As the world kept him thinking in turns so would the blank, empty, undiluted space in the upper right corner of his unimaginative American blog. It left itself for last - as if it knew it was much too smart for him - as if the search bar that had once been there was an overture to another space in time - as if that corner meant more than it really did.
Julian Bleeker on Design
One of the questions that I wrestle with is the question of design – what it is, what it means, what place does it have in an increasingly engineered and technical data-centric atmosphere? For me and my main area of interest – the evolution of the magazine and magazine publishing – this is a particularly interesting series of questions. If the current upheaval in print media is anything it is indeed a revolution in design and the necessary design thinking that accompanies it.
In the following video Julian Bleeker – design researcher in Nokia’s Design Strategic Projects Studio and co-founder with Nicolas Nova of the Near Future Laboratory – explores these questions and how it’s crucial for the modern designer to understand how design is implemented.
