		<description><![CDATA[Food is delicious. Sure, that’s a blanket statement that hardly makes sense, but I know you’re thinking, “She’s right: food IS delicious.”
It seems only fitting to be consumed by such a thought with the most gluttonous day of the year fast-approaching, but that’s really not what has fueled my hunger.
Instead, I’m inspired by a website [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s official: Attention to the design of your annual report yields dividends, literally! The study by the University of Miami&#8217;s School of Business Administration finds that “prettying up” a company’s annual report can cause investors to place a higher value on a company.
Of course, we would go one step further than the &#8220;prettying up&#8221; referred [...]]]></description>

The complex and arcane nature of heraldry might appear to make it redundant in contemporary visual communication. Yet for branding there are lessons to be learned from blazon, the vocabulary of heraldry.

Yves Béhar was design alliance OMAha&#8217;s recent guest speaker and, in outlining his attitude to design, referenced the need for design to give people a sense of participation. He elaborated by asserting that &#8220;Participation is the new brand loyalty.&#8221; That is an intriguing thought on many levels.

The piece explores Chiquita&#8217;s public competition for designs for stickers on its bananas.

The excellent WNYC radio station program, On the Media, recently aired the conversation here between host Bob Garfield and Michael Samson, the co-founder of crowdSPRING.com.
