Michael Wolff: Don’t Trust Your Experience

At Design Indaba, Michael Wolff spoke about how to exercise your idea-creating capacity by first getting rid of your ideas. He also told great stories from his time with Wolff Olins and after, about the importance of language in design and some of the “little creatures” that have made their way into much of his work. Here are some of our favorite lines, though we encourage you to watch and choose your own.

On editorial design:

“When I hear the word ‘copy’ I always shudder, because it has implicit in it that language is just something you have to make a shape of. But language is a critical part of what we do.”

On simplicity in language:

In one scenario, there were “thousands of forms that were like the top one: ‘GIVE DETAILS OF ALL OTHER PERSONS RESIDING IN THE RENTED ACCOMMODATION WHICH YOU ACTUALLY OCCUPY OTHER THAN YOURSELF AND YOUR HUSBAND’ we asked 10 people ‘What does it mean?’ and they said ‘they’re trying to get us out of our accommodation.’ So, we changed it to ‘Who else lives with you?’

On the Shell logo:

“The colors had drifted off into bloodclot red and lemon orange and so we just warmed the colors up. Sometimes that’s all you have to do. Leave something alone. Then I started the conversation with the chairman of Shell saying ‘why do you say Shell on shell?’ and he said ‘You’re right, do you know how long it’s going to take me to get the word Shell off the shell?’ I said ‘no’ and he said ‘five years.’”

On other things:

“The wheel has existed for 8,000 years. How come we only put it on a suitcase 30 years ago?”

“What you must do with a great idea is immediately throw it away because otherwise you won’t exercise your idea-creating capacity. Just keep throwing them away because you’re going to get more and more of them.”

“I mistrust my experience in terms of using my imagination; it’s going to miscolor it, try to dominate it.”

Simple timepieces by Uniform Wares. (@uniformwares @capsuleshow)

The understated precision of a man’s details is what makes him sharp, stylish, and cool. I love a big face watch, but there are so many wonderful benefits from being bold in other ways. A beautiful red strap pops an outfit when the watch band slides out from under the cuff of a nice oxford shirt with a suit. Clean and easy does not detract from style.

3D and 4G

Two abbreviations to watch this year: 3D and 4G.

They encapsulate two technologies that are just starting to go mainstream. These technologies won’t reach everyone straight away, but by the end of the decade they’ll be shaping our lives. They’ll be changing the game for thousands of businesses. And they pose some big questions about the future of branding.

Branding is for cows, stories are for people

That was one of the real gems from the Brand New conference in SFO last week, a thought from Bruce Mau’s studio shared by Paddy Harrington. I love their thinking, their philosophy, their design and their modesty.

5 Principles of Brand Experience

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:43:34 +0900

wolffolinsblog:

In a world where Brands are no longer defined by positioning but their roles in peoples lives, the experience that a Brand creates and curates though it’s products and services is fundamental to the sustainability of the business. Most peer-to-peer recommendation is based on experience - our perception, the emotional take out of interacting with products and services - if the experience fails, then so does the Brand. So how do we design the end-to-end Experience? How do we support the role of the Brand in the world? The following is presented as a set of principles and questions that brands should consider when designing this system.

The modern Brand Experience should be: Ubiquitous, Social, Semantic, Sentient and Human.

My tailor always makes fun of me, in an endearing way, about how detail oriented I am. I’ll come back to him with the same piece if it doesn’t feel precise, and we’ll get to re-editing it. That is detail with respect to fit (mostly), but today I’m here because I’m excited about detail in…

Roman Flügel - Desperate Housemen EP (Live at Robert Johnson)

Following on from the lush ‘How To Spread Lies’ EP on Dial, Roman Flügel continues in his impeccable style this time with timeless synth-heavy house. ‘Dishes & Wishes’ and ‘Mulish Crease’ plucking out nonchalant melodies, ‘Iron Curtain’ casually bleeping and soaring and the retro-charm of ‘Lovedancing’. Brill.
