It's an exciting time to work in design in any capacity. I don't care what anyone says. It's exciting to watch commerce, originality and creativity colliding with common sense, the new and welcome frugality and the most exciting kind of curiosity.
From build your own mobile phones, to luxury products incorporating thrifty D-Y-I-just-about-everything I get the feeling a big consumerist mould is smashed to bits and pieces.

M A K E YOUR OWN MOBILE PHONE - now in its 2nd version.
These products break through the "sustainability" "eco" "ethical" barrier (albeit totally encompassing each and every one of those words).
Super innovative.
Clever.
Attractive.
On many levels.
I hope this signals the future of the design of cycles and systems behind faster moving consumer goods.
Because we are tiring of this:
No matter how artistic the photography, right?
