Nice to see a mention to WTW in the article about indie publications business models. Connection with the readers matters, and is at the heart of the all publishing. eyeondesign.aiga.org/are-mem…

เคยฟังไอเดียเกี่ยวกับ Project นี้ผ่านๆ เมื่อหลายปีที่แล้ว จนกระทั่งได้มาคุยกับคนทำ เพิ่งรู้ว่า นี่เป็น Design Project ที่ละเอียดดีมาก เริ่ม ตั้งแต่ Typeface ที่ใช้ในหนังสือก็คือออกแบบมาสำหรับอันนี้ชื่อตัว Lava, แค่ฟอนต์ Neutral ประกอบรูป ก็ดีมากประทับใจแต่มันไม่ใช่แค่นั้น (1)

I truly believe that people are social creatures and want to help others. Sometimes, they just fail to consider consequences of their actions. A thing I learned while editing @WorksThatWork magazine is that good design/action should benefit *ALL* involved parties.

Today a customer mentioned that she could get a new hardcover book online for $15. Our mission is not to shame anyone for their shopping practices, but we do feel a responsibility to educate about what it means when a new hardcover is available for $15 online.

Design in 2018 | 4. A sad loss for design in 2018 was the closure of the brilliant Dutch design journal Works That Work. It produced ten issues over fie years, all exploring "unexpected creativity” and politically charged aspects of vernacular design. instagram.com/p/Br4prvmlux0/
