| The Design of Big Things |
| Some are labeling this the Age of design. Ranging from Google, iPods, Web 2.0, bio-fuel vehicles… to the overrunning scourge of Reality TV DYI shows… design is a buzz permeating all levels of our culture and society. The Design of Big Things blog will focus on how design is applied to parts of bigger solutions that later lead to innovation for the many (as opposed to esoteric, more specialized design concepts that never are meant to reach the mainstream user population). |
