Slow Economy Demands Better Design

November 25, 2008 by Antonio Garcia

Yesterday, Dawn emailed the studio a link to a really interesting article by the International Herald Tribune examing the impending global recession and its effects on the design industry. It also identified key ways design can fight and survive economic downturn.

As President-Elect Obama announces his all-star economic advisory team and New Deal Part 2, Firebelly's been thinking a lot about what it will mean for our industry in the coming months and years.

I'd love to hear how students who are about to start their design career feel as well as words of wisdom from industry vets who've designed long enough to have witnessed hard times before. Post your hopes + fears in the comments....
