I am currently reading this phenomenal book about why people talk about products and ideas, and why they don’t talk about other things.
It’s been a fascinating read listen, and i’m going to be sharing some of these ideas with my clients over the next while, but it’s a recommended read for anyone.

I’m an illustrator and I’m currently working on a poster for a client.
Client: The boy should be tall and lanky, taller than the others, and with bad posture. Make him really skinny. He’s supposed to be 2-3 years old.
Me: You’re saying the boy is supposed to be 2-3 years old, skinny, and taller than everyone else?
Client: Yes. Make him look childish.
Me: A childish 3-year-old, taller than the adults?
Client: Yes.

Fools!

Very good article on how news needs to change. Perhaps I need to come up with an app to present breaking new properly and responsibly. Hmmm.

Cool to see there’s always more people interesting in building a society than blowing it up.
