Orasphere.com is a website where we did some design and development work to sweeten up their website and make it look better.

Are older media like the newspaper doomed? If they are, what other things will be doomed in the future? Is there an innovation that can save the outdated or should it just be left by the way side?

Our consumer culture has conditioned us to discarded something if it has lost it usefulness. However thanks to a declining world economy the public at large is returning to a mantra born by older generations “refurbish and reuse”. We have been blessed with imaginations and creativity. We can find multiple uses for something, multiple ways to do something and multiple solutions for something. When a thing is losing it’s usefulness and dying, we can think of how to resurrect it to give it new life and purpose.

A designer by the name of Jacek Utko used this principle of resurrection or rebirth to give new direction and hope to the dying newspaper industry in Eastern Europe. Check out this brief video of a presentation posted on TED’s website. http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/501

What could be rethought and redesigned to give new life to your serice or product?
