New Restos for Union Street, Frat Boys Still Not Welcome


30Sept08_Union.jpgUnion Street’s getting over its longtime fear of popped collars and allowing five— five!— new restaurants onto an eight-block stretch between Van Ness and Steiner. New restos have been banned since the late ’80s for fear of turning the area into an obnoxious party scene populated by “frat boys.” (Why is this in quotes?) But now, with the area losing its charm due to stagnation, Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier is calling for eateries to return to Union, in hopes of brining in new money and visitors. While her original proposal permitting 10 new restaurants was parleyed down, the Planning Commission gave the reduced plan their rubber stamp— unanimously, no less. The catch: bar areas have to be no more than 20 percent of the business, and the restaurants have to close by midnight. Renewed party scene: firmly in check.

Perhaps now is a good to stand back and have a look at the industry. Ah yes, all the printers are losing money and we even have a recruitment crisis in printing.

Maybe not… look at the money quote from a recent graduate in Clemson: “One third of my class can’t find jobs..”

I’ll be honest with you, ever since this financial crisis thingie exploded out of the sewer, I have been thinking deep serious thoughts on the whole matter. Well, one semi-serious thought: How are those stupid suits going to try to hose me this time? As you might be able to tell, I’ve been through this drill before. And the answer is, maybe not this time. I said maybe…

Really, it’s been tough times in printing since I graduated which back around 1990. For those Canucks with a long memory, there was a brutal recession back then, about 11% unemployment with massive fed deficits to boot. It really blew. And let’s not forget 2001, although a lot of guys my age would like to.

the key thing to remember is that the averages are not a reliable indicator of your particular situation. In printing, for as long as I can remember, 80% of the printers make 100% of the profits. So when bad times come, if you are with the 20% of printers who are not going to run of cash very soon, you should be okay. Put it another way, there’s a bear chasing you, and you can’t outrun a grizzly bear. But there are four other guys running with you, and you only have to outrun one (or two) of them.

Frank Kozik’s brightly colored toy smoking rabbit for Paul Budnitz’s Kidrobot typifies the intersection between graphic design and product design. Is it a product design, graphic design, or art? Perhaps it is simply a masterful exercises in anti-form, since its shape needs to be serve more as a canvas than a standalone product. Steven Heller and Lita Talarico’s The Design Entrepreneur: Turning Graphic Design into Goods that Sell profiles Kidrobot, along with around fifty other companies who have managed to convert graphic design into “goods.” Some, like Shepard Fairey’s Obey posters, can be produced as pure printed graphics, while others, like Constantin Boym’s “Buildings of Disaster” manifest as matte grey 3-D objects, though admittedly with graphic sensibilities.

The Design Entrepreneur is structured with introductions written by Heller and Talarico, followed by a series of case studies. Each case study consists of an interview with the designer, along with photos of finished products and inspirations. The main emphasis, however, is on the entrepreneurial process. Nearly all of the subjects started small and without clear business plans. Their companies grew organically by making one-offs, selling to friends, and just having fun. Only later did the enterprise grow to a scale that required management. While this should be heartening news for aspiring product design entrepreneurs, I couldn’t help but wonder whether turning graphics into goods is simply somehow, well, easier than it is for industrially designed products. With digital design tools and large format CMYK printers it seems as though graphic design ambitions lend themselves more to modest beginnings than hundred thousand dollar injection molds. Fortunately, with the advent of 3D printers and CAD visualization, making products and prototypes is getting easier by the year. So as startup costs fall, and Heller and Talarico’s book about goods made by graphic designers may have a lot to teach those of us involved in capital-intensive product design.
