David Report 8 - The Sustainable Wheel

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:58:44 +0000

The climate debate is probably the one sole topic getting the most attention in the global media torrent. The discussions on sustainable design are there, lurking in the shadows, but David Report is of the opinion that the concept is too narrow. Often it is about romanticizing different ways of production, with emphasis on the environmental aspect which of course is important, but we shouldn’t forget that design is more complex than that. “Green” or “eco” are only parts of the concept sustainable design.

David Report 7 - Vulgarism

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:51:32 +0000

Is design flirting with art, or is it art flirting with design? What is it that we see; a smart convergence between the two or an “easy” way to earn a buck and get massive PR, for both designers, producers and gallery owners? More info at http://www.davidreport.com

David Report 4 - Welcome to the credibility loop

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:51:12 +0000

“Today advertising is a questionable effort both to build recognition and to build a brand. The academic elite as well as business professionals have a second thought how to do. It’s all about building a trustworthy and reliable partnership with your (future) customers. To become a part of their mind so to speak. And when most people are sick and tired of all advertising everywhere, there must be a better way to communicate with them, mustn’t”? More info at http://www.davidreport.com

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:51:07 +0000

Last issue of David Report (no 4: Welcome to the Credibility Loop) made an impression on our readers. We have been asked to take a deeper look inside the loop. Who could argue with that, we are here for you, dear readers! This new issue is called Communication Through Product and we are really happy to present it. Not only because it consists of an interesting development of our initial thoughts, we are also proud to deliver ideas that we beleive could save our fellow business men/women billions of dollars. This by using a marketing strategy based on design, creativity and inovation that we have named CTP, an abbreviation of Communication Through Product. More info at http://www.davidreport.com

David Report 3 - Design (in) the future

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:51:01 +0000

In this issue of David Report our superb correspondents got a couple of days off. Instead we decided to share our thoughts and visions with some selected top designers around the world. People who we think have a strong integrity and that we appreciate as designers (and as friends). Our idea was to make it as an interview with just one question: Design (in) the Future?

David Report 2 - Supreme Regionalism

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:50:56 +0000

How interesting is it to travel to another country or continent, just to realise that you for a moment don’t know were you are. Are you in Tokyo, or New York, or Moscow, or London or… Wherever you go, you find look-a-like airports, shops or hotels. The interior is exactly the same in the hotel in Seoul as it is in San Francisco. You find the same fast-food-chain or superbrand flagship store. And naturally, you find a “popping-up-everywhere” shopping mall nearby, with all the same retailers as you find in every mall. Hurray for us consumers – we can buy the same products wherever we go, and we can look/dress exactly like our neighbours or friends. Boring. Absolutely life-killing boring.

David Report 10 - 5 key design trends

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:50:50 +0000

In the new issue of David Report we will bring forward five key design trends, that we believe in one way or another will change the future. We will leave the surface to instead go in depth and relate our five key design trends to social, economical and ecological patterns and phenomena's over the entire global - local scale. Because we are firm believers that a design trend is worthless unless put in a social macro perspective. We call our 5 key design trends: Cooltural, Rationaissance, Responsibiz, Sensuctive and Breaking Boundaries. What is good design? Who decides what good design is and what types of products, processes and services will we see in the future? Which effects does design have on our lives, on our future society and cultural movements? How may better and more culturally connected design be created?
