Inspirations...from Gravity Free

Posted byLaura

The more you are limited, the more it makes you think ... Chip Kidd
Design is the greatest differentiator for brands ... Karim Rashin
The past is a continual stimulus for the future ... Massimo Vignelli
This was a problem aching to be solved ... Deborah Adler
There have been many experiments ... Theo Jansen

The above statements were what resonated with me from the speakers on Day 2. What sound bite stayed with you?

So it's Day #2 at Gravity Free and the topics and speakers are as diverse and provocative as ever. The passion is undeniable and refreshing, but it is the unwavering commitment to their vision ... almost a sense of risk to their discipline ... that is truly inspiring.

The video shows the ULTRA cool kinetic sculptures and mobility mapping from Theo Jansen. Everyone was blown away with what he's done with "ordinary" items and the pushing of boundaries. As Theo said, there have been many experiments and many years to get to where he is ... check it out!

Bob Gruen might be the king of rock 'n' roll photography, but he's the prince of one liners as well. You gotta love these. "I live with fear, but I'm not scared." "He was a mess, but he knew how to express it." "A dangerous mind is one that thinks for itself." Based on my conversations with attendees, this is a decidedly dangerous conference. But neither Bob nor I are scared.

A place where creative folks and clients, account people and strategists gather to discuss Live Communications and its singular ability to create deeper, more meaningful relationships between

customers and brands.

So pull up your keyboard and raise a few questions, share some ideas, provide a little inspiration. Oh, yeah... and get comfortable. After all, it's your place.
