The Art Gallery of Ontario gets a new logo. Too bad they can't switch around "Before" and "After", because the "old" one seemed a bolder, wiser choice. ›

Inspirability
by PASH, Matt Pashkow
Given to me most graciously by my friend Heather, my nose has been buried in this book for a couple weeks now. Take 40 well-known designers, sit them down, and interview them about inspiration. Sounds simple. The answers are fantastic. I love learning how other designers find their inspiration. Great book for quick glances or long reads.

America is $943.5 billion in credit debt. Are you fucking kidding me?! How in the hell did this happen? Did we all collectively spend too much time in Macy's?! Did we all buy way too many over-priced grande coffees?! Did we all at once decide to buy those designer jeans on "sale" for $175?!
While browsing through my feeds this morning (as I do every morning with a piping hot coffee) I came across a simple idea. What makes us happy? What makes us happy on a daily basis? It got my mind churning. I realized we don't often stop to consider the tiny moments each day that flag positivity.
A few mental notes regarding this year's Super Bowl. In no particular order, and totally biased. Good thing, too, because there are a few things to complain about (yay!).
