In Design, Millimetres Matter

I chatted with Ford & Lincoln’s head designer Moray Callum, the gentleman who basically gives Ford its face.

We laughed lots, I say it’s great he’s bringing hard buttons back, turns out being an auto designer is a rather morbid job, and I asked what one thing makes him the most nuts.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

5th paragraph – Moray’s metaphor on why millimetres matter – imagine altering a face in Photoshop, 8mm here and 6mm there and woah, a totally different face is looking back at you.

Second favourite: 

Moray: You still have to design for the idiot that doesn’t wear a seat belt.

Best Bed I Ever Made

Flawless.

Figured out a new system – remove the mattress out of the frame and angle it atop it, now the corners are so easy.

I make my bed everyday. Even hotel room beds. Like literally, twice a year I don’t.

So doing the math:

365 days X 20 years = 7,300 beds made = 1 of 7,300 =
0.013% of all beds is this one

Night.

 

 

Here’s me in a Carwash Today

And that’s it.

Sorry, just don’t have the 90 minutes in me to finish these posts, I’ll do a whole fresh front page tomorrow. It wasn’t till yesterday that it sunk in – Christmas is next week… huh? Impossible. But it is. Oh time. The only non-renewable resource.

Debating taking next week off here (still will be writing at the paper), and really digging into celebrating my first holidays in my new house (a lot of jogging pants and couch.)
