Don’t be a stranger over summer, keep the conversations going by visiting Design Assembly and commenting on the blog posts. See you at the March event.

 
 

Skate Cards from Germany

European markets are a great place to find goodies like this pack of skate cards. A Friend discovered these in Germany. Bring back game cards… especially pre-2000 skateboarding ones, and mustard yellow t-shirts.

We look forward to trying some of these moves this summer… after a few beers of course!

 
 

How do you make work…fun?

At endemicworld.com we do all sorts of stuff to make our work space fun. Lots of art, make paper toys, stick green tea packets all over the walls, take photos, crank the tunes, play hacky, share your favourite website, blog, drink loads of coffee and talk as fast as you can about the collest thing you just discovered…  These guys play with sticky notes. What do you do?

Are you a freelance/contract designer?

If your a contractor or freelance designer then you need to check out this new local site that has just launched.

‘Crackerjacks’ – which takes the hassles out of contract recruitment – is set to crack open New Zealand’s contracting market.

Frustrated by the downsides of hiring contractors himself, experienced business manager Tony Wai has created ‘Crackerjacks’ to make it easier for Kiwis to embrace the contracting trend.

The website provides a marketplace where contractors and businesses can meet: Employers seek talent from registered ‘Crackerjacks’ who in turn, receive the tools they need to manage and get great contracts.

Whats cooler is its completely free for contractors. Check it out.

Robots…a good way to re-use cardboard

This was spotted by Kate on a trip to Lyttelton, Christchurch. If this monster cardboard robot is yours….nice work and keep it up. Hopefully this inspires you all to look at and use cardboard differently.

 
 

Sticker Car

Photographed by Bob Nelson in the streets of Italy recently. An old art form with a new canvas. Now known as auto-decoupage. Without the varnish and the bad scissor finish. What would Man Ray have done with a Hummer?
