Field Notes, NYC Design Week 2009
Want a break from staring at service design diagrams and business frameworks? Then we invite you to take a look at the work of Craighton Berman. Our thanks to Jessica Barnes for calling this to our attention.
From Craighton’s site:
Craighton is interested in using design as a tool for crafting experiences and bringing ideas to life. He has worked on projects that range from physical to...
We’d like to pass on some work that was introduced to us recently from a fellow classmate, Jose Mello. Below is a brief synopsis from Jose himself…

Looking forward
Dear readers,
2012 promises to be an exciting year for the Institute of Design and the ID community. There is the highly anticipated book release by our very own Vijay Kumar.

And finally we have the wonderfully diverse ID...
Signing off
Dear readers,
It has been a pleasure serving as editors of The New Idiom for the past year.
During our editorship, we established social media integration, involved more members of the ID community, integrated new forms of multimedia, and increased readership subscriptions. We believe The New Idiom has a stronger platform on which to grow.

ID remembers Steve Jobs
Who at ID (or Stuart, for that matter) hasn’t discussed Apple’s design, strategy, marketing, or business model in one (or probably, many more) of their classes? Steve had a profound impact on our community and we are truly sad to see him go.
Here’s what people at ID have to say about the passing of a true design legend:
I feel I owe my career to Steve Jobs. Not because his...

Thumbs up to ID from Nussbaum
Bruce Nussbaum recently wrote an article on Financial Times’ ranking of MBA schools. He proposes an alternative list.
“And in the Top Two of any list of schools of creativity would be IIT’s Institute of Design in Chicago. If you are in business and want people who know how to strategize in a complex and uncertain world, you want graduates of ID. If you want people who know innovation...
