As a three-week-old blog, we receive thousands of emails. Mostly these are from people trying to sell us medications, but some are from people who love design and love designers and love things that are designed and love DesignWorld! They applaud us for our courage and passion for bringing design —and things about design— to people who read blogs. We mustered some of our vaunted courage to share a few with you:
DesignWorld! I love the exclamation point! The exclamation point has received a lot of unnecessarily negative press over the years which is not fair. The exclamation point is not overly emotive, it is the people who use them. I use them because people can’t see all of my body language when I write so the exclamation point lets the reader know I am excited! If you really want to see me get excited you should do a whole blog on punctuation!

DW!: ok.
Dear DesignWorld! This blog is so great. Would you like me to make a logo for DesignWorld!?
—Samuel
DW!: No thanks. We are currently planning right now an upcoming “Design a Logo for DesignWorld! Global Branding Competition” competition here on the DesignWorld! site. Look for details in upcoming blogs. All we know right now is that there will be no prizes and it costs $1,475 (Canadian) for each entry, and that the name of the competition is “Design A Logo For DesignWorld! Global Branding Competition.” If you would like to be a judge send us your picture and we will let you know.
Dear Editors of DesignWorld! I stumbled onto your blog and now I am hooked. It is ‘awesome’ is the only word I can use to describe it. What me and my friends would really like to see is a story on designers’ homes and where they live. It is so inspiring when we see people who really think they are great living in really cool amazing modern homes that cost a lot of money it makes us believe in ourselves and our thinking of ourselves as really great will pay off. So that would be cool for you to do (are there any in Portland Oregon? because that is where we live too).
DW!: The “Portland Oregon: How Cool Can A Place On Earth Be?” (Similar to the title of a series of blogs we are planning around Iceland. Get it?) DesignWorld! blog Special Feature! is planned for the near future –-watch for it. And we will continue to think about doing our housing Series that we are thinking about called something like, “This Is My Designer House. See? That’s My Eames Chair.” Watch for that too.
