Blogs

Computers and the internet are changing the way designers work in myriad ways, but weíve settled on blogs as the phenomenon that is having the greatest impact right now.

Blogs are a genuinely new method of spreading news, opinion and discussion. Formatted like diaries, they can be written by anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection, allowing them to publish their thoughts on a global scale as soon as they can type it.
Theyíre already making a big difference: sites such as dezain.net and reluct.com are posting reviews of new products and trade shows as they happen, giving global exposure to ideas that might never otherwise get seen, and at a speed with which traditional media cannot compete.

Bloggers are also challenging traditional sources of authoritative opinion, such as print journalists and TV pundits. Whereas, in the past, matters of taste were decided by an elite coterie of critics, blogging gives anyone with something to say access to a potentially huge audience.

This democratisation of the taste-making process marks a significant shift in the balance of design commentary.
