应该说Love-idea模式本身就包含着一个创意，它的灵感来自于团队发起人菠萝2007年5月跟随“多背一公斤”志愿者团队走访广西阳朔时看到的一幕场景：一位50多岁的大妈坐在昏暗的屋子里，绣着金闪闪的印度纱丽，可是她并不知道，这种需要一两周时间织成并且只能获得20元报酬的纱丽作为工艺品的市场价格高的惊人，而其中的商业利润已经在销售的中间环节中被克扣殆尽了。似乎是带上了一点感奋的意味，为了帮助无法获得更多回报的底层劳动者，菠萝创立了Love-idea爱心创意团队，她要尽自己所能去改变乡村剩余劳力“为他人做嫁衣裳”的格局。

這幾天因為八搶三戰打的正火熱，許多推友（twitter 上的朋友）紛紛將自己的顯示符號改成 CT 版來應援。昨天鄭龜先生興起了一個想用推特 icon 做應援大圖的 idea，於是我也花了短短幾個小時，用 Rails 寫了這樣一個應援制服的收集展示區。

I'm sorry to say that I had previously received an approach from two charities - one via Facebook and the other by email - but hadn't yet made a donation.  However, Jeremiah's Twitter message changed that. Charities, take note...

There are at least 30 people who have indicated they’ve given through Jeremiah’s updates on Twitter, and more – no doubt – who have given privately.

In its Standards of Professional Practice the AIGA makes this unequivocal statement regarding authorship, “When not the sole author of a design, it is incumbent upon a professional designer to clearly identify his or her specific responsibilities or involvement with the design. Examples of such work may not be used for publicity, display or portfolio samples without clear identification of precise areas of authorship.” Unfortunately, this dictum has not led to consistency in the way graphic design is credited in magazines, books, websites, or contests and doesn't address the problem of unattributed work.

The AIGA's stance speaks to what has traditionally been the major issue in graphic design attribution — in such collaborative work why does a single designer end up getting the credit?

What about young designers who put work done at a well-known studio on their personal portfolio site? What about big studios that use a monolithic studio credit for the work done by individual employees? And (as in the Sundance Channel example) what about work that goes completely uncredited?

if you’re planning to set up a website to appeal to Chinese consumers, don’t assume that the URL and the “name” of the website are the same.  I’d suggest first focusing on the Chinese name of the website, and then picking a URL that is somehow related to the Chinese name, or failing that, a URL that is short and simple to remember.  Also, don’t be afraid to use URLs that are based on numbers.  This approach is quite popular.

Hi, Tom, that’s a great post on online branding of Chinese website. I still don’t like use URLs that are based on numbers. Smart people could find the idea for same URLs (by Pin Ying) and Chinese website Name. For example: 豆瓣douban.com is great name.

Seoul Commune 2026 investigates the viability of an alternative and sustainable community structure in the overpopulated metropolises of the near future. The imagined community is integrated within the ever-accelerating developments of the digital environment and ongoing rapid social change. Seoul Commune 2026 presents a concrete architectural and urban proposal that entirely reconfigures, and consequently develops the existing towers in the park form. Seoul Commune 2026 unites towers and the park in a balanced way. It forms a complex network of private, semi-public, and public spaces.

But if you go back a few thousand years, the site was home to the Mayans, a highly advanced civilization whose ruins still dot the region. Among their many accomplishments, the Mayans developed one of the most sophisticated writing systems in Mezo-America, with over 800 glyphs and symbols. And that’s where the New York-based design and branding firm Carbone Smolan began its brainstorming to create a symbol that would capture the essence of the resort’s history and culture. “We understood that Punta Nizuc was Mayan for “nose of the dog” “ says co-founder Leslie Smolan. “After researching the Mayan culture, and noting visual cues like anthropomorphic creatures with softly rounded, wave like forms, our sketch process and final logo incorporates both, evoking both dog and sea.” Smolan shared her Nizuc mood board to show us the earlier incarnations of their ideas. The logo also reflects the Mayan belief in the circular nature of the continuum of life – birth, death, rebirth. So, Smolan says, the logo is designed to keep your eye moving around the mark. It’s a cool little bit of cultural conscription, and looks surprisingly authentic, even if its pedigree is more Manhattan than Mayan. Of course, a strictly New York interpretation of what “nose of the dog” would look like would probably be something cold and wet – not the pictogram you’d want to represent a luxury a beach resort.
