Banana = Design = Innovation = Vision

Banana = Vision

Love it or hate it, Bruce Nussbaum makes some great points in Are Designers the Enemy of Design? I think I buy most of it.

Is Design a specialist activity? If it’s done well, generally yes. Is that likely to change? For the most part, I don’t think so. Will ‘the everyman’ have the opportunity to design more and more in his lifetime than ever before? Absolutely, so we better start learning how to share Design Strategies.

Also, can Apple move past two major strikes (closed source everything and unsustainable products) and really survive the long haul? I just don’t know anymore.

Anyway, have a read for yourself…

Update: Sorry about the dead links…I think they should be fixed now.

    The links are pointing to your site Admin, which doesn’t lead anywhere.

    Could you post the link again?

    Since you don’t benefit from the HCI grad list at IU anymore, I thought I’d ping you with this tidbit from Erik Stolterman, which prompted a pretty nice discussion about design and our program on the email list. This is what he wrote:

    Dear HCI students
    Here is an interesting discussion on what it means to learn design. You may read it, reflect on our program and maybe have some suggestions on how we should relate to this discussion…

    If I get a break, I may try to synthesize some of the comments into a coherent blog. But the link you provided above is now starting to circulate on email, perhaps the email link can now do a little circulating here.

    Pleasant water cooler coversation to you.
