DESIGN SOLUTIONS IN A CONNECTED WORLD

Technology has changed humanity and is still continuing to change how we live, work, and play. It spurred the rise of digital media, and this has changed how experience the world and how we communicate with each other.

 

As such, a new medium requires different aesthetics and designs that are appropriate for the experience of the person using it. Vertical videos made for vertical smartphone screens, responsive website design, and UI/UX studies are all driven by design thinking — one that considers both the medium and the user.

 

At its core, design is creativity that should serve a function and purpose. In a digitally connected world, design must adapt to the medium and the user to fulfill both function and purpose.
