A round-up of moves, changes and appointments in the design world.
From a fully functional American diner through to Google’s unnerving house showing how technology has taken over our lives, we round up our favourites from this year’s Italian design festival.
Research conducted into the diversity of the creative industries shows the sector on the whole to be hard to access for ethnic minorities, women and those from low-income backgrounds.
Japanese designer Kosuke Takahashi talks about why he decided to create a new typeface that incorporates braille and letters to cater for both blind and sighted people.
So many ad agencies. I wonder if this is a reflection that they’re getting better at design, or is it just that Cannes Lions are so expensive to enter that design agencies opt out?
I think the Guinness work by AMV/BBDO stands out miles above the rest. Also is it just me or is this a very small list of UK winners?
Not much to say about BBH’s work for Asos. A jerky video, long loading times, FLASH!!!!!!, not mobile. No real engagement with Asos, there suggested audience, and the clothing. Simple click and view. Nothing new.
Loose the Flash Fat
Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder why the Tuborg bottle received an award? It is a solid piece of design, but according to Bruce Duckworth who was the Design Panels Chairman in Cannes this year, they had 3 criteria for giving awards. 1. Does it feel like something new? 2. Does it break category conventions. 3. Do I wish I had done it? Well no, no and no.
Oh, by the way it was designed by Turner Duckworth….just sayin!.
