Take a moment to think about your daily routine and the things you interact with on your typical day, from when you wake up, to when you go to sleep. There is one type of person you come in contact with, even if it’s second-hand, that you may not know about. This person thought about the handle on the cup from which you drink your morning coffee, they contemplated how to make the chair you sit in at work more comfortable, they chose the fonts you look at and read in your lunchtime magazine, and they made you turn left instead of right by the sign you noticed on your way home. You may think these people are superheroes. How could a group of people have such an influence on one’s daily routine? They are called DESIGNERS.
They design products, posters, signs, fonts, experiences and our clothes. Designers create things we come in contact with all the time and they have a distinct sense of the way the world works and the way use things.
Define-Design is a podcast + radio program about design, featuring designers and consumers talking about common items we see or use in our every day lives.
Please suggest a product for Define-Design to discuss, suggest a topic, or recommend a designer to be interviewed.
