Craftside: Election Day-It's all about sharing your opinion!

Books

Thanks for Visiting the Craftside Blog

So if you expressed your opinion and voted but you still have the itch to speak your mind- we want to hear what you have to say about a whole bunch of products.

Deconstructing Product Design is a book by William Lidwell and Gerry Manacsa, to be published by Rockport Publishers in the Fall of 2009.

However, they're going about the writing in an interesting way: they're soliciting feedback from people who've actually used the products, know something about them, or just have an experience to share. The purpose of the book "is to explore the meaning of 'good design' as it pertains to consumer products. Deconstruction here is an exploration of the form, function, and usability of these products by way of emotional response, objective analysis, and subjective commentary."

They're looking for comments on a staggeringly wide range of products from Cabbage Patch Dolls, to Vespas, and Post It Notes. If you have something to add about any of the products listed below, pop them a comment on the site.

If they select your entry for inclusion, you'll get a byline and listing in the contributor section.

Here are the products they're soliciting comments about:

I left my opinion about the Mac computer and I plan to leave a lot more!

But if you are asking where's the craft today?

I've got an Election Day/Christmas decoration for you.
I bet you haven't seen that combo before!

And I'm curious to know, what is your Christmas theme going to be this year? Leave me a comment.

Lately I am quite fond of reindeer so that might be one of my themes but I did a bird tree last year and I'm pretty sure that one will be be back.
