Philippe Starck — more than just an outrageous accent.


st

Designer Philippe Starck — Attempts to answer the question.. “Why design?”

An interesting and entertaining presentation.

Check out Philippe Starck’s full bio via Ted.Com

“…and there is people like me, who try to deserve to exist, and who are ashamed to make this useless job, who try to do it in another way, and they try, I try, to not make the object for the object but for the result, for the profit for the human being, the person who will use it. If we take the toothbrush — I don’t think about the toothbrush. I think, What will be the effect of the brush in the mouth? And to understand what will be the effect of the toothbrush in the mouth, I must imagine: Who owns this mouth? What is the life of the owner of this mouth? In what society this guy live? What civilization create this society? What animal species creates this civilization? When I arrive — (and I take one minute, I am not so intelligent) — when I arrive at the level of animal species, that becomes real interesting.”

    Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it
    but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might
    be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.

    Excellent post. I was checking constantly this blog
    and I’m inspired! Very helpful information specifically the ultimate part :) I maintain such info a lot.
    I was looking for this certain information for a long time.
    Thanks and good luck.

    For the reason that the admin of this web page is working, no hesitation very rapidly it will be well-known, due to its
    feature contents.

    Its like you learn my mind! You appear to know so much about this,
    such as you wrote the e book in it or something. I feel that you simply can do with some
    % to power the message home a little bit, however other than that, that is magnificent blog.
    An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

  5. tinyurl.com says:

    Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But just imagine
    if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!

    Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could
    undeniably be one of the best in its field. Awesome blog!

    Everything posted was very reasonable. But, what about this?
    what if you added a little information? I mean, I don’t wish to tell
    you how to run your website, however what if you added something to possibly get
    people’s attention? I mean design tavern » Philippe Starck — more than just
    an outrageous accent. is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s
    front page and watch how they write article headlines to grab people to open the links.

    You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve got to say.
    Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more interesting.

  7. Now it is time to decide your specific investments.

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found
    a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this
    is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Appreciate it

  36. Grupo Coral says:

    These are in fact fantastic ideas in concerning blogging.
    You have touched some fastidious points here. Any way
    keep up wrinting.

  37. Incredible story there. What occurred after? Take care!

  38. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book
    in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that,
    this is great blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

  39. Nice blog right here! Also your site rather a lot up very fast!

    What web host are you the use of? Can I get your associate
    link to your host? I desire my website loaded up as fast as yours lol

  40. Hurrah, that’s what I was seeking for, what a material!
    present here at this web site, thanks admin of this web site.

  41. Good day I am so happy I found your webpage, I really found you by error, while I was looking on Aol for something
    else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to
    say kudos for a remarkable post and a all round entertaining
    blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the
    moment but I have book-marked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the
    awesome b.

  42. Definitely believe that which you stated.

    Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest
    thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined
    out the whole thing without having side effect , people
    can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks

  43. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re
    working with? I’m going to start my own blog soon but
    I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking
    for something unique. P.S My apologies for
    getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  44. I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet
    I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as
    you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

  45. Very good info. Lucky me I ran across your site by accident
    (stumbleupon). I have saved it for later!

  46. I could not refrain from commenting. Exceptionally well written!

Captain Feline – Blending Pop Culture with Cats

felineship

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters! Whilst the debut t-shirt illustrations by Dave are inspired by cult and classic movie characters, the team plan to increase the range to feature other pop culture icons as they grow and expand.
