    We know that the design is cool, and we know why it’s cool, but we do no know how he and his company thought of the idea. I think that the presentation would appeal more to engineers, technicians and marketing people, or designers who want to do almost exactly what he does. I worked in a theater one summer, and personally, designing spaces and temporary installations doesn’t interest me that much. I am much more interested in designing branding systems, products, and packaging. Even though I did not relate much to White’s lecture, there was some relevant advice about design and life in…

We get so caught up in the beauty of it all, but we need to question what exactly aesthetic values do in creating a false sense of reality. Writers like Teju Cole understand this urge and give us a wake-up call that we are living…

    As the Museum 's new curator, I have been informed that one of my main priorities is to improve the content of our museum 's website.

Moreover, the ratio of depreciation to sales provides a measure of the level of non-cash expenditure in relation to total sales. Consequently, Burberry appears to be relatively more efficient in managing its assets in relation to the revenue generated than H&M.…
