The Era of Design

Read this great article in Forbes by Adam Swann of Gyro about how Design has been "Democratized".  Customers have become sensitized and particular when it comes to products, interiors, interfaces, etc... that have been poorly designed.  Companies like Apple and Target have raised the bar and are exceeding their competitors profits even in this economy.  We still have a long way to go, I can't tell you how many times a day I notice how poorly designed something is, whether its a bad web site, door handle or uncomfortable chair...Thanks to Susan Fireside of Winter and Construction for posting this
