I remain unconvinced that the Eames furniture, lime green carpets and post-it friendly walls with clever graphics achieve that. To me, it’s like suggesting creative people like living in an IKEA catalogue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mi abuelo, alguien de quien he aprendido muchas cosas, solía decir que &#8220;las cosas o se hacen bien o no se hacen&#8221;. Esa ha sido mi forma de entender el diseño desde que empecé, no sólo para ejercerlo sino también para enseñarlo.</p>
<h3>He decidido volver a enseñar diseño de interacción.</h3>
<p>Quiero volver a formar gente como creo que hay que hacerlo: sin prisas, enseñando con ejemplos, hablando, debatiendo y trabajando. Creo en la honestidad absoluta de enseñar ejemplos buenos y también errores, de hablar de lo que no funciona y de lo que sí, y también de invitar a gente mejor que uno mismo para que comparta sus formas de hacer. Quiero que mis alumnos practiquen, discutan, lean, salgan a la calle y observen para luego volver a practicar.</p>
<p>He estado dos años sin enseñar. No me sentía con ganas porque dudaba de muchas de las cosas que había enseñado antes. Tras dos años de trabajar muy duro he desterrado alguna creencia y he reforzado unas cuantas certezas. Primero pensé en organizar un curso de dos días, algo intensivo. Lo descarté porque realmente no sería capaz de transmitir todo lo que quiero transmitir. Si hay que enseñar diseño, hagámoslo bien.</p>
<p>En noviembre volveré a reunir a un grupo de 6 u 8 personas jóvenes que quieran crecer como diseñadores de interacción y que estén dispuestos a venir al estudio todas las tardes de los viernes durante 5 meses. Les enseñaré lo que sé, les haré trabajar duro y les trataré como si fueran mi proyecto más importante.</p>
<p>Empezaremos en noviembre. Dentro de poco tendré una web con todos los detalles: fechas, temario, precio, plazas) y podré empezar a seleccionar a los alumnos. Mientras tanto, si te interesa escríbeme a <strong>javier@vostok.es</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p>SUMMARY IN ENGLISH: I&#8217;m back to teaching interaction design. Starting this November I&#8217;ll repeat the Programa Vostok course I taught twice some years ago. It will be a 5 month course with classes every friday afternoon in Madrid. Classes will be in Spanish. Contact me if interested: javier@vostok.es </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We like the iPad. We like elegance, simplicity and practicality and no iPad sleeve out there gave us that. So<a href="http://www.vostok.es/ipadsleeve/"> we decided to make our own</a> and –if you like it– share it with you.</p>
<p>A few things that were important for us and wanted to abide by:</p>
<ul>
<li>It had to be handmade. We wanted good quality. Done with great care and attention. And the right tailor for that was <a href="http://www.jositajosi.com/">jositajosi</a>.</li>
<li>It had to be pretty but practical. And what&#8217;s the iPad&#8217;s biggest hassle? Fingerprints. So choosing the right material was important. Solution: corduroy is perfect to clean glass. Slightly rugged but very gentle.</li>
<li>The interior had to offer extra cushioning for ultimate protection and had to contrast with the outer cover (navy blue). Solution: a thin but resistant cushioning in Vostok blue.</li>
<li>It should offer free-standing support. The sleeve is perfect to rest the iPad horizontally on top of it, the corduroy counterbalances the roundness of the base and keeps it steady.</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s 35€ and can be shipped to anywhere in the world. Have a look:</p>
