Harnessing Design Intelligence: Local Contexts, Global Change
In a world increasingly driven by visual content, and innovative solutions, designers have emerged as the unsung superheroes of our time. At the heart of this evolution lies ‘Design Intelligence’ – a blend of strategic insight, practical thinking, and visionary creativity. Diving into real-world applications, we look to explore the immense potential of design to transcend mediums, shape the creative economy, and drive meaningful social change. With parallels between the qualities of iconic-caped crusaders and the modern designer, we’ll journey through the transformative power of storytelling, the need for local context in design, and the revolutionary impact of tools like mind maps, while celebrating the Superhero in us, together challenging conventions and envisioning a brighter future.
