I love the talks from TED (stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design). They’re so engaging and feature so many great and inspiration speakers from all over the world talking about subjects ranging from experimental technology that could be part of our world in the future to thoughts on the human psyche. Do check out their “Design Like You Give a Damn” theme. Truly amazing stuff.
Here’s one that I saw recently which I think is worth spending a six minutes of your time to look at. Polish designer Jacek Utko shares his experience of saving the daily print with great design. He also shows examples of the award-winning designs for various Eastern European newspapers in the video.
I think what he said is quite true – you can be designing in a really boring industry or for a really boring product, but if you have the dedication (and proper support) to do the best work in your area, design can be inspiring and create positive change.
I shall leave you with this last thought that he mentioned in the video:
“You can live in a small poor country, like me. You can work for a small company, in a boring branch. You can have no budgets, no people but still you can put your work to the highest possible level. And everybody can do it. You just need inspiration, vision and determination. And you need to remember that to be good is not enough.”
