		<description><![CDATA[After my last post about crowd sourced design, I rather enjoyed Rob Walker&#8217;s Consumed article &#8220;Banana Democracy&#8221; here in today&#8217;s New York Times Magazine. The piece explores Chiquita&#8217;s public competition for designs for stickers on its bananas. Arising out of the popularity of a web-based design-your-own sticker tool (some 25,000 people took part, apparently), the [...]]]></description>

The excellent WNYC radio station program, On the Media, recently aired the conversation here between host Bob Garfield and Michael Samson, the co-founder of crowdSPRING.com. The website is a crowd sourcing resource for designers and those seeking design services. The question, which Garfield explores, is whether this is putting established design businesses out of work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The astonishing explosion of information in the age of the internet has supposedly sounded the death knell for traditional communication. Information has become democratized, so I&#8217;m told. Yet the paradox is that the more information we have, the less that we know. Or rather, the less that we truly know, compared to what we assert [...]]]></description>

I’ve been captivated by a blog from an old friend, Lawrence, who with his wife, Anna, works as an artist collaboration. They have been selected to take part in one of four Golden Threads Research Fellowship schemes organized by Delta Arts in England. The Research Fellowship is hosted in Denmark between June 17 &#8211; July [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gravestones are not typically viewed for their design innovation and appeal. They may evoke a sense of solemn reverence, inspire an interest in the life and times of the person being remembered or provoke a fascination in the passing of time and our mortality. They may even be a Wonder of the World, as the [...]]]></description>

If you didn&#8217;t click on the TV spot link above, do so now and watch the 30 second ad. It&#8217;s the only way to appreciate [...]]]></description>

But decorating eggs doesn&#8217;t have to be just for kids. In fact, there is a traditional Ukrainian art of decorating eggs that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not given to hyperbole, but this is one occasion when I can enthuse about a truly stunning artistic fashion collaboration between two powerhouse brands, Liberty of London and Target. I am especially excited because the collection includes that sartorial standby every man can set himself apart with: The necktie.
Liberty is an iconic British institution, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a recent Sotheby&#8217;s art auction in London, L&#8217;Homme qui marche I (Walking Man I), an iconic Alberto Giacometti sculpture, sold for more than $104 million. At more than six foot, this imposing bronze certainly commands visual as well as substantial fiscal attention. It is not, however, the auction value that I&#8217;d like to comment [...]]]></description>
