Who Drives Design?
There is a very interesting conversation in the latest issue of NextD Journal, where GK VanPatter interviews Julie Lasky, editor in chief of ID Magazine. Here's an excerpt from the introduction,In Conversation 7.1 we take a look at the state of design journalism. It is no secret that the traditional design press has, in the past, played a huge role in the design communities understanding of itself as well as the public perception of what design is. While a new generation of web publishing platforms have already rocked the traditional design press universe the power of the print press remains significant in many parts of our community. Embedded in that industry is the model of design journalism, what it currently is today, what it might be, should be, etc. Needless to say these are difficult subjects to unpack.
A must read for anyone interested in the future directions of design, design journalism and the changing landscape of the global design industry.
