I've always wanted to see iA Writer on posters in the streets of Zurich. This week we took a few days to make a draft. What do you think?
They are inspired by the VW bug ads from Ogilvy. I think they work as posters as well as magazine ads (magazine ads are not gonna happen though).

Really enjoyed @reichenstein.bsky.social‘s thoughtful and entertaining talk at #smashingconf today! Amazing to see how philosophical ideas influenced the design of iA’s apps and what designers can and could learn from philosophy – and vice versa. A lot of food for thought!

Design awards usually go to what’s new. But here’s the paradox: The only way to tell if a design is really good is if it stands the test of time.
So getting picked after 15 years is good news for good design. For ideas that hold up. For products built to last.

Cleaning up the website for iA's 20th anniversary this year. Almost through all the illustrations. About 20 are missing and some are still lame. We will go through all of them and fix tagging, categorization and formatting, too. Try to find hi res images, where available. Taking care.

He created a timelapse spanning 24 h that has a focal point in the sky rather than on the ground.
