Designing Through The Times

Today is October 11, 2012, also referred to as 10/11/12. A numerical sequence in fact. The last time such an event happened was on September 10, 2011 (09/10/11) and after today it will happen again on November 12, 2013 (11/12/13) and then on December 13, 2014 (12/13/14). But after 2014, it will not happen again until the year 2103.

Is this very significant to daily life? Not necessarily, but it definitely peaks the interests of a decent amount of people around the world. It's a day to look forward to for some, especially if your birthday happens to fall on one of these days. It's also a way for people to notice how time goes by, and what time in general can mean to an individual.

Time always relates to design...there are so many different styles of design that have occurred throughout the years. Plenty of differentiation exists between various decades of design influences. And the design practices of today still use influences from previous years of design expression. So today I decided to celebrate 10/11/12 by taking the change of time quite literally.
