Objectified (2009, 75 minutes) is a documentary film about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?

Utilitarianism should not clash with design, it should not come at the cost of compromising design either.

Apple: Recommends developers not to use generic tab names such as Home.

Also Apple:

Affinity, once my trusted Adobe CC Suite alternative, is doomed. Joining Canva is such an insult to designers.

"We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.” 

“The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.” 

There’s nobody can deliver a better monologue than R. Williams himself.

Learning how to respect our own work as a designer is a fundamentally important but often neglected skill while developing professionism.

Yup I sat in cinema for 6 hours and half and watched two movies in a row.

I’d rather go solving Taylor expansion in Swift than seeing people showing off their insta stories of Taylor Swift concerts these days.

Lovely folks, in case you have not yet watched the documentary "Objectified" or simply just want to watch it again (and again), there's a free online screening from 14 to 17 March over here for its 15th anniversary. Enjoy :)

I’ve finally started to realise how great this game is after hours of playing into it. It’s truly a space odyssey.

A team’s culture must not be given, it has to be earned and nurtured.

The new generation of designers should incorporate coding as one of the basic skills
