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

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.

Great list! I would add the Clouds Documentary: http://cloudsdocumentary.com

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.

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"

Yeah, I do apologise for the slightly sensationalist headline.

50 'Need to know' Design Documentaries that will leave you Breathless!

Doesn't HN have a rule about no numbers of things in the title? So the most appropriate submission would just be "Design Documentaries"

...and now that's the title! Way to go team tomelders+jchendy.
