Read more to learn better ~~ Design firms that are successful and that will remain so have an inherent understanding of the way people actually live and work. These firms are committed to intellectual as well as socioeconomic diversity and inclusion. They collaborate with, or sometimes employ, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, management experts, and financial analysts in order to bet- ter serve their client’s aims. This change is profound and represents a new view of the profession, one that is multidisciplinary and user-centered. Above all, this view acknowledges that design, and designers, have a social responsi- bility. This improved value system for the design industry insists that design projects create a problem-specific solution and at the same time bal- ance all of the client’s goals—financial, organizational, functional, cultural, and environmental. #read #learn #design #designeducation

In the field of Information Technology, innovation is essential. That is the reason why we need a lot of ideas to make it happen that may result in another innovation that can be very useful to many people and different fields around the world. The idea is the first step in making innovations because ideas will help us to have a reason for doing a particular product. It will give us a reason to do research, make prototypes, and especially bring that thing to life. Ideas can also be utilized to improve existing products and services, especially in Information technology we need updates and upgrades every time so that we will not be left behind then our services will not get outdated. Ideas can be connected to design we need to have a lot of design ideas so that our product will look necessary and interactive to use for the target audience. Lastly, our useful ideas will make us more reliable and trusted by many people because we will help them reach their goals and objectives. #Behance #ScottBelsky #GraphicDesigning #InformationTechnology #Design #Creativity #Innovation #InspirationalQuotes

"Designers Should Support Each Other" In the dynamic world of design, collaboration and mutual support are key to innovation and growth. The "Designers Unite" campaign emphasizes the importance of fostering a community where designers lift each other up, share resources, and exchange ideas. By working together and supporting one another, designers can overcome challenges, inspire creativity, and drive the industry forward. Join us in creating a culture where every designer's success is a collective victory, and together, we can achieve more than we ever could alone. Note: This is AI generated image

There is so much more to Design than thinking and doing. When we, designers, repeat words from “designers” who don't truly understand the value of Design, we are ignoring the real opportunities around us and start deviating from the nature and potential that belongs to Design. Designers, it is not about business values or AI taking over our craft capabilities. Remember the van diagram? There is overlap, and it responds to tangibility and certainty. Let's pay attention to who we collaborate with and learn to extract the value of the business from who is responsible for it and not do their jobs. If you are educated in design enough to understand its values, you will stop propagating words that diminish the value of the Design or the professionals who know how to do their jobs. It is all about what enables thinking and doing. You don't need to be the tech or the financial expert; we need the professionals around us to communicate the value of our co-created solutions. And yes, you need to be smart enough to collaborate and communicate it, but it is impossible you do it all alone. Don't do other people's jobs; instead, learn how to support them to make things more tangible and with better impact. #designers #design #collaborativeleadership #impact #bettertogether

Could Mastering Aesthetic, Quality Design Be Easier? 🚀 In today's visually-driven world, the ability to create compelling designs is more critical than ever. Whether it's for communication, branding, or education, visual content plays a pivotal role in how we connect and convey ideas. However, there's a growing gap that we must address: the lack of access to quality design tools and education in underserved communities. Many talented individuals, especially in underserved areas, face significant barriers to entering the design world. These barriers include limited access to high-quality design software, educational resources, and mentorship. As a result, countless creative voices go unheard, and potential remains untapped. At **Tessia**, we believe that creativity knows no bounds. Our mission is to democratize design, making professional-grade tools and resources accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, Tessia empowers users to bring their ideas to life with ease and efficiency. But our vision goes beyond just providing tools. We aim to empower communities by equipping individuals, especially children and young adults in underserved areas, with the skills and confidence to explore digital creativity. Imagine a world where every child, regardless of where they come from, can harness the power of design to express themselves, innovate, and inspire change. The first step towards this vision is recognizing the urgent need to democratize design. By breaking down the barriers to creative tools and education, we can unlock the potential of countless individuals and create a more inclusive and vibrant creative community. Join us on this journey as we work towards a future where everyone has the opportunity to become a creator. Let's make design accessible for all, and in doing so, empower a new generation of innovators and storytellers. #DesignForAll #DigitalCreativity #DemocratizeDesign #Tessia #UnderservedCommunities #CreativeEmpowerment

A lot of orgs neglect design research, not because they don’t want to do it but because it’s daunting. The rush to release can make the process seem like a hurdle rather than an opportunity to measure twice and cut once. Erika Hall’s “Let’s Do Design Research Right” workshop will show you how to use effective and practical research processes to bring research-backed influence to bear at the right time. If you’re in the Asia-Pacific, you’re in for a treat because these upcoming sessions are planned with your timezone in mind. You’ve got a training g budget, right? This is exactly what you should be spending it on! https://lnkd.in/g6Ru6hhK
