“ Design is moving from the bottom of the creative food chain to become the essential connector across a range of creative networks. We have become a more visual culture. As communication becomes digital, we become an interface culture, and graphic design - along with the programming - becomes the medium through which we see, read and access the world.”

“ So where does this reality of Design fit into the discussion of Design within academia? Not well. There is a big gap between Design practitioners (at least at the top consultancies) and Design educators. The debate over doing and thinking taking place within Design Thinking is moot and meaningless in the marketplace. When design consultancies are asked to set up their own “universities” to teach design to corporate managers public leaders as IDEO and ZIBA have done, then we must ask why design schools aren’t playing that role.”

There’s rather entertaining mini-exhibition that D&AD have put together where a host of well known designers and ad-men have dug out slightly dodgy early work, with accompanying captions. It’s called Everyone starts somewhere and is on show at New Blood this week, or online here. (via Everyone starts somewhere)
A Modernist diary. What sort of a life does a Modernist lead? Do they live by the traditional calendar or have they chopped of the weekend in the name of efficiency. Or Minimalism. Maybe the day isn’t 24 hours but 25. It’s a round number. That’d mean every 3 and a half weeks they’d need to add an extra day. This isn’t just aimed at Modernist’s, in fact it’s just meant to appeal to Graphic Designers with a soft spot for the Swiss design movement. They probably own Helvetica on DVD and offer to play it at dinner parties. A huge Munich 72 poster hangs in an IKEA Ribba pine frame on a white wash wall — it sits on the floor actually.
