you can't miss

The blog I'm following continues to disappoint and I am, as I've been doing for the past few weeks, following other blogs for design inspiration and news. Something I found that will interest all designers, through the unbeige blog, I found the results for the Design Awards 2007. There were categories from editorial design to furniture design to stationery. For a full list of winners, check out http://www.designweekawards.co.uk/Results.aspx. Incidentally, Apple won for best consumer design for the iPod shuffle.

Also, I found out that Getty Images may be buying the company that owns Wire Images and Jupitermedia Corp(which owns STEP magazine and graphics.com). The sale would give the stock-photo company "almost half of the US market for still photos."

Heads up on a potentially funny movie. According to unbeige, there's a new movie called Idiocracy that makes fun of corporate branding and logos. It's all about design. In light of our logo assignment, I thought it'd be helpful. Enjoy!

The picture is from the movie, a play on the "Fuddruckers" logo.
