YCN serves as a platform from which interested parties can discover new work, share content, self-promote, find and list events, buy creative products and discover new opportunities. No, it’s not our sister site, although it could be. These guys have been around since 2001… but we just found them! Is the design world that big?
Also check out Agency YCN! It’s one big ball of creativity over there!
UPDATE: Apparently CNN removed the Simon Cowell video per a request from the Fox Network. Lame!!
FAIRspot has recently been involved with a major copyright infringement lawsuit regarding one of our latest ideas, “Design Idol”. The entire premise of the show is based on the popular American Idol, but for designers—and judged by some of the biggest names in design. We pitched a pilot to the Bravo Network (makers of Project Runway), last Fall and things were looking very promising until early this year.
In January we received a “Cease and Desist” letter from the Fox Network (makers of Idol), telling us we were legally not able to do the show. Well, we don’t give up that easy! With some help from our friends in high places (you know who you are!), we were able to score some very public exposure on some of the major news networks. The fight’s not over yet though, this is an ongoing battle and we need YOUR support!
Be sure to watch us on the Larry King LIVE show tonight! The interview has aired in some countries already but will air in the U.S. and Europe tonight. Check your local schedule. CNN will provide a website poll during the show where you can vote with your opinion. We just ask that you vote for us! Viva la FAIRspot and Design Idol!
We forgot about this great resource provided by the Design Museum. The Design Library is an amazing collection of bios and interviews with some of the greatest creative thinkers ever to have lived—and some that are still alive. This is one reference you shouldn’t pass up.
The team at Behance recently launched Behance Magazine, an online magazine focused on helping creative professionals make ideas happen. The mag features interviews of leading creative teams and tips for leadership and productivity in the creative world. Great job guys!
Brazilian designer Flavio Monteiro, aka Workaholic, recently turned us on to a personal project entitled UAILAB. Flavio states that Uailab is a design portal made with the intentions of being exclusively for design purposes. Afterall, why should a design portal be anything else? Tons of inspiring content coming from both Uailab and his personal site. Stop by and say Alô.

Wear Palettes features about 1500 different Colourlovers palettes extrapolated from The Sartorialist’s clothing pictures. This is such a great idea! Awesome!
With over 150 cutting edge individual and collaborative submissions, Revolution not only successfully marks a new era in Evoke’s near three year history, but without doubt stands tall as the benchmark above all other exhibits preceding it.
