Type Fight
Type Fight started as  a project to distract Drew Roper, Ryan Pauleand Bryan Butler from their day-to-day grind. Each week they ask two designers to create the same letter and pin them against each other in the typographic ring to battle it out for best looking character.
Mobilegs Crutches
I hope I’ll never need to use any crutches, but if I ever do, I’ll probably settle for a pair of these. Â I’ve shown them around to a few people, and each one of them who tried walking with the regular crutches, agreed that Mobilegs Crutches are superior in design. Â I found them while reading “design is everybody’s business“.
2.  Purposeful – We design to solve a problem.
When one of Herman Miller’s designers, Jeff Weber, broke his foot, he realized how awfully-designed crutches were. Not just uncomfortable, they can damage nerves, arteries, and tissue, and it’s easy to slip and cause more pain or more injury.  So he went about designing a better crutch (Mobilegs). This is a perfect example of the purposefulness that informs the company’s designs.
