Great article, thanks.

Comment on The Story of Graphic Design by heathquinn

In the USA, Pratt, RISD and other colleges and universities have had graphic design departments – and an explicit design brief – for many, many decades. Such long-standing and well-funded academic support for graphics design developed from a pre-existent critical mass of designers, and design-sensitive consumers, who exercised a clear and profound – if academically-unpublished – understanding of graphic design “in the round”. Cramsie’s focus seems to be conservatorial, rather than innovative.

Comment on Moleskine for e-Book Notetakers by pbunyar

So, will they be making a right-handed version? Honestly, if I am reading and want to take notes, I would want to write on the right side.

Of course, they could create one version that could be flipped so the note pad can be slipped in from top or bottom. You simply place a band of material to slip the cardboard backing of the pad through.

Otherwise a very good idea and pretty good execution.

Comment on Barcodes That Make You Smile by Brady Bone

I am disappointed in @Issue for not researching this topic thoroughly. FastCompany.com ran almost the same article in November 2009 and got it wrong: http://j.mp/c61DeZ.

I echo my comment here:
“Barcode Revolution (d-barcode) receives the only Titanium Lion at Cannes in 2006. Now they are getting mention on FastCompany.com for their ‘innovative’ – might I say expensive – custom UPC designs.

Well, the late Rick Tharp – founder of Tharp Did It! – did it no less than 20 years earlier. http://j.mp/1r93PK”

On another note, the assertion “it’s not one that designers should try on their own” – which you attribute to Design Barcode and Vanity Barcodes – is contradicted on the Fast Company blog by Miller herself.

“It’s not hard to do, and certainly doesn’t warrant a price tag of $4000 for a custom design.

Here’s one example I did for a marshmallow brand’s packaging: http://www.yaelmiller.com/index.php?/packagingf...

Come on, designers! Don’t be afraid to try it!”

Curious.

It would appear that I’m a member of the 55-percent majority who is capable of reading this. I was actually amazed by how effortless it was too.
