Can't find this on the list, but I loved this video of Aaron Draplin working through a new logo design:

If you sign up, you can submit it directly and get the credit for it :) If you don't want to, let me know and I'll just add it myself :)

Also check out http://designers.watch - very nice, curated collection of design-related documentaries.

51 Design Documentaries

It's an excellent list. Most designers will have seen many of these already.

You actually counted, I'm impressed!

I counted the ones that I had seen. Then counted the ones I hadn't.

Hey nrjames, you appear to have submitted that docu to the Design repo, and not the designDocumentaries repo. Is this intentional?

That looks like a great list of documentaries. I might watch few of them this weekend. The website could use ngCloak though as the angular expressions flash for a sec or two before the actual data loads.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it on to the backend dev. I agree, the flash annoys me.

Great resource! The scrolling is weird on mobile safari. May be missing some -webkit-overflow: touch to the scrolling element.

@mildrenben - I see its your site so just a heads-up that the font rendering on rrrepo is really poor on Win7 Firefox.
link
mildrenben 3976 days ago
I am aware of that, and I have tried everything I can to fix it, but nothing works.

We're looking into other fonts now to make Firefox a better experience, as right now it isn't that great.

There are other things we need to fix on Firefox too, which we will be fixing over the next couple weeks.

I really appreciate the intuitive UX here, that (almost) every title links to a streaming copy of the film.

Scrolling this page is frustrating in iOS Safari, as inertial scrolling seems to be disabled or broken.

@mildrenben Great work. Solid collection and love the other rrrepos as well. :)

Snark Attack! I think this title should have been: "50 Design Documentaries"

Doesn't HN have a rule about no numbers of things in the title? So the most appropriate submission would just be "Design Documentaries"
link
jchendy 3976 days ago
...and now that's the title! Way to go team tomelders+jchendy.

mildrenben 3976 days ago
Yeah, I do apologise for the slightly sensationalist headline.
