Came across this interesting interview about the legendary graphic designer Paul Rand. Touched upon some really nice points. Gives an explanation on the IBM logo, and also his views on why the world needs graphic designers in it. Enjoy! Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 I gave a talk recently at the Designers meet organized by Regalix, here in Bangalore.The theme of the meet was Digital Design Innovation. My talk focused on how we as designers should look to to see the impact of Digital Design Innovation in the context of India, and in particular in the social sector. Below is the presentation that I used for the talk, which ran for 15 minutes.
