Geoffrey Cooper

A recent Grad of the Art Center College of Design, Geoffrey Cooper fits right in with what we are trying to do around here.  His goal? "bring product design and interaction design closer together, until one day the line between them is blurred."  With pieces already on the market it looks like is on the way to doing just that. 


Much of Cooper's work perfectly in line with some of my personal interests in design. Hence me blogging about him.  


1. 3d Interfaces- His SPH3RE is absolutely beautiful and unique.  
2. Perception of Time- "This is not a Knob" is an insightful take on how we understand the world around us. Also check out his watch designs Geocentric and Lumina.
3. Cat/Fishy interaction- Too cool, Muuto Cat Dome

No Copyright? No Problem!

An amazing resource, the Internet Archive is a collection of digitized media that is no longer copyrighted. Besides Just general historical research this site is so fun just to bum around on. As far as a design aspect goes the site offers programs from world fairs, promotional videos from the last 100 years, and more. Here are some of my fav. short videos, the American Look and a great GM video showing the amazing Kitchen of the future. Watch them all and check the page as an research tool.
