Objectified Documentary
The first time I watched this documentary I had no idea what to expect in relation to product design. After watching it I definitely have a greater respect for well designed products. I really love the Dieter Rams part in the documentary.

“I drew the city bank logo after the first meeting on a napkin”
When I learned that Paula Scher did the Citibank logo so fast I was blown away. But she also said after 34 years she’s able to do that. She’s always an inspiration to watch and to hear talk. The pentagram office is beautiful btw.

Sally Draper : When I think about forever, I get upset. Like the Land o’ Lakes butter has that Indian girl… Sitting, holding a box. And it has a picture of her on it, holding a box. With a picture of her on it, holding a box. Have you ever noticed that?
Heres what the tropicana package design looked like for years and what it looked like after
Designing Obama
I honestly believe that the Obama branding is one of the best I have seen for a presidential candidate ever. What president has had such an impact with a logo that has become so well known by itself? I feel the presidential branding will steadily improve over the years depending on who does the branding for them.

Bill Bernbach and Helmut Krone on advertising
This is a great way to show how Research can get in the way- Bill Bernbach
Hearing Bill say that reminds me of how Steve Jobs never relied on market research. Not relying on market research definitely allow creativity, and other avenues to be explored without feeling so limited to what you can design and produce.
