Nokia has produced an E book about seven little Australians, seven Australian entrepreneurs. We were pleased to be in such great company and part of the publication. If you have the time it is a good read with lovely illustrations.
It’s a time to celebrate and of course appreciate all things design. It’s incredible how much we take so many of the things that have been designed to make our lives so simple, for granted.
Design in the words of the great Steve Jobs is..
“the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.”
This is an early drawing of our KeepCup tree, an Australian ghost gum. I particularly love the two in the centre of the roundabout beside Melbourne Cemetery.
Starbucks are giving everyone who brings a resusable cup to their stores on Earth Day, 22 April a free coffee. By 2015 Starbucks aims to produce 25% of its beverages in resuable vessels - sounds like they will need the assistance of the KeepCup users all over the world.
Happy Earth Day everyone. Be good. Do good this Friday too.
