I just don’t understand how anyone can be reactionary about our contemporary world, without also seeing how much possibility all of this offers to re-imagine visual communication, how little of the potential of open source technology and methodology is yet being employed in design.
- schrijver 14y agoI get super a enthousiastic, when a well known designer like Jonathan Puckey works with Jürg Lehni to create a vector graphics platform for canvas and realises it has to be open source and community driven for it to work http://paperjs.org/ http://paperjs.org/ Or when people start to put typefaces on Github for collaborative development https://github.com/klepas/open-baskerville https://github.com/klepas/open-baskerville (disclaimer: i work on this project), or when Design collectives start to work with libre toolsets http://osp.constantvzw.org/ http://osp.constantvzw.org/ (disclaimer: i work in this collective) I just see a really interesting time where the world of software technology is opening up and becoming more accessible, and designers are finally in the position to appropriate and make their own all this technological change.
