can be an important guideline for another. In these pleasing and educational books, it is not about laying down the law.



For each of the 51 rules covered in each book, Van Gaalen refers to quotes by famous fellow designers, who either think there is something to the rule or have made a personal variation of it. Whether you agree with them or not, the Ridiculous Design books sharpen your own thoughts about the rules and the assumed truths of design, advertising, fashion, photography and the Internet. Each rule is convincingly illustrated, with the illustrations either confirming or disproving the rule in question.

Draw with Me (Update)

Awesome video! so sweet and very sad..heartbreaking :(




It's about a girl and a boy separated by an unbreakable glass.

Music and Sound: Daniel James
( HybridTwo: http://hybridtwo.com/ )
Inspiration: A friend before

Since the original was using a copyrighted music, I commissioned Daniel James (from HybridTwo) a track for this.

In this newer version, I decided to add/improve a few things. They're not so noticeable, but I feel much more contented with them.
There are those that are left unedited, but I feel like it's best to leave it that way.

Author's Note:
Thank you everyone for giving the original 'Draw with Me' a million views!
I'm sorry i'm not able to reply to all of the messages, because there are so much of them and I am pretty busy with work and other needs.

Update:
Everyone is permitted to reupload the video (perhaps edited to however your kick desires) anywhere, as long as you won't claim you own/made it, and credits both to me and Daniel James (if his music is still in use) are present...

Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action

Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers -- and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.

Melting Waves ~drifting away from ordinary design

I came across this interesting blog called Melting Waves ~drifting away from ordinary design.

It is created by Benjamin Jacques a 19 years old Graphic Designer from Frederick,Maryland currently attending the Savannah Collage of Art and Design (SCAD).

The goal of melting Waves is to educate other designers as to how they take their designing to the next level by integrating it with blogging.
