Digging for Gold
I don't often come across a presentation like this one by Belief that delves so deeply into the heart and soul of creativity and design.This Quicktime video is a live enactment of Belief's inspiration session presented in New York City at Promax/BDA 2004. Belief's Mike Goedecke and Kane Roberts are the voices. If you have an hour for lunch (and you'll need it for this 45 min session) and a broadband connection (massive streaming download), then I'd suggest that you watch it. I got a lot out of it and will watch it again to really understand what they are saying. There are a few commercials they use as examples that are obscene (like two chairs and then two robots having a sexual encounter) and some very dark video clips. But buried in this presentation are some nuggets on the heart and soul of design. Can you help me dig them out?

Excellent! Thanks so much for passing this link along!!
I really enjoy seeing stuff like that online, reminds me of that series of interviews by Hillman Curtis and Adobe. Just a general thing I feel I can learn from similar projects, or even just from communicating with other designers/artists is that our work is something we should enjoy. Our life, even. It's pretty easy to get bogged down by schedules and tasks, different sorts of events...And after being reminded, I want to enjoy things once again and continue to explore beyond my usual perspective and understanding. That is something I really value in design, not being over-inspired by how something looks, but in how an idea was approached. Too often, things can revolve around the style of a piece (at least, I've noticed this in the online design community), when the idea should be driving us to consider everything much deeper.
