Hello Notes on Design readers!
As always, the design industry has continued its rapid evolution over the last few weeks. While in Web design large online retailers like Amazon are taking bold steps towards appealing to the growing tablet-based online consumer market, the printing industry is witnessing a move by Epson to make in-house printing widely available to already existing small creative firms and Wacom released it’s new Inkling Pen to change the way we take our sketches digital.
We also took a look at some of the graphic design involved in NY’s Fashion Week’s invitations, and took a few minutes to wonder if monkeys can be advertised to using graphic design.
As always, can keep in contact with us on Twitter and Facebook.
Cheers!

With New York Fashion Week ending last Thursday, we want to reflect on the countless hours of dedication it takes to put an iconic event like this into motion. While fashion designers are clearly the highlight of the show, graphic designers also play a key role in creating a lasting impression of the event.

Monkey Advertising
by NoD
What if someone were to tell you that captive monkeys can understand money, and even behave like humans in economic conditions?
After hearing Laurie Santos, a Yale University primatologist, give a TED talk saying just this, New York ad executives Keith Olwell and Elizabeth Kiehner's next question was obvious. Can monkeys be advertised to?
