Structure and foundation can be just a beautiful as the finished product. KMK Design image.

So design in the contemporary creative market and world can mean so many different things. As many of you know I find design, art, design theory, and creative practice to have so much more value that just the accepted norm (whatever that might be). In other words this will become a place to discuss design, design thinking, in depth application of design into many different industries, design education and how it has changed and how it needs to continue to change. Also another point will be the broader value of Entertainment Designers and how underrated we are in a broader industries simply because no one understands what we do. Even if what we do is similar to everyone other design field.

My goal with this is to have a place for thoughts and ideas, I may eventually open this up to guest authors and comments, but I have to see where this might go. There are so many paths and topics and I am really fascinated to be creating this as an avenue of expression and discussion.

As many of you who know me through social media I love to share interesting, unique, inspirational and even captivating images of art, architecture, technology and even design theory. At times I am even impassioned when I find a crossover discussion or article relating the parallels between the creative process or an artist/designer and how important that “creative mind” can be in non-traditional applications and fields.

I can’t promise that this will be the most organized idea I have had ever had, but I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while. So here goes.

I came up with the idea for “Design Mind” as a starting point because so often I find creative fields are not understood and the “industries” are changing so quickly. I wanted there to be a platform to discuss traditional methodologies and advanced ground breaking technologies. To that point even to follow flight of fancy into theoretical used of creative fields.

Also there are so many companies, materials and uses of traditional and non-traditional elements these day, I just want to chat about them. I suppose its a way to create a round table discussion of the contemporary design and production world.

Lets give it a whirl, shall we.
