Pentagram’s Michael Bierut comments on The National Design Award Communication Design winners’ political statement to theWhite House in his Design Observer article. The article is well worth the read as it gives the briefest of overviews regarding American politics and design.

The whole CommD declining the invitation is an interesting, if not empty, gesture, to be sure. My favorite take on the controversy is Michael’s note:

“What we have here, then, is a symbolic protest to a symbolic event.”

BAM! Ouch! Served!

I came across this link through my research and read a few of Mark Prensky’s articles. He has some great insight and ideas as to the future of video games and gaming in Education, and honestly, I would love to see more game companies targeting these areas.
Marc certainly has a way with words and his writings cover everything from the way that children think to learnign in the military… yet all his essays and writings have an educational undertone.
Not dull and dry at all, and a good read on a sunday afternoon, I give these articles two thumbs up…
