Designing the Next Generation of Condom Packaging
What can condoms teach us about design, creativity, and entrepreneurship in a field where innovation faces a regulatory roadblock? Turns out, quite a lot. Because when you all but can’t change the actual product, you’re forced to rethink everything around it.
The problem is clear: There is a real need to make a next generation condom that is easier to use, stigma-free and more visually appealing, but the product is tightly controlled by government guidelines. And the cost of trying to rethink the product itself is like playing high stakes poker with a buy in that is out of reach for most people.

Meet the Boy Behind the Design of HBO’s Girls Titles
Author James Cartwright takes a look at the logo process for the TV series GIRLS . . . in this article he writes :
Unlike many of its contemporaries, Girls always starts with a bang, forgoing the drawn-out, cinematic title sequences favored by True Blood, True Detective, and plenty of other shows that don’t have the word “True” in the title. It uses the title card as a sting to articulate a punchline—usually the crescendo to a discussion riddled with angst and ennui. Its strength lies in its immediacy, and seamless integration into the flow of the episode, all of which is the responsibility of Howard Nourmand, of Los Angeles studio Grand Jeté.

Coming up With Crazy Ideas (Just Like Albert Einstein)
Bryan Collins, Author of The Power of Creativity, gets those mental juices flowing with this . . .
What would happen if a professional athlete stopped training for an event because they were tired of their sport? What happens to the writer who waits for inspiration to arrive? She doesn’t write at all. Look, you and I know writing is hard work. It’s demanding and time-consuming, and it requires you to sit in one place and concentrate for extended periods of time.
