O P I N I O N
When is design legitimate?
In this week’s feature, Ronald Shakespear states, “design is an answer to a social need that originates it and makes its existence legitimate.” We want to know whether you agree.
State your opinion http://www.icograda.org/web/opinion
F R O M P R E V I O U S O P I N I O N
Last week's opinion asked your opinion on how to measure design’s
contribution to economic growth and employment.
Where does design fit?
14% Design is a distinct field and should be mapped independently.
36% Design should be mapped as a component of each field.
53% Neither. We need a new framework that considers both of the above
Totals shown may be more or less than 100% due to rounding

Chasing the Perfect: Thoughts on Modernist Design in Our Time
Natalia Ilyin, Metropolis Books, artbook.com
ISBN I-933045-21-3
According to Ilyin, "Modern design is based on deeply idealist notions, and its inherent perfectionism has dovetailed beautifully with our commodity-based economy's need to keep people itching so that they will buy things and keep the society chugging along. I began Chasing the Perfect because I started to become aware of this collusion, this silent pressure that a language of design based in perfectionism had brought to bear on how I developed as a person." Chasing the Perfect is especially relevant in our times as interest in graphic, industrial, and architectural design moves more and more into mainstream culture. Each of the 10 chapters features Ilyin's accessible and often hilarious writing, which is highlighted with a broad range of images-some quite unexpected-from the designed world around us.
