Graphic Design Excerpt: AIGA’s Design Leaders Confidence Index for the fourth quarter of 2008—based on responses from 366 design leaders working in various types of practices—has gained slightly from the previous quarter, increasing from 50 to 54. In terms of the design economy, 70 percent feel the economy is worse now than it was on October 1, 2008. However, there is some optimism regarding the outlook for the coming six months: according to 30 percent, the design economy will be moderately better by July. Another 35 percent feel it will be the same, and the remaining 35 percent feel it will be worse. While a third believe their likelihood of adding staff is no different than it was three months ago, nearly 60 percent feel they are less likely to add staff.

These trends define design’s role in a much broader, strategic context than its roots: the making of things and beautiful things. Although that remains an important contribution, they will be a manifestation of a solution that may involve many different forms, including intangibles such as strategy and experiences. Designers must address scale and complexity at the systems level, even when designing individual components, and meet the growing need for anticipation of problem and solution rather than solving known problems.

And how.” explains for your client, whether in-house or external, the role designers and designing can play in problem-solving. The value of this brochure is in giving it to clients so that they understand the full potential of the designer’s contribution. To the extent this message and this vocabulary are repeated by all members, we may continue to increase the level of respect and understanding for design.
