Summary:

"The media are undergoing a dramatic transformation. Information and content are to an ever greater extent determined by digital media and interactive technologies. This poses two significant questions for designers and makers in very different disciplines. Which methods, positions and solutions should the traditional areas of graphic, product, material, and surface design employ to react to the new potential of digital media? And will design be able to influence the digital world in its aesthetic quality so that technology and design are mutually beneficial and enriching? More than 50 designers present in this book their concepts, strategies, and solutions for design in the age of interactive technologies. Based on teaching and research from the publishing team at the Weissensee Academy of Art in Berlin, the authors oppose any kind of silo thinking and show how design can react to the fast-paced ongoing changes of today's media technologies"--Inside cover.
