According to the authors design should be evolving as new technology emerges through out the years. Designers should be involving new techniques, new ways of thinking and including them in their designs. As Bruno Munari states “The artist must cast off the last rags romanticism and become active as a man among men, well up in present-day techniques, materials and working methods.” This implements such designers should re-think what their message and audience should be according to this new generation. Similarly Helen Armstrong states “Designers should learn for “The process of becoming a designer is focused largely on “how”: how to use software, how to solve problems, how to organize information, how to get clients, how to work with printers, and so on.”
What distinguishes the field, or fields, of design from other creative occupations is that design is something that comes out from your inner self as something unique. The design you create gives you your own identity and makes you stand out from everyone else. According to Bruno Munari ” The designer is therefore the artist of today,… because he has the humility and ability to respond to whatever demand is made of him by the society in which he lives, because he knows his job, and the ways and means of solving each problem of design.” This refers as the different ways designers in different design occupations have the ability to do their jobs the best way possible.
Technology has played a major role in shaping design professions. As technology advances new jobs have been created and its way easier for designers to promote their new ideas out to the world. For example, all social media platforms are a big influence in todays world. Everyone and anyone can come in contact with new trends, or establish new trends to the public. Together with new inventions, new software programs, it is easier for anyone to learn on their own and create something new. Due to these new inventions I believe designers have very high competition among each other. In oder to establish a trend one must know their target audience and how big of an influence this new trend could be. Therefore designers must incorporate what is happening now in the world and use it as research when creating their own piece of art work.
