UnBeige One of the Sharpest Designs on the Block

Vibrant! Un Beige a blog of design and a creative oasis in the desert. http://www.mediabistro.com/unbeige The editors Steve Delahoyde works at an ad agency/design firm and Alissa Walker can be found on your iPod as a production assistant for the public radio show “DnA: Design and Architecture,” and, this fall, on your TiVo as a design expert on the HGTV show “Small Space, Big Style.” They have an eye for clear lines and some of the more interesting news in the world of design. They syndicate through mediabistro another great source for writers, art designers or anyone in the creative arts.

The latest entry has the latest Guinness Book of World Records announcing that Tate & Lyles’s Golden Syrup the oldest brand in the UK in existence for over 120 years. The classic gold and green labeling is recognized by nearly 86% of all shoppers.

In other entries the new Fleet Library gala opening coming on October 7 at the Rhode Island School of design is discussed. The building was completely by an alumni Nader Tehrani and transformed a Beaux Art Bank Building into a habitat for the exceptional.

In other articles Un Beige interviews designers who find the color scheme of the “terror alerts,” not people oriented and suggest various Sesame Street characters to soften the chill and counter productive impact of the stark color.

It is difficult to imagine one area of the design field, which includes just about the universe. I am fascinated by the array of contributors that offer opinions and ideas on the broad subject of design.

One such event is “Breakfast with Roger Black: Making Online Media Work.” If you are in New York or plan to be there on October 20, the cost of the seminar is only $65.
