Are you at the stage in your career where you're starting to question the status quo? If so, The Future of Extraordinary Design is exactly the book you need. It will help you explore and conceptualize your ideas on design thinking, and guide you toward producing a more robust design identity. Within the pages of the book, three main ideas are explored:

• Why is standardization, an unattractive and unexciting word, connected to global success phenomena?

• Who is the human in Human Centered Design and can we segregate a human from their environment?

• And just where does the designer's role in society lie how can we as designers make the world a better place?

As we look back on some of the greatest cultural and commercial successes, we see patterns emerging that tell us so much about human desire and motivation. Considering psychological and anthropological theories, we uncover some fascinating insights into the people we are and the world we live in. In this time of technological and social change, it's not enough to accept without questioning the theories of design we are given. It's time for us to explore the future of extraordinary design.

Quotes

  • Елена Ширяеваhas quoted3 years ago
    Brands such as Starbucks and McDonald’s are now aware of how much standardized appearances hinder their popularity, and they’re spending time and money refitting their stores. But for us, as we design fresh and from scratch, we can avoid this phase of standardization in the first place.
    I’d like to encourage you to consider how to reap the efficiency rewards of standardization without succumbing to the side effects.
  • Елена Ширяеваhas quoted3 years ago
    Standardization is sometimes used as a necessary evil on the road to mass expansion – but we need to recognize that a time will come when it’s more of a hindrance than a help.
    Plan ahead. Imagine a time when you’ll be not only trying to win brand recognition, but also delivering a diverse and adaptable service.
    Remember: standardization, like technology, can and should be invisible.
  • Елена Ширяеваhas quoted3 years ago
    Standardization is a byproduct of design, not the goal.
