The best documentary I have seen about Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs will always be one of the many who I will refer to when it comes to his seriousness about design and business.

The Power of the Eames
This is definitely a beautiful visual treat for your eyes. I never knew that Ray designed covers for magazines. They are beautifully done I must say.
Sol Sender – Obama Logo Design Part 1 and 2
Great video explaining the creation of the Obama logo. The Mitt Romney campaign logo is horrible and everytime i look at it I want to go brush my teeth ( I use aquafresh). Also it’s amazing how a logo can spread and become ubiquitous worldwide.
Check out part 2 here
Influencers – How Trends and Creativity Become Contagious
This is a really good documentary after trends and creativity. I still think back to how many trends such as wearing white t’s became the thing. Then it quickly died then wearing Nike air force ones was the thing now not so much anymore. But me personally I tend to not follow trends at all. I’m influenced by many many different things not just regarding to design. I feel that helps me to not limit my view of the world and design.
Charles & Ray Eames: The Architect and the Painter
If you have not seen this documentary I definitely recommend you take some time to do so. Learning about the Eames’s lifestyle and their approach to design influenced me a lot. I was also shocked by some of the things that happened along the way with their life and etc.
The Eames lounge chair is a piece of furniture that I will be getting because it is so comfortable and wonderfully designed. But back to the documentary. In this documentary you will learn the history of the beginning of Charles And Ray Eames, You will also learn a lot about how they ran their design studio. I’ll be the first to admit I do not agree with some things they did but I respect them both for what they have done for history and design.
Let me know what you think of the documentary in the comments below.
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.
