I think it’s really hard to look at a website as a writing project because as a designer, we have all these magic tricks we can do with our CSS and our HTML and everything and we kind of have to put that in the back and make that take a back seat to, “do I really have anything to say here?”

This is a great summary on how I feel about the process of design we're currently swamped by at Q42. It'd be great to get our clients onboard with this new process!

An interview with the creators of the opening title for WALL-E. This blog is great about zooming in on things like this. I think they also have one on the Incredibles somewhere, as well as movies like HULK and some of the great classics.

CNN using Photosynth to recreate the inauguration in 3d based on a lot of photos. Great idea. Execution isn't there yet though. Maybe they need more photos.

"I don't think there's some magic trick here. I think I've got a good nose for talent, so I hire really good people. And I've got a pretty healthy ego, so I'm not scared of hiring the smartest people, even when they're smarter than me. And I have a low tolerance of nonsense and turf battles and game-playing, and I send that message very clearly. And so over time, I think, people start trusting each other, and they stay focused on mission, as opposed to personal ambition or grievance. If you've got really smart people who are all focused on the same mission, then usually you can get some things done."
