Some changes…

Coming soon! Please watch out for e-mails in your RGU account, as I will soon start looking to gather work from across all years and all Communication Design programs to populate the website and blog!

Microsoft Surface

http://www.microsoft.com/surface/

Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary multi-touch computer that responds to natural hand gestures and real-world objects, helping people interact with digital content in a simple and intuitive way. With a large, horizontal user interface, Surface offers a unique gathering place where multiple users can collaboratively and simultaneously interact with data and each other.

Design is hope.

We must safeguard our creativity and take our craft seriously, because it can be a genuine agent of change. Rodney Fitch makes a plea for greater awareness of the potential of design to foster innovation and help shape a civil society.
