THINK DRAW MAKE is very BAUHAUS;) — the birth of the Industrial Design core methodology and once- now fading i fear- the way Design was taught by many in the pre- branded age of digital design tools. Its how in was taught at Pratt ending in about 1985, but by then, most of its teachers were over 60;)and within a year or so all real educational authority for designers would sadly be given to Apple, Adobe, Alias-and a few more;)

Whats replaced this old mantra in Design Education and even the profession is up for discussion and debate of it’s value. Let that be another thread… But perhaps the “Design is Dead” thread served part of that mission.

Today, in the postmaterial age confronting design and with or without the influence of the branded design method, representations/ visualization have all been merged by the medium and tools now commonly used by designers….

Therefore:

THINK MODEL MAKE

This may have more resonance in todays- tomorrows design lexicon.

drawing/sculpting/hacking/simulating etc…… are all forms of modeling that allow space between THINKING and EDITING, and allow MAKING to support the USER/FEEDBACK node that truly is part of the process as well.

But I’ve been thinking about my own creative process and how I can define and refine it and then raise my the quality AND productivity of my work, at home and on the job.

Here’s to being super busy all the time at work and home and everywhere in between…Cheers.
