American Airlines fires a passionate UX designer
November 5, 2009 @ 6:25 pm
Back in May of this year, I posted about a wonderful redesign project by Dustin Curtis who took it upon himself to redesign the American Airlines website. Dustin’s reasons for doing this were to hopefully inspire American Airlines to do something about their barely usable site and to generally give them a better online presence in the midst of competition from people like JetBlue (who have a great online website).
As the story goes, Dustin was then contacted by somebody — Mr. X, as he is known — who worked at American Airlines and wanted to clear the air with some knowledge of how the design process works at AA.
Well, Mr. X volunteered that information and then AA fired him for apparently breaking a non-disclosure agreement which is unfortunate because Mr. X seemed pretty passionate about what he did at AA in his letter to Dustin.
I’m not going to go into who was right or wrong here, but I hope American Airlines gets over their red tape and thinks about what they’ve just done.

Russian design studio Transformer Studio designed this wonderful coffee cup for La Strada cafe. I wish my local deli carried coffee cups as good looking as this.
Head on over to the Transformer Studio website to see the entire La Strada design concept.

Behind the scenes at CXXVI
October 28, 2009 @ 2:48 am
Limited Hype has a nice little behind-the-scenes look at clothing and design company CXXVI (”OneTwentySix“) owned by Matt Gorton and Jon Contino.
You may remember that I posted something briefly about CXXVI earlier this month and now it’s cool to see what they’re all about and how they hand-make just about everything in their line.
50 Years of MINI

50 YEARS OF MINI from one pound pictures on Vimeo.
I’ve never driven a MINI before, but after watching this video, I’m convinced that sitting behind the wheel of one might just change my life. And if it doesn’t, I’m pretty sure I’d still like it.
Deal of the Day!
