(<a href=\"http:\/\/extraordinary.thepodcastnetwork.com\/2007\/07\/01\/the-extraordinary-everyday-lives-show-029-roy-blumenthal\/\">The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show #029 &#8211; Roy Blumenthal<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m basically open sourcing my thinking, and inviting the internet community to offer me their thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>This is my very first grappling with the concept.<\/p>\n<p>Dave&#8217;s brief is fairly simple. He wants the Lifekludger logo to evoke the idea that things can be converted from their original purpose to make the lives of dis- or differently-abled people easier.<\/p>\n<p>One of his missions in the world is to generate change in the way things and environments are designed. He&#8217;s a quadriplegic in Australia. And to him, access equals community. Denial of access equals enforced isolation. When an architect or designer makes something that is fundamentally unnavigable by a disabled person, that architect or designer is actively isolating the disabled person.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll get deeper into his brief in another post. And I&#8217;ll also talk a bit about my thinking.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, this is the first idea. And as all designers and inventors and writers know, the first right idea is not necessarily the one to go with. It&#8217;s important to generate many ideas. Some have to be crap. Some will shine. But it&#8217;s essential not to be too critical (positive OR negative). Cos that stems the idea flow.<\/p>\n<p><i>This sketch was scamped up in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambientdesign.com\/artrage.html\">ArtRage 2.5<\/a> on my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet pc after a long bath.<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
