Interesting quick read about a software that allows multiple folks to “design” a set of given objects. Or to make them better.

This goes along with many of our previous crowd-sourcing debates and the end of our professions. And many of you may disagree with such a thing. But this got me thinking. It might be kind of neat to have some kind of way to simultaneously work on a file. If I had say, InDesign open and I could simultaneously work on a file with a trusted designer friend, it just may yield some pretty rewarding results. Perhaps this already exists in some capacity? I know that screensharing may facilitate such a thing. But I wonder if somebody were to take that experience one step further and create a truly multi-designer interface that would allow for two or more people to truly create something inconceivable by one person?

Anyways, just some random thoughts. Have a read as time permits.

While doing some random searches in our database, it has come to my attention that we’ve never done a post on Sulki & Min. During my brief time here in Korea, and the chance moments I’ve seen them, interacted with them, or seen something they’ve created, I’ve only walked away thinking the more they are quite amazing. I am only starting to now become adjusted to the design scene here and having now met quite a few designers and design studios, I have to say, this studio consistently stands out to me.

I think there is an unspoken deliberateness to their work. I am not sure if confidence is the right word but I cannot think of another one at this moment. Perhaps conviction? Perhaps mettle? Either way, I think their work is both convincing conceptually and formally. Having picked up a few of their books here, I can only say too, that their attention to typography both in English and Hangul, is quite amazing. And the exchange between the two, is quite rewarding, something I see very little of here so far.

All in all, have a look see. Great.

Just randomly ran into this lovely book today and dug up some of this designer/studio’s work. It is quite simply amazing. Have a look see as time permits at the work of Henrik Nygren-Design.
