UTOPIA

by Brendan Perry

I feel greater then the sum of all my parts
A domestic beast with a hairy Heart
Trapped within a walled suburbia

I found my tastes is somewhat underground
Between the shadows and the cracks
I’m building my Utopia

I need to beak free from all that binds
That makes me old before my time
In this world of Dystopia
My love is lik a a bright, guiding light
Shining in the darkness of the night
The star of my Utopia

In the motion of the sea, in the air that we breath
Can you feel me?
In the stars and in the trees, in the song of the bees
Can you hear me?

Caged, golden memories
Time has come to show your true feelings
I know it’s the only way to be
When the same old feelings come over me

I feel greater of all the sum of all my parts
A space jockey from a distant star
marooned upon Dystopia
I found my tastes is somewhat underground
Between the shadows and the cracks
I’m building my Utopia

In the motion of the sea, in the air that we breath
Can you feel me?
In the stars and in the trees, in the song of the bees
Can you hear me?

PAUL RAND ( 1914 - 1996 )

Being one of the most influential figures in Graphic Design and Communication I wish to dedicate this post to Paul Rand. I myself was reminded by Steven Heller from his Daily Heller emails I receive in my mailbox. Thank you Steve.

" Everything is Design, Everything. "

" Design is relationships. Design is a relationship between form and content. "

"It is important to use your hands, this is what distinguishes you from a cow or a computer operator. "

All the three quotes are from a Paul Rand conversation with students held at Yale in 1993

STEFAN SAGMEISTER : YES, DESIGN CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY

Analyzing a list of things that have made him happy, graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister realized that almost half of the items were in some way related to design. In this intensely personal talk, he shares the details of some of those moments, and gives props to three artists whose work has had a positive impact on his world. Concluding with some examples of his own work, Sagmeister offers a real insight into his aesthetic and philosophy of work -- and life.
