Copyright and fair use principles done as a Disney mashup

I found this great video on James F. McGrath’s blog Explor­ing Our Matrix. It is a pretty funny and good round up of copy­right and fair use prin­ci­ples and prac­tices as explained in a Dis­ney mash-up. The peo­ple who made this mash-up did a smash-up job!

Copy­right is one of the top­ics that every designer must know and mas­ter, this clever video is a good way to start.

The role of intuition in design with David Carson

Any­one inter­ested in the process of design should watch this great lec­ture from design leg­end David Car­son from the TED con­fer­ence in 2003. His lec­ture is enti­tled “Design, Dis­cover and Humor.” In it Car­son brings us this great quote from none other than Albert Ein­stein, which nicely sums up the role of intu­ition and inspi­ra­tion in design…

The intel­lect has lit­tle to do on the road to dis­cov­ery. There comes a leap in con­scious­ness, call it Intu­ition or what you will, the solu­tion comes to you and you don’t know how or why.” — Albert Einstein
