On the Move

London's Design Museum is expected to attract half a million visitors a year in its new home in Kensington. The museum, which is now dedicated to everything from industrial design and graphic design to fashion and architecture, has moved to a 1960s era building that has been strikingly renovated.
 
"It's marvelous to have been able to save the building, and have it now as what's going to be a world-class center for design," says the museum's architectural designer John Pawson
 

A Deal for Designers

Autodesk Fusion 360 was created with the industrial designer in mind. Now, you can explore and solve your most complex design challenges with a single software tool. Fusion 360 also integrates collaboration, simulation and machining in one package that works on PC and Mac. From Black Friday on Nov. 25, 2016 through Cyber Monday on Nov. 28, Fusion 360 is available at an 80 percent discount! Autodesk is offering Fusion 360 at just $120 for a two-year subscription—or $100 for one year.

Holiday Gala 2016 & Panel Discussion

Mark the end of this year and welcome 2017 by attending the 2016 IDSA NY Holiday Gala! Join us for an evening of food, drink and a panel discussion!

The Panel Discussion: The design Economy
Design is all around us and has been a driver of culture and trade. When we talk of 'design', thoughts and images that pop-up in our minds are mostly aesthetic in nature. However, the fuel that drives the engine of design is commerce. So, how can we approach the discussion of the economic impact of design? We are now stepping into 2017 and IDSA NYC presents a discussion regarding the economics of design from the point of view of panelists from the worlds of retail, design education, economic development, talent recruitment, and design consulting.
Questions we will address: How are businesses that are based on design doing in 2016? How has the nature of projects changed over the last few years and what can they expect going forward? Further, how is design education evolving? How is design impacting the economics of NYC and what can we expect to see in the future? What kind or remuneration can graduates and professionals expect from the world of design today?

The State of Design

Some of the results are in from the first annual, open-source Design Census to benefit designers with data and insight about the rapidly evolving profession. About 9,600 people in more than a dozen design and related fields took part in the online survey that was open for 18 days in December 2016. The collaborative resource will help designers understand the complex economic, social and cultural factors shaping design today.
