Design has been recognized as a key approach to a world in flux. But the great embrace of Design, also drives great noise. Everyone talks Design. Everyone thinks Design. Anyone can design.
In this maze of sameness lurks the ghost of status quo. But also a new beginning; an emerging new approach to Design, and a landscape of opportunities for how to cut through the noise and radically change business and society.
These are the Frontiers of Design.
And those who master them will lead.
As part of the 20th anniversary of the design firm Doberman, The Frontiers of Design is a short film interviewing 20 influential organizations and designers about what’s next for Design. Together they form a diverse patchwork of perspectives across industries, disciplines and markets.
This is not a quest for The Answer. Because there is no holy grail. On the contrary, this is the beginning of a journey to uncover clues and spark an industry-wide dialogue about the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities at the Frontiers of Design.
We hope this dialogue can inspire change. If you want to explore more, discuss or share your thoughts, please join us on Slack or Twitter #frontiersofdesign.
Next official screening of the film will be held at The Frontiers Conference, August 31. Get your tickets at frontiers.design
