I have some experiments looking at the ways of visualizing oral language, and in deed these examples show just how our written language struggles to express our intended message, as Cora’s drawing shows with her visual narratives. But growing with a designer and educator as parents as you are, I’m sure both your children will enjoy a visually articulate and typographically acute life…

I’m sorry for yet another missed opportunity to make it to Maine for the week. Your right on track through, and this interview gives a good take on the essence of design. An interesting note mentioned about Rick Poyner, he also wrote an article about New Views 2, a sort of mega-conference held at the London College of Communication which with Richard Buchanan leading the pack, and was discouraged by the failed structure. Although I attended one day, I also was confused, and though I should share DI’s concept to them, as even when the large groups split, they were still talking and not making.

Well I wish I could be there, enjoying the island solitude, and collaborating with everyone on what is an intriguing topic. I look forward to hearing about the week’s experience.

Admiration from London,
Eric

ps. I think a couple of weeks ago Peter H. was at LCC in London, I though I saw him walking around and when I went to say hi he had vanished into the wind… well if he was there please tell him I apologize for not catching him!
