Fresh Dialogue 6: Friendly Fire inaugurates a bold new direction for this popular series of roundtable discussions by emerging designers. The new design is leaner and meaner -- more like a manifesto than a catalog -- and ready to inspire
The 62 is a Brooklyn-based design and art collective that works with designers, artists, and social and not-for-proit organizations on projects that involve a vision of sustainable culture within a contemporary urban environment. Crye Associates design, engineer, and fabricate everything from light switches and handheld PCs to handgun components and GP racing motorcycles. As lead contractors on the U.S. military's Project Scorpion they are reinventing everything worn or carried by a soldier.

Visual Grammar: A Design Brief
by Christian Leborg
Life in the image world has made us all voracious, if not always deliberate, consumers of visual messages. Easy access to computer graphic tools has turned many of us into either amateur or professional image producers. But without a basic understanding of visual language, a productive dialogue between producers and consumers of visual communication is impossible. Visual Grammar is both a primer on visual language and a visual dictionary of the fundamental aspects of graphic design
Dealing with every imaginable visual concept -- from abstractions such as dimension, format, and volume; to concrete objects such as form, size, color, and saturation; to activities such as repetition, mirroring, movement, and displacement; to relations such as symmetry, balance, diffusion, direction, and variation -- this book is an indispensable reference for beginners and seasoned visual thinkers alike.
