Design View – Andy Rutledge

Aug 22, 2008   //   by Colin Yeung   //   Interesting & Noteworthy  //  No Comments

I’ve been reading Andy’s blog for a number of years now. Based in the US and head of Creative & Design strategy for Unit Interactive, he has a pragmatic, common sense attitude to design, which is backed by a wealth of experience.

Coupled to the fact that he is one of the few designer’s I’ve come across with journalistic quality to his writing, which is written with flair and enthusiasm, it makes for a good read for us “non design” types (that’s me).

The other thing I like about Andy and his designs – he uses BIG fonts, which are readable, usable and easy to digest.

Good stuff.

Movie Review: Ferris Buellers Day Off

Aug 8, 2008   //   by Colin Yeung   //   Reviews  //  No Comments

A well rounded, formulaic classic. It has a simple plot, which has a good premise – take the day off and have a blast. A likeable lead in Ferris, supported ably by his sidekick Cameron, their antics and what they actually pack into the day is a mix of culture, aspiration and plain silliness. The soundtrack is fantastic and the script is peppered with absolute diamonds which permeate our day to day. My favourite is probably “you killed the car” and “Life moves pretty quick. If you don’t get out and look around once in a while you might miss it.”
