Rasmussen College’s Graphic Design Blog: “The Best of the Best”

Last night, Identityworks’ Tony Spaeth forwarded an email to the Identity Forum contributors (myself included) that he had received from Rasmussen College in Minnesota:

Subject: You’re Featured on the Rasmussen College Blog

Hi there, Tony and team:

I just wanted to notify you that your awesome graphic design blog was featured in a recent article published by Rasmussen College.

The article is found here: Graphic Design Blogs: The Best of the Best.

The article was written by one of our School of Technology and Design faculty.

Congrats, and feel free to promote the article through your social networks and blog.

Well, of course, it is always nice to receive recognition, but even better to hear that our modus operandi of promoting ‘identity’ as a business tool through education channels is continuing to gain momentum.

Here is the College Blog’s accompanying introduction:

Sometimes the simplest projects are the most difficult ones. Identity design may seem simple to non-designers, but anyone within this field knows that the arduous task of capturing a brand’s entire essence within one small icon is no easy feat. This forum provides articles and thought-provoking arguments from the best in the field of logo design. Learn from the trials and tribulations of the masters.

Typical!
Yesterday, as I started to play with just the functionality of the site—unsuccessfully trying to sync/iframe ‘the beef’ with its Facebook app—what started off with simple intentions, quickly grew to become a full-blown, all-consuming, digital facelift.
I’m still wishing the ‘/archive’ layout could be used but, until that day, here’s a slightly updated, spruced-up ‘What’s the beef?’.

This house in Netherlands, Hilversum was designed by Piet Hein Eek for Dutch musician Hans Liberg. The cozy little music studio was designed to provide a serene space for him to enjoy and compose music. The interiors sport all the amenities of a modern recording studio and what’s more, the whole house is on wheels and can be relocated to any location by hitching it to an automobile.

Coldplay: “Fix you”
Video: The Anthony Nolan Trust

First saw this video back in May 2009, c/o an “Anthony Nolan” media pack. I know, this song is a typical ‘storyboard’ (slightly annoying) track - much like Hoppípolla by Sigur Ros - but, when combined with strong visuals, containing a central message, can work so well. However, I would have been inclined to remove the narration - it’s strong enough.

In any case, looking forward to seeing the charity’s new identity, that will be launched later in the year.

“Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, The Cove follows a high-tech dive team on a mission to discover the truth about the international dolphin capture trade as practiced in Taiji, Japan. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening worldwide.

The Cove exposes not only the tragedy of dolphin slaughtering in Japan, but also the dangerously high levels of mercury in dolphin meat and seafood, the cruelty in capturing dolphins for entertainment, and the depletion of our oceans fisheries by worldwide seafood consumption. We also see how the mandate of the International Whaling Commission has been manipulated by the Japanese Fisheries Agency for its benefit and its subsequent effect on the rest of the world.”
