Rethinking the way we sit in a chair

This is a very interesting video through and through. It taught me that designing something is about more than just simply making it look good. It's also about making it functional as well. It doesn't matter if it's something as minor as a simple chair or as big and significant as a jet plane, both design and functionality go hand in hand with one another, and this video greatly exemplifies this.

REAL art!

How to NOT design something

By and large, traffic signs are supposed to be clear to drivers. Countless potholes, heavy traffic, turning difficulties, and other inconveniences plague drivers everywhere. When traffic signs don't make any sense to the driver, however, things can get frustrating and potentially life threatening to people on the road. Scenarios like this show that proper design is vital to both a company's reputation and to other people as well. Thus, it is clear that something must be done to handle this problem, preferably by replacing the confusing traffic signs with ones that actually make sense.
