What is BD4D?

BD4D stands for By Designers for Designers. Our mission is to 'create a corporate-free, creative, designers' collective that will encourage and inspire new media designers around the world.'

It's obvious to us that there is a major lack of real-life interaction between creative people around the world. There is no scheduled time where artists and designers can relax, meet new people, and talk about what they really love: creativity. So we thought we would make time.

BD4D feels strongly that there is a powerful reason behind the drive to create, and we're not talking about getting a higher wage. BD4D is about having the freedom to talk about those deep motivations and ideas in a non-threatening environment. However, BD4D is also committed to steering clear of becoming an exclusive designer club. BD4D is for the people, by the people ... By Designers for Designers.

To keep up to date with all things BD4D sign up to the mailing list. Simply enter your email in the field below and hit Submit. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" text at the bottom of each Newsletter.

BD4D is always looking for fresh people to present at events. If you're doing something that you feel breaks the mould, pushes creative boundaries, or is just plain amazing, please get in contact.

Generally, he who occupies the field of battle first and awaits his enemy is at ease; he who comes later to the scene and rushes into the fight is weary. And therefore those skilled in war bring the enemy to the field of battle and are not brought there by him. -Sun Tzu -The Art of War-

Starbucks Invasion PROTEST

Mon, 22 May 2006 19:36:16 GMT

clipper's remarks: The jam was meant to instigate, to irritate, but to do so inconspicuously. The copy is mildly ironic because it mimics the expression, "I love a good cup of coffee" and loyal Starbucks patrons might not even catch the significance of the word "invasion" thinking the jam just another advertisement.

Clip Source: www.areyougeneric.org

« Starbucks Invasion / At 8:30 am, on July 9, 2002, we embarked on our first premeditated and deliberate culture jam. Our target was an upcoming Starbucks Coffee, the fourth on Lincoln Road -- a 7-block pedestrian mall located in South Beach, Miami. Beyond the obvious overabundance of 4 Starbucks within 7 blocks of each other, the site was chosen because of it is a high foot-traffic area, giving us greater possibility of effect. We spray mounted the construction wall directly adjacent to the property with 11" x 17" sheets of paper – together they formed a life size (6 ft. high) silhouette of a man drinking coffee, looking at the “Brewing Soon" Starbucks sign, with a caption that reads "I love a good Starbucks invasion."

The jam was meant to instigate, to irritate, but to do so inconspicuously. The copy is mildly ironic because it mimics the expression, "I love a good cup of coffee" and loyal Starbucks patrons might not even catch the significance of the word "invasion" thinking the jam just another advertisement.

Life-size silhouette printed on 11x17 paper and spray mounted on the construction wall of a new starbucks.
