Welcome to INNOVATION, IDSA’s quarterly and one of the best places to learn about the practice of industrial design. Every issue of INNOVATION reaches IDSA’s membership, Fortune 500 companies, universities, associations, design consultancies and subscribers around the world.
The Winter 2013 INNOVATION is a remarkable exploration through some foundational tenet of design and ways that a new generation of design professionals are finding of incorporating them into their own evolving design philosophies and next career steps.
The issue’s genesis lies in a conversation between INNOVATION executive Editor Mark Dziersk, FIDSA and guest editor Gretchen Gscheidle, IDSA, Director of Insight and Exploration at Herman Miller about Herman Miller’s Ten Tenets of Design, including precepts that work be human centered, sustainable and spirited among other tenets. From there, this issue grew and evolved to incorporate include young professionals’ take on their own guiding principles.
