Things

I like the design of things, how things are designed and I just plain like things!....

Gary Hustwit of Helvetica: The Movie fame has announced his new project which is currently in post production. He was kept with his leaning toward design flicks with the new one. The new film: OBJECTIFIED is a documentary feature about industrial design-- manufactured objects that surround us everyday and the people who make them. It's about the creativity, the design and development and it's about gadgets in general- tech and simple.

Design stars this time around include: Chris Bangle of BMW Group in Munich, Apple's Jonathan Ive, the famous bespectacled Karim Rashid who was at the Albright Knox a few years back, and one of my favorites all around design teams IDEO- I am always going on and on about these guys.

More info can be found here as the movie is moving towards a early 2009 release. Gary's movie blog is: http://www.objectifiedfilm.com
