Beware the Backlash: A rising tide of disaffection towards design

There’s a storm brewing in designland. A backlash is gathering momentum, and what’s more, some of its chief dissidents are design’s leading lights.

Philippe Starck sheepishly peered out of the cover of December’s Icon magazine, under the ‘I killed design’ banner. In an Observer article a few months earlier Stephen Bailey, the fiery British design critic, exclaimed “When I hear the word ‘designer’, I reach for my chainsaw.”

Competitiveness Summit ‘06: A review from the UK Design Council

Innovation “will dictate the economic prosperity of nations,” but the weakness of the UK is “not being able to take full advantage of this.”  We produce people in art schools who don’t understand the language of the business world, and business people who don’t understand how to manage innovation.

Free Banksy!

eBay’s full of chancers selling dodgy prints of Banksy’s work, and so Banksy’s responded by opening his own online store where everything’s free. Grab some nice high-res images and print them out yourself - Banksy suggests using gloss paper using company printer ink when everyone else is at lunch.
