One of the most interesting design posts I’ve read in a good while was about how Apple design is inspired by 60’s Braun design. Apple’s Jonathan Ive has taken Dieter Rams‘ designs and updated them beautifully for everything from product to user interface design for Apple.

What products have inspired you? I’ll never think the same way after seeing the the multitouch on the iPhone, and how it’s been adapted for the new Apple MacBook Air. Surely there must be more examples out there. Tell us what products have made you stop in your tracks and say “brilliant”.

I think I need to be able to use a couple more words of my own design.
Conceptsharing- The act of sharing your visual designs using the conceptshare platform to facilitate group feedback.
Conceptshared - This is a direct replacement for “I emailed the designs.” …. “I have conceptshared the designs.”
Can I do this? …..it makes sense to me.
Cheers

If you watch American Inventor last week like me you may have seen the Wacom Cintiq in action. The Cintiq is basically an interactive display that combines a great lcd monitor with a wacom tablet. Basically you can draw on the screen directly with the pressure senstive pen. The Cintiq also has a cool coating on the screen which apparently makes it feel like you are drawing on real paper. On American Inventor, a product design firm handed over the pen to the inventor himself so that he can demonstrate his intentions right on the design they way he would with a sketch pad. It was cool, the guy didn’t have to know how to use photoshop or even a mouse. He just had to know how to use a pencil. Of course he could have just described verbally his corrections to the design but that’s not easy and sometimes not even possible. This is kinda what led us to ConceptShare in the first place. We know that people who are involved in the creation of anything you can see or hold, can really only discuss and or correct the thing using visual tools. Man, the Cintiq would be quite the demo tool for ConceptShare.
