Jamie Wolfond Thinks Designers Could Benefit from Reimagining the Traditional Design Process
The single most important thing designers can benefit from is to better understand manufacturing and it's process capabilities-they don't need to be experts but do need to understand manufacturing capabilities and limitations. I come across designers constantly who are clueless and don't care to learn-that is ignorance and limits there design ability, with better mfg understanding really allows more freedom to push the material and process envelopes. Software does not solve all and they need to understand the real world and fact they have designed something which on the screen is amazing however in the real world can't be replicated and they get frustrated engineer's don't understand there design when in fact its the other way around.
Can't make it this year, though I would pay to watch a stream. I think it would be very helpful for students that are in school or just starting out to watch the speakers. Even if I could attend, I wound't be able to see all the speakers as they get split up. Many conferences theses days offer online viewing options. The world needs more designers and engineers. Maybe you could just record the speakers and throw them on youtube?
Hi Jonathan! We'll be recording the morning talks and keynote presentation. The videos of the talks will be up on our YouTube channel not too long after the conference :)
Great! Thanks for that!
Many Thanks!
I susbscribe to that initiative.
