Paul Budnitz, founder of Kidrobot, the world’s
premier creator and retailer of limited-edition toys and apparel, addresses
creativity, sacrifice and abundance. How do we stay perpetually creative
and find ways to create just what is needed—on call—without
letting our personalities and individual feelings get in the way?
Ellen Lupton, 2007 AIGA Medalist, author and educator discusses how to publish your own book, design your own merchandise and make your own bed in an age when anyone can be a designer (if you try), publisher, pundit, rock star or filmmaker.
Valerie Casey, executive creative director, frog design, asks why traditional product design has failed to substantively advance the green movement. How can designers gauge and motivate the client’s propensity to embrace principles of sustainability?
Khoi Vinh, design director, NYTimes.com, reveals a fundamental shift is going on in design: control is passing from designers to design consumers, and it’s changing the way we practice our craft. What is the nature of this change? Is it temporary or evolutionary? Can it be reconciled with “traditional” design values?
