Paola Antonelli has a litmus test for worthy design. People often ask the Museum of Modern Art’s senior curator of architecture and design how she decides what to add to the museum’s collection, and she gives them simple instructions: “Close your eyes and think, If this object did not exist, would the world miss out?” she says. #designhistory #designbusines #MoMA #feedly fastcompany.com/91268843/moma-

I can't believe Photoshop is celebrating 35! When I first got into my undergraduate program in #GraphicDesign, one would go to design school to work on Print material. Photoshop was a "niche" software: you would edit your photos on it and then import them into other software (Freehand, PageMaker, CorelDraw, QuarkXPress). Then the web boom came, and you could not create websites without it! Happy birthday, Photoshop! #design #designhistory #photography #feedly dpreview.com/news/5807387805/a

🧩 Have you ever wondered why certain designs seem to show up in different cultures throughout history? Terry Moore dives into "Penrose tiling"—a fascinating concept where two simple shapes combine in infinite, non-repeating patterns. Could this be a universal connection through art and mathematics? 🤔✨

www.ted.comTerry Moore: A mysterious design that appears across millenniaWhat can we make of a design that shows up over and over in disparate cultures throughout history? Theorist Terry Moore explores "Penrose tiling" -- two shapes that fit together in infinite combinations without ever repeating -- and ponders what it might mean.

Held in partnership with Mattel, the vibrant pink showcase at London’s Design Museum features over 180 remarkable dolls, including rare, unique, and innovative examples from the Barbie universe. Visitors will encounter significant dolls, from the first Barbie to ‘move’ to the first Barbie to ‘talk,’ along with many others that have left a mark on culture over the decades. #DesignHistory

Saul Steinberg’s March 29, 1976 New Yorker cover is a much-copied design classic. The composition became a ”meme” in the current sense, before the term was coined. I have wondered how many times it has been copied, so I was amused to learn that my partner Tiina Koivusalo at the age of 16 had drawn a version for the anniversary of the small Finnish village Sumiainen, under the direction of one Risto Korhonen. The source is even credited.

Finnish-language poster printed in black on turquoise paper celebrating the 130th anniversary of the village. Title says roughly ”I am spiritually from Sumiainen”. It shows a detailed drawing of the main village road with church and houses and a progressively foreshortened landscape with Jyväskylä, Tampere and Helsinki, the gulf of Finland and beyond it Tallinn, to the left edge russia and the right the Åland islands. furthest away just above the horizon the Alps show, to the far right edge Poland, Germany and Brussels.
