hyped garbage

Don't Believe the Hype

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I went 30 years without a TV and one of the first shows on Netflix that I watched after getting one was Abstract. Very high quality designers were featured so I thought I'd found a show that I could turn to to watch on a regular basis. Then it was discontinued. I still lament that and wish that whoever was producing, directing, writing the show would do it again. There are so few options in the art and design field. If the powers that be are reading this, please know that you would have a following if enough time were given to the show to get the word out.

The quality is mediocre. The story telling is the vulgar myth building and even if it is a very usual way of telling stories, the creators do not excel at it.Overall it's trivia plus misunderstandings from people with limited education. Take the second episode. One man qualified in making pretty drawings and very qualified shoe makers do some shoes. They are pretty. They are comfortable. That is undeniable. But step any way further away and one steps into superstitious crap. There are no doctors in the team, no physicists, no biologists. Because the performance increase comes from the comfort and not from any performance babble. And just because a famous ball player wore these shoes and got paid a huge amount of money, that does not mean Regular Joe won't sprain an ankle in the exact same pretty shoe. The ball player might have an excellent game bare footed, because he is the blonde with big boobs using a power drill in the advert.Short: nice to hear those people talk, even if they have no idea what they are talking about.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

The episode featuring Tinker Hatfield of NIKE was great because Tinker is a living legend. His contributions to design innovation over his illustrious career have left a strong legacy.However, in the episode about all his innovations I have to correct the part about him designing the University of Oregon brand. When the branding was created in 1998 Tinker wasn't involved in the process, he took over the brand a few years after it was created and elevated it to where it is today.The original brand was created by myself and a designer named Michael Scheible. Neither one of us were given much credit and the time or in the years since. That's not how NIKE operates. It's never about the individual, it's about the team.If you want to know the real story about how the U of O brand was created you can read my post that shows various stages of the development process: http://bit.ly/29F7SQcIt's disappointing a show like Abstract, which is meant to celebrate great artists, can't give credit to the artists who did the work.Other than that, it's a great show that features some incredible people.
