IDEA!

This would take place on the blog: a monthly survey where people submit beautiful things they see online (i'm imagining links to photos on design websites, mostly). People then get to vote on what they'd like to make most, then I figure out how to make the winning design, and we have a class.

I vote for this amazing pillow (featured on d*s) as project # 1!

BRAINSTORM!

Balls are rolling...things are in motion. That's vague, but it's all I can really say at this point. I don't know where the ball will end up, just that it's gaining momentum.

I wanted to put a few thoughts down, because what better place to do so?

Multi-project themed courses
