Name of line: Pixel Burst
Designer: Yves Behar
What was your inspiration?
Burst of creativity, of self-expression and ideas is what drives us as creatives, so,
how does this idea get expressed in a simple visual? We took a literal pattern of
an explosion, and reduced it to square pixels...the offsets and size variations
creating an abstract, yet recognizable shape of a burst. The resulting drawing is
reminiscent of a bright light-spot, a sun...squint your eyes, and the abstract shapes
become something bright and optimistic.
Why is it important for you to give back?
I have invested a lot of creative energy and fuseproject studio time in the idea that
design can make a difference: beyond the value we create for enterprises and for
the users, it is the VALUES we create that have long term impact. This approach
has resulted in a few civic projects that we have invested in such as the One
Laptop Per Child (100$ laptop) with Nicholas Negroponte, and the New York City
Condom and dispensers we have done for the department of Health of NY. Design
has a democratizing power, as designers we need to use that power.
