1 week ago | fastcompany.mx | Jarrett Fuller

El libro de 2019 del diseñador, editor y educador David Reinfurt, Un *Nuevo* Programa para Diseño Gráfico (Inventory Press), fue un éxito inesperado: agotó su tirada inicial en tres semanas.

A Century of Tomorrows: How Imagining the Future Shapes the Present Glenn Adamson Bloomsbury $29.69“Anyone who thinks about the future,” Albert Einstein wrote in a contribution to the 1939 World’s Fair time capsule that was intended to be opened in the year 6939, “must live in fear and terror.” Today, nearly 85 years later, the great physicist’s words feel like good advice.
The best design books of 2024

BY Jarrett Fuller4 minute readI think about this year-end list of design books all year long, collecting stacks, reading hundreds of pages, pouring over countless images.

By most external factors, Renda Morton had a successful career in design. In the late 2000s, she co-founded the design studio Rumors where she and the team worked on identities, websites, and books for a range of clients. She joined The New York Times as a designer in 2012, eventually becoming the paper’s Vice President of Design before moving to California to lead product design at Dropbox in 2018.

The world is on fire. Can design help save it?

Jul 11, 2024 | fastcompanyme.com | Jarrett Fuller

I think the difference between design and other disciplines of making is that design is about desirability. It’s about finding what you care about, and then embodying that in the world. And that’s a really specific way to go about doing things. I think it’s a helpful way, but it can also be harmful. Carissa Carter: When we talk about design, we think of it on many levels and layers.

“In an environment that is screwed up visually, physically, and chemically, the best and simplest thing that architects, industrial designers, planners, etc., could do for humanity would be to stop working entirely,” wrote designer and educator Victor Papanek in his 1971 book, Design for The Real World.

An Ode to Garages

One of my earliest memories is of my grandpa Jim, my mom’s dad, helping me build a pinewood derby racer in his garage in Juniata, Nebraska. I vaguely remember him showing me how he used an old band saw and belt sander to shape the racer’s aerodynamic body, whittling down compartments under the nose to fit weights so that the car would accelerate more rapidly.

In 1972, construction workers were finishing off the last elements of a remarkable new building in Tokyo.
