Design festivals everywhere!!

      The New York Times published an interesting article about design festivals across the globe, most notably in places such as Seoul, Amsterdam, and Paris. This week and the next is the beginning of a month or so of festivals dedicated to the design world. They cover various aspects of design, from landscaping and architecture to furniture and computer graphics. The festivals include shows, galleries, food, and all manner of impressive venues.
     The biggest splash will be made by the Seoul Design Fair, which had as many as two million people attend last year (I hope they've got good crowd control skills!). This year the show will be showcasing the beginnings of Seoul's new design district, crafted by the architect Zaha Hadid, famous for her work in Naples, Germany, and America.
     After reading all that stuff, I'd like to attend. It sounds really cool, particularly the Dutch Design Double, which will be showcasing glass works an intellectual discussion about design and where it's taking the world.

Buzzword!
DPI: Dots per inch.
Why is this relevant? It's used when referring to the resolution of a picture; the more DPI it has, the sharper and clearer the picture will be.
