Advertisement No matter where you go in the known universe, there is design-by-committee. It has become a pecking order of disaster for the society that used to pride itself on being a mover and shaker and that allowed its mavericks and dreamers to innovate their way to success. In a business climate fueled by fear and the “Peter Principle,” as it is today, a decision not made is a tragedy averted.

So, decision by committee provides a safe and often anonymous process for finger-pointing down the line… inevitably leading to the creative, of course. Why It Happens Wikipedia describes it thus: The Peter Principle is the principle that “in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.” Sooner or later they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their “level of incompetence”), and there they remain, being unable to earn further promotions. Whether on staff or freelance, we all walk into meetings prepared for our work to be torn to shreds. Container List. Design inspiration from around the world. 100/100 by SB Studio 100/100 is an exhibition of 100 beer labels designed by 100 contributors. Curated by SB Studio in aid of Art Fund. “In early 2013 we set about planning a series of not-for-profit projects that challenge the norm.

Like most agencies our business is built on collaboration, and this forms the foundation of our first project. 100/100 is a live collaborative experiment between the public and a carefully selected group of 100 artists, illustrators, designers and writers whose work we admire. Our friends at The Liverpool Craft Beer Co. have brewed us our very own beer. In December we asked the public to help name our beer. 100 bottles, 100 names, 100 collaborators, 100 unique identities.” Display | Modern Graphic Design Collection and Rare Graphic Design Books.
