Today is my last day at Google.

I started working in-house at Google almost three years ago. I built a team from scratch. I was fortunate to hire a team of a very talented designers. We introduced Visual Design as a discipline to Google. And we produced amazing work together. I’m very proud of my team, and I wish them well. They have a lot of challenging work ahead. But for me, it’s time to move on.

Goodbye, Google by Douglas Bowman.

This article is on the conflict between the design and engineering people, while they were approaching to the filed of design. Who can dare to refer the Greek word, the techné, which means art and technology simultaneously in this situation?

The best way to characterize Sutnar is to say that he was a pioneer, for he did pave way for new thinking and creativity, boldly trying things that today’s generations consider quite natural. His versatile talent made him part of a whole group of modern European designers and architects who strove to bring quality in ordinary life.

The scope of his creative and organizational activities is astounding. Inspired by the Bauhaus school, he lent truly modern design to articles of eneryday use, publications, toys, architecture and exhibition installations, advanced porfessional schooling in graphics to the highest levels of the petiod and influenced in a major way the lifestyle of prewar Czechoslovakia’s burgeoning middle classes.

When following 1939 he remained in the U.S., he asumed a prominent posotion aming its Euro-American avant-garde. Thinking about the future brought him to formulate the essentials of information design by which he in advance helped shape today’s 21st century world, and laid the grounds of modern visual communication in marketing, advertising and even enviromental protection. Like his design, geometrically precise, optially intriguing and at the same time highly imaginative are also his large nudes which he painted in the 60’s and 70’s, calling them “joy-art”. The first-ever retrospective exhibition if Suntar’s oeuvre covering both his Czech and Americal periods shows that the vibrant and thought-provoking work of this artist of a global importance is yet to be fully recognized.

article from this website.

In designing website, decoration is totally useless. sometimes it hinder the communication between user and information. Information is not a object. it’s a kind of organ that breathe. sometimes he communicate with us, as monkeys in the zoo laugh at us and try to hold our hands. over-drived decorations are same as barbed-wire which is setted between you and living information.
I think so. that’s why I love site designed in this way.

Designer’s death.

+ 제발 글을 쓰면서 “나는 이런 것도 알고 있다”라는 자만에 찬 문장들을 쓰지 않았으면 한다. 글을 쓰면서 누구나 빠져들 수 있는 늪이라는 건 알고 있지만, 퇴고 한 번 쯤 해보는 건 예의 아닐까? 자신이 쓴 글을 읽고 제대로 이해할 수 없다면 퇴고하는 것이 당연한 것 아닌가?

초등학교 영어교육 같은 개념 쌈싸먹는 소리 하지 말고 제발 국어나 제대로 가르쳤으면 하는 소망이 있다. 그러니 우리 나라에서 나오는 전문 서적은 저자만 이해가능하다는 핀잔을 듣는 거다.

++ 빌렘 플루서(Vilem Flusser)가 지은 디자인의 작은 철학(Vom Stand der Dinge)라는 책을 같이 빌렸지만 엄청난 비문과 앞뒤를 가리지 않는 번역 때문에(혹은 그런 핑계로) 읽지 않았다. 거의 포기다.

국어가 어렵다고는 하지만 그래도 번역을 한다는 사람이 이런 비문을 쓴다는 건……
젠장 :-(

+++ 주로 상품 디자인의 입장에서 서술한 글이 맣다. 그러한 한계를 가지지만 당대의 유명한 명제를 통해 그 시대의 문화적 흐름을 통찰하는 기회를 준다. 다만 중요한 것은 지나치게 인과론적인 관점이나 기호학적인 관점에서 디자인적 기표를 파악하려는 점이다. 시대의 흐름을 읽는다는 것은 디자인사를 위해서는 중요한 일이다. 하지만 그런 의미 외에도 항상 새로워야 한다는 파괴적 강박관념이 어떤 방식으로 표출되는가를 살필 수 있는 계기가 되었다. 물론 저자의 의도와는 무관하게.
