Here is a telephone that some of you might recognise.
We have been working on this for a while now, but we are slowly reaching the home stretch.
This is probably the second to last selection on this.
You will be selecting on colours and you can pick up to 4 different telephones,
leave your choice as comments under this post or go to
Design by Darwinism group on Facebook
Enjoy!
Please do click on the image to make it bigger.
Here is the fourth generation of the telephone, please choose one that you would own and use and let me know.
Any comments are welcome on this.
This is generation 2. The concept that won was The big button telephone.
This has now reproduced and these are its children!
Armed with Swedish cinnamon buns that I had baked the night before I headed out to their Lab.
Finding the lab turned out to be the biggest challenge…
I had the most inspiring discussion with them and now there is lots of work to do, trying to understand everything and make it useful.
I have graphs , equations and new words that I have never heard before, I am in heaven! Time for me to read The blind watchmaker by Richard Dawkins and just roll around in this pool of intellect to see what sticks. I have a few new concepts to look into when it comes to selection. Simultaneous selection of phenotypes (traits), breeder’s equations, pre-definition mode of variation , product symbiosis and my all time favourite; the fittest maximum in multivariate space! This and much more now has to pass through the slow processor of this designer and hopefully come out the other side.
I would like to say a big thank you, for being so open, friendly and clever, to:

You are all fantastic! Do keep in touch to help me maintain at least a small measure of scientific correctness and inspiring chats over coffee!
Right now I’m caught up in a swamp of research.
It’s almost christmas and the weather is horrible, it is HARD to keep focused…
But I push on, read articles and chase contacts that never get back to me. Next week I’m having an interview with two evolutionary biologists, that should be so much fun!
I’m very interested in the work of James Surowiecki, I would recommend anyone to read his book The wisdom of Crowds. I think that the work is progressing ok, soon I will be needing a computer scientist and a software developer. Is that you?
Then get in touch!
I hope to soon have some images to show you all, not of anything finished but hopefully some good sketches.
Til then

Now I have started…
This year I will focus on three things to change my methodology Design by Darwinism
I will make it better, bigger and more defined.
THEN I will create something fantastic!
Right now I’m spending my time thinking and reading a lot of books.
ANY helpful tips are welcome! All you Computer scientists out there who can explain to me the details of an evolutionary Algorithm please step forward.
And you clever researchers who feel the urge to help a poor student to academic excellence; don’t be shy now!
If you are interested in participating in the next design evolution please email me and let me know.

The more people that participate the better, this is design democracy. All those things in your environment that irritate you because of bad design, now you have a chance to change that.
Hello and sorry to all of you out there that have participated in this project.
I have not updated in ages.
But finally here it is, the finished product.
Thank you everyone, this is all your work and I am so happy.
Now I’m dying to hear all your comments, PLEASE!
You guys came up with some great names, keep it up and we will have a chocolate bar by Wednesday!
It will be waxed non bleached paper, a lot better than plastic and more in line with our theme. It’s nostalgic and still keeps the chocolate fresh. The paper will be completely covered by and image.
I have 4 options for the image on the wrapper, all of them Toulouse Lautrec posters. Lovely colours and great for the “La Belle Époque” theme.
To seal the paper there is two options, unless you have any better ideas, if so please let me know.
Wax seal, it’s a bit silly maybe but doesn’t everyone like the feeling of breaking one of those seals? Like there is a hidden treasure inside just for you….. Well that is exactly what it is! Silly and fun.
OR, a simple hidden glue seal, it’s completely hidden and works just like any other seal on a sweet wrapper. That means you can see more of the packaging paper and it’s maybe a bit more grown up. Simple and clean look
Next step is shape, think about what you apprechiate in a chocolate when eating it, could the shape make or break the sensation?
I have a task for everyone too.
By Wednesday afternoon everyone need to have submitted a name suggestion for this chocolate.
You can submit more than one if you like. Just write it as a comment on this post so that everyone can see it. Feel free to comment on each other’s suggestions too
The Bullet
A small row of chocolates that can be broken off to share with someone (Note there is an even number of pieces)
Aimed to please if you like..
The Selfish Square
This is not to be shared, no no! Just enjoy all by yourself. Picture embossed into the chocolate.
It is big enough to settle the craving but not shaped to be split into small pieces. About 70×50 mm of goodness
The praline
Classic shape that feels good in the mouth and can be shared
The Triangle
This bar is made to be shared with all your friends, its big and divided up for easy splitting.
Big, complex and gorgeous just like a love triangle should be…
