... and i think Milton ...Great collection Rashmi. <br /><br />... and i think Milton Glaser's definition that design encompasses the process of going from an existing position to a preferred one is relevant as well.<br /><br />I interviewed Peter Salmon down here in New Zealand recently & he spoke of his disenchantment with graphic design and commented: <br /><br />“The role of the designer is in transition,” warns Peter. “Rather than positioning themselves as guardians of style they have the skills to help businesses recognise opportunities. With the growing popularity of participatory approaches they can take a central role as the facilitators of collaboration.” (http://www.designassembly.org.nz/?p=145)<br /><br />I took from this that as we have a background in telling clients stories we can also catalyse their conversations. And why stop at clients?Meena Kadrihttp://www.randomspecific.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708219517809453831.post-51170511092758727962009-07-13T22:34:37.479-07:002009-07-13T22:34:37.479-07:00maybe, these views too could add to your collectio...maybe, these views too could add to your collection? <br />http://korjan.wordpress.com/2008/12/13/definitions/korjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201610467042853600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708219517809453831.post-8106553486722061912009-07-13T20:11:35.165-07:002009-07-13T20:11:35.165-07:00Dear Rashmi
A wonderful list of ideas on design. ...Dear Rashmi<br /><br />A wonderful list of ideas on design. My quote in 2004 was made after I had just read a book by George Soros where he proposed that financial markets are reflexive and he offered a theory of reflexivity. I felt that design did just that when we move our intentions to make or change something through our design thoughts and actions there are others out there who would respond in a variety of ways which makes the act reflexive.<br /><br />Design is an act that takes place in a field filled with other creative and caring and in cases opposing people who would respond to any offering and this kind of response cannot be anticipated but we should learn to expect this action and reaction. This makes design very political especially if what is being attempted is a major change or any massive improvement and the vested interests would be upset with such a move or possibility.Prof. M P Ranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087205148848576540noreply@blogger.com
