The gentlemen behind design less better are busy hammering out the nuances of ethical design.

Here at arctic oak, we are happy to let them do so and occasionally grift an awesome image or glean an interesting idea. ( Just so you know where we stand in the ethics debate, it is pretty squarely in the grifting and gleaning camp.)

As General Mills stands ready to roll out their retro design, nick senske ruminates on the intent of the throwback and what the design evolution says about modern culture to good effect.

Also, I have quietly enjoyed design less better’s logo for quite some time.

If you are of the less is more philosophy, you might enjoy blogLESS - meditations on restraint and design from the guys behind design less better.
