The Frank Chimero Experience So, I promised that earlier this week that I’ll do a more detailed post about the Frank Chimero talk I went to as part of the Portable Talks series for 2012. Instead of rambling on about how amazing the experience was, I whipped up a little illustration based on some of my favourite parts of the talk.  I got a copy of Frank’s book - ‘The Shape of Design’ on the day, which was entirely funded by his Kickstarter project. You can get a glimpse of the first chapter here: http://frankchimero.com/ It’s not a pretty picture book but rather, one that I think designers (all creatives in fact) would be able to benefit from - how to reach that higher level of thinking to create better designs. I can’t wait to see the next project Frank Chimero got up his sleeves! High-res

Frank Chimero @ Portable Talks 

So, I’m still feeling the buzz from Frank Chimero’s inspirational presentation tonight. There were so many points raised at tonight’s talk that I can really relate to. I’ll be doing another more detailed ‘Meeting Frank Chimero Experience’ blog post later on this week.

I had the opportunity to meet Frank after the talk (he’s so incredibly humble & down-to-Earth like you won’t believe!) and we had a bit of a laugh over this particular quote. Now I know there are more of us out there :)
