“Moving fast enables us to build more things and learn faster. However, as most companies grow, they slow down too much because they’re more afraid of making mistakes than they are of losing opportunities by moving too slowly. We have a saying: “Move fast and break things.” The idea is that if you never break anything, you’re probably not moving fast enough.”

THE BLIND BARBER

I love how things are going back to the more simpler times. I think the art of the barber shop is one of those things that has been overlooked. That was until Jonathan showed me this site.

They have everything from the cut and shave to the classic cocktails. But honestly I think their statement on the site explains it best.

The Blind Barber is a return to the “Roaring Twenties”. Defined by the explosion of culture and its break from tradition, the “Roaring Twenties” was a movement in creativity. The Blind Barber hopes to revive this very movement while redefining modern manhood. The concept goes well beyond cuts, shaves and cocktails within a barbershop and lounge, but rather expands into all realms of the modern gentleman: Fashion, Music, Lifestyle, Grooming and others.

We hope to create an identity that will cultivate personalities; a brand and place where creatives come to be inspired as well as inspire others.

Not only a great note on a portfolio site but also for your blog.
It is always best to design so the content is the main focus.

“In his system called Snippets, employees receive a weekly email asking them to write down what they did last week and what they plan to do in the upcoming week.”

- Silicon Valley’s Productivity Secret

Recently I have been on a major search to find the key to being as productive as possible at work. Other than my 25-45min burst of knocking out a todo item I think this will be perfect.

I will continue to write about what I find on my search to being more productive and creative.

It interesting watching brands navigate their way onto Tumblr. The ones that do well clearly understand the unique culture behind the Tumblr community. Brands and everyone on Tumblr should take these guidelines for posting to heart in this order (Source - Seth Godin | The TED imperatives):

Be interested.
Be generous.
Be interesting.
Connect.

As a bonus they did a fantastic job customizing our Style Hatch premium theme Juuvy. Other brands that we have noticed who are doing great job on Tumblr and using one of our themes:

The Ajax Experience

Commissioned by the 100 year-old Ajax Amsterdam football club, Sid Lee Architecture in collaboration with gsmprjct° created a truly immersive fan experience for the legendary team.

Walking into the museum you go through the hall of “Giants” visualizing the important club members and glorious moments. Through the hall you travel into The Ajax Academy filled with multimedia rooms and interactive training areas. Once you have practiced your technique and speed hear an inspiring speech from the club’s coach and head into the stadium to hear the roar of the crowd.

Video Walkthrough & Experience

Apparently I’m a fan of Sid Lee’s work since this is the third time I have posted one of their projects. They certainly deserve the recognition. Also see Bota Bota and Redbull Amsterdam HQ.

staff:

Tumblr gives you complete control over all aspects of your blog, and once you know some HTML, you can make them look pretty much any way you want! On the other hand, many of us would rather benefit from the skills of the thousands of brilliant designers whose work is featured in the Tumblr Theme Garden.

The top themes of 2011 were…

The Minimalist

The Style Hatch theme Inspire Well is the most popular premium theme on Tumblr!

Mediocre designers should be worried

Mediocre designers should be worried:

I think that social blogging platforms like Tumblr may see a huge growth in 2012. Your designs are helping lead the way in responsive and more customisable themes.

I no longer believe in web designers taking thousands of pounds to design a small biz web presence. Social is doing more to drive…

An excerpt of a Style Hatch support email we got earlier today. Small businesses need for expensive, custom designed online presence is declining as more of them turn to platforms like Tumblr, Virb, Squarespace and others.

Highly skilled and strategic web designers and studios will always deliver value to small businesses, but mediocre designers should be worried.
