The Most Important Question in any Creative Brief

2010-11-03T04:03:00.000-07:00

I found this article on creative briefs, and I find it somewhat helpful... to clear your mind from the sea of not enough informed clients, who just throw all kind of useless info in the briefs. :)
So...

What is the best question to ask in a Creative Brief? If you were only given one question to ask a client about her business, what is the most important?

Alexander Girard

Alexander Girard - I always like to get inspiration from the best designers, and he certainly is one of them. Typography, product design, textile, interior design - you name it!
Looking at his awesome work (the list of famous projects goes for ever) really tells me that every peace is on the right place, and there`s not much left for me, except for enjoying it!
His work speaks, and it says: Do not satisfy with less than perfection! ...and while doing it, don`t forget to express yourself!
What do you think?

A must-see for graphic designers! Amazing retrospection of the olympic icons.

Short movie about the olympic icons by NY Times.
Quick observation trough the years of the olympic games` graphic history with sharp comments and piercing critique (by the journalist Steven Heller). Mocking at the worst attempts for creativity, but yet giving insight on what is a real pictogram.

Calligraphy - The royal among the lettering expressions.
Real calligraphy is always signed by excellence and style. Often it transfers a cultural echo of past centuries with its ornamental character.
This is why only few can be called masters when it comes to calligraphy.
It can be performed by a vast variety of tools and methods, which consequents in great diversity of styles, shapes, impressions.

This short selection was made for you to taste a bit of the world of calligraphy.
