苹果公司创始人乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲 - [成长ing]
好学若饥，谦卑若愚（Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.）
——苹果电脑公司首席执行官 史蒂夫·乔布斯
很荣幸和大家一道参加这所世界上最好的一座大学的毕业典礼。我大学没毕业，说实话，这是我第一次离大学毕业典礼这么近。今天我想给大家讲三个我自己的故事，不讲别的，也不讲大道理，就讲三个故事。
第一个故事：第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。
我在里德学院(Reed&nb……

华人设计师今日概况（转） - [成长ing]
最近参加的几个设计竞赛都名落孙山了，仔细想想还真是自己的问题
急功近利，幼稚，没内涵……
在Billwang上看到这篇华人设计之现状，感触颇深，转过来，用以自勉！
李永诠是香港著名的平面设计师，对于他的作品我看得很少，刚刚在AsiaCI看了他的这一篇文章，受益匪浅。很庆幸自己在设计的道路上经常可以得到前辈们语重心长的教诲。如果你也是一个所谓的设计师，你遇到了这样的文章是可喜的，遇到了却错过了是很可惜的。……

MUJI AWARD 02 - [Good Design]
We urge you to read the judges' comments and evaluations as well.
Gold Prize
Name : NIIMI [Takuya Niimi/Yuki Niimi] (Japan)
Category : TowelThis bath towel moves your mind toward further uses of the product. Towels take every day dirt and gradually become damaged. In accordance with such changes, you can downsize the towel with "further options" from a bath towel to a bath mat, and then to a floor cloth and dust cloth. The towel has a vertical and horizontal textured surface that does not produce pile-fabric waste when cut with scissors. The lines act as a marker for cutting and form square modules that let you imagine other uses, encouraging you to re-use it.

MUJI AWARD 01 - [Good Design]
Gold prize
A cast-off skin
Name : Yoh Komiyama (Japan)
Category : An outlet plug to save energy
The purpose of the work :
"A cast-off skin" is designed to perform 3 functions
#1. to save energy,
#2. to prevent dust or waste from penetrating an outlet.
#3. to maintain a connection between an outlet plug and an outlet.Concept of the design;
Traditional Japanese people called an existing thing in this world "Utsusemi."
"Utsusemi" is a cast-off skin of the cicada insect. The outlet which I saw was an empty container, an "Utsusemi". An invisible soul (a transparent outlet plug) entered the container, and so it was reborn to connect the world.
When an outlet plug is pulled out of an outlet it lies like a cast-off skin without a soul.
But will it yearn for an outlet so?
"A cast-off skin" is based on this simple idea.
