I was looking at the The Design Observer Group today and saw an article that was amazing. I have not checked in on this website as much, where as the next website I talk about the Logo one, are things I always enjoy. This blog site contains many things that do not interest me, but I will give a look just to see what its about and read what people have said. Occasionally I will post a bog usually commenting on other peoples works instead of the work itself. I found the most magnificent photos today. This is a direct quote from the website in a blog "By Adam Harrison Levy
Close to a decade ago, in Watertown, Massachusetts, a man was walking his dog on a rainy evening when, amidst the garbage, he caught sight of a battered suitcase — full of photographs of a bombed out Hiroshima. Tomorrow, August 6th, marks the 64th anniversary of Hiroshima. On this occasion, we present a unique slide show of 100 photographs from the ground in the days after the bombing", here are some of the photos. While looking at this I was in complete awww!!. This website is trying to provide design from all aspects. Chaos and destruction is a process of design. Look at Hiroshima now instead of in 1945. I may start looking at this website more now.

The mission for the website is to show all of the new advertisements companies are using through logos. I have been following this site since we first started class. I have seen all of the new commercials and ideas for things a week before I will see them on television or hear some one talking about it. The most interesting article that was posted I thought happened to be an interview with Paul Rand. This was the third and I would assume final part was the end to his creativity through expressing it in an interview. He is known for his IBM computers, UPS shipping, and ABC television among with many other iconic logos that he had created. I liked how he answered his questions so calmly. He is not very well known but he should be. The overall view of the entire website would be to mention the new ideas and have people comment on the newer stuff usually but things can be post dated back such as this one. This website has even branched out enough to have their own twitter blog account. http://twitter.com/LogoDesignLove I currently just found out about this and am not sure if I want an email every time someone post something.
