Shapeways & the democratization of productionJochem De Boer
The document discusses the democratization of technology and the rise of user-generated content. It describes how Shapeways, a 3D printing service, allows amateur users to design and create custom 3D objects without needing 3D design skills. Shapeways offers tools for users to customize existing designs or upload their own creations, which Shapeways then produces and ships to the customer. The goal is to make accessible digital manufacturing that empowers users to design physical objects that feel uniquely their own.
This document provides an overview of the craft brewing industry and draws inspiration for designers from various aspects of craft brewing. It summarizes the history of beer in America, defines what craft beer is, and profiles several local San Diego brewers. Key lessons discussed include focusing on flavors and user experience over "genius design", benefits of collaboration between brewers, and how the industry is becoming increasingly competitive as more breweries emerge.
Turning serendipity into predictable patterns of inspirationMichael Surtees
Following daily rituals of observation using practical tools allows for a heightened ability to capture things that otherwise might have gone unnoticed. When those items are aggregated over weeks and months, new unseen patterns emerge. Creating a visual library based on new themes and topics allows for a rich pattern of inspiration. Instead of waiting for the inspired moment to come, these processes allow for someone to create their own unknown inspiration.
This document contains notes from Michael Surtees, the creative director of Gesture Theory. It includes information about his background and experiences, an overview of Gesture Theory and the types of work they do, summaries of interviews he has conducted, examples of diagrams and design work, and discussions of topics like agile development processes and iterating on designs.
A Dose of Design Inspiration from Comic StripsRoss Nover
Designers and comics share a long love affair that dates back pretty darn far. As two disciplines that share the integration of typography and images, there are many problems that both comickers and designers have had to solve. In this (hopefully) fun talk, Ross Nover will be reviewing the comics medium and various points of inspiration that designers can learn from their long-lost cousins the comic artists.
Ross is a former (and hopefully future) professor of graphic design at American University and is the co-host of Super Art Fight, a touring action-packed art performance competition. We're excited to have him bring his unique perspective on design to this month's Refresh!
This month's meeting starts promptly at 7pm, but show up early to mingle, grab a bite, and get a good seat.
The document discusses the benefits of data driven web design over static HTML pages. It explains that a data driven approach involves storing information in databases and using programming languages like PHP to dynamically generate pages based on the database content. This allows websites to have customized, up-to-date content and interactive features like discussion boards that can be easily managed and updated.
