Here’s to the Crazy Ones

• Happy Mac by Susan Kare
I was very saddened by the passing of Steve Jobs today. But I’m not here to mourn. It made me realize how my personal life is enriched and my professional life as a designer is made possible through his and Apple’s contributions, for which I’m greatful.
Even though this is from a commercial about Mac users, I think it’s most true about SJ himself: “Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
KD-Lounge Depot

• KD-Lounge logo designed by Bensch Lüdiger
Since 2006, there has been an ongoing lecture series KD-Lounge at the communication design department of the HTWG Konstanz. Design professionals are invited to share their work, knowledge and thoughts with the students. The lectures are organised by students and have gained an amicable following.
Now, we are compiling an archive with the talks, starting with this semester and hopefully adding previous ones sometime soon.
It’s my pleasure to introduce to you: the KD-Lounge Depot.
What’s it going to be then, eh?

It’s a new beginning and a fresh start for this blog. Being a designer, there is going to be a certain focus on that métier.
The content is all about design, the design is all about the content. The branding is almost anonymous. Where’s the logo? Would you even miss it?
This site is supposed to be an ongoing experiment, a discovery trip. I have no idea what’s going to happen next — so I invite you to stick around and find that out as we go. And I’m curious. Aren’t you?
