DesignAday

My name is Jack Moffett. I am an Interaction Designer with over ten years of experience. According to Herb Simon, that makes me an expert, so I must have something worth sharing. I have started this venture as an exercise to spur critical thinking about my chosen profession. I hope that others may find it thought provoking as well.

DesignAday will present a brief thought about Design every weekday.

Motion

The tiny, blue flowers are on long, slender stems with long leaves, all reaching towards the light. Even in the stillness of a photograph, they scream motion.

Idiot Tags

I love idiot tags. You know what I’m talking about: the labels, signs, and other message holders that tell you not to do things that you would never do anyway. Common sense makes them redundant. And yet, you know that many of them exist because somebody actually did do it, and the rest of us have to put up with the inane messages. I’m sure lawyers are to blame for a fair share of them. This is one I noticed while waiting on my coworker to get our Hertz rental car at the Hartford airport. When I read it, I burst out laughing, imagining somebody actually trying to drive around with the idiot tag hanging there.
