Tip: Use the Colour Picker

3062_or

This is exactly what we had in mind when we created the Distracted category here at EML. More than 50 collections. Collections like Design of Understanding, Chermayeff & Geismar 1960-2006, and Insides/Outsides. Or browse by category: discipline, year, format, location, colour, industry. You don’t even have to be Distracted to enjoy it: hop on the “search” and get it over with. Navigation is another smorgasbord of options, all of them perfectly appropriate. Note for future development: a bit of context would be welcome, ideally on the page, or even just through a link out to the Wikipedia entry.

Gaelic For Time

All is forgiven, Netdiver. How can I stay mad at you for stealing so much of my time this morning, when it is this very theft which is responsible for my improvement through knowing Emilia Forstreuter?

And maybe I left the doors open on that time anyway. After all, your link to Forstreuter’s work was only to her Vimeo, and I had to click around all on my own in order to experience the mindblow of her full site.

Anyway, now I am in post-discovery wonderment. Such fertility and diversity at age 27 – what esteem should accrue to Braunschweig University, to the U of Dundee, to the parents, to destiny? And of course my perpetual wonder: is she nice?

I think she probably is, because one of the things she created is a series of idents and bumpers for a made-up tv station that “wants to be a peaceful haven amidst the television jungle”. She calls it àm, which is Gaelic for time. Here it is. Oh, and lest I replicate Netdiver’s omission of the rest, here is her site.
