Derek
Ricky Gervais' latest series Derek has quietly slipped in under the radar, but I would highly recommend that you get out there and check it out. Centered around it's title character Derek Noakes; a possibly autistic care worker in a home for the elderly, it is possessed of the same tropes, actors and characters that Gervaisophiles have come to love, but is also simultaneously, very different.
The humour is as clever and awkward as ever but it is used sparingly. It is the drama that stands at the fore and stands out. The character of Derek is handled beautifully and without malice, as is the plight of both the elderly and the centre.
It is something of a special and emotional journey that is well worth the effort (and might even draw a tear from even the coldest of hearts).
The Designer Says
From the book The Designer Says featured on Co. Design some inspiring words of wisdom from some of the worlds greatest designers...
"The nature of process, to one degree or another, involves failure. You have at it. It doesn’t work. You keep pushing. It gets better. But it’s not good. It gets worse. You got at it again. Then you desperately stab at it, believing “this isn’t going to work.” And it does!"
Saul Bass
"It is important to use your hands. This is what distinguishes you from a cow or a computer operator."
Paul Rand
"I have a bunch of calendars I used before I went digital. Every once in a while, I’ll open up one from 1991 and look at all the names and appointments and things that, at the time, seemed so important. Meetings that I was really worried about, things that I was getting calls four times a day about, and I wonder, “Where did it all go? Where are they now?” It’s so strange, everything has disappeared. The only thing that stays behind is the work."
Michael Bierut
"My work is play. And I play when I design. I even looked it up in the dictionary, to make sure that I actually do that, and the definition of “play,” number one, was “engaging in a childlike activity or endeavor,” and number two was “gambling.” And I realize I do both when I’m designing."
Paula Scher
"My dream is to have people working on useless projects. These have the germ of new concepts."

Strip Search
Prolific (and one of my favourite) Webcomics Penny Arcade have began a their very own 'reality series' looking for the next big Webcomic artist!
In 2011, the Creators (a.k.a. Mike and Jerry) declared to the Penny Arcade office that a reality show based on webcomics must be done. After a year of research and a successful Kickstarter stretch goal (thank you!), the stage had been set for 12 Artists flown from around the world to compete for $15,000 in cash and a year integrated into the Penny Arcade machine. Through a variety of events and challenges, these 12 will fight, claw, write, and draw until only one Artist remains. Friends may or may not be made.
