Here is a competition that you probably trained for back in middle school when any blank surface was a possible medium for your rebellious artistic streak. In fact you might even have answered this brief exactly: apply your own style to a pair of Chuck Taylors. The difference now is that instead of getting in trouble with mom or the authorities you might win a trip to Converse! Check it out here.

The name may be vintage 80’s, but the design is from today. And teens aren’t the only ones who’ll appreciate the interior designs in this book. I have friends with teens and as the book asserts; “when kids hit the teenage years, a new challenge is born in the life of the family home and the home’s current layout may need radical readjusting-and new issues, from controlling noise to allowing privacy, arise.”. Those parents updated rooms in their home that, yes, were teen friendlier, but mostly made the parents happy. Teen Zone will no doubt make teens + parents MoCo design fans happy as it goes about suggesting ideas for games zones, dens and media rooms (as well as bedrooms, family spaces, and even a section on self-contained living for kids who’ve finished school, but haven’t yet flown the nest). Paperback, 160 pages, 250 color photographs, $29.79 at Amazon.
Mark your calendars: from May 21 - June 1, 2008, students receiving master’s degrees from Rhode Island School of Design [RISD] will be on view at the Rhode Island Convention Center in RISD’s Annual Graduate Thesis Exhibition. As a bonus, RISD will offer a web-based gallery of audio, moving and still imagery of students’ work (goin’ live May 20!). Supplemented by artist’s statements, the virtual gallery will offer a sneek peek into the minds of the creators. Multiply that by the 120 students receiving MA degrees this year and…..oof! that’s one long conversation!
