John Maeda posted his slides (along link to video) of his 2017 Design in Tech Report at SXSW together with Jackie Xu. Some “key observations” include:
– Design isn’t just about beauty; it’s about market relevance and meaningful results.
– At top business schools, design thinking is moving into the curriculum — driven by market demand.
– Both McKinsey & Co and IBM have recently made appointments at their most senior levels for designers.
If you have any interest in design trends, I highly suggest you take some time out to watch or read this material. Also don’t forget to check in on design.blog as well.
