The ephemeral nature of much graphic design is neatly illustrated in a telling little scene in the Michael Mann movie, Heat, starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. The De Niro character falls for a woman played by Amy Brenneman, who he meets in a diner. He asks her what she does for a living and she tells him that she’s a graphic designer. She explains that she designs letterheads, logotypes, CD covers and menus for restaurants. De Niro looks at her and asks incredulously: “You go to school for that?” Brenneman laughs apologetically, and says yes.

untitledfilmblog: The Lady (Dir. Luc Besson) “The Lady is an epic love story about how an extraordinary couple and family sacrifice their happiness at great human cost for a higher cause. This is the story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. A story of devotion and human understanding set against a background of political turmoil which continues today. The Lady also is the story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma’s democracy movement.”

Metro Design Language

Wikipedia page on the Metro design language developed at microsoft. I really really like this, and imho is a bold step towards style in interfaces. I can’t really tolerate anymore of rounded, glossy, shiny, reflective and shit like that.
