About Issue Five

Simplicity. Designers love it. Designers hate it. Many designers don’t understand it, confusing it with simple and simplistic. Truth is simplicity in design is about managing complexity and though the end result may look simple, even obvious, at its best simplicity in design is anything but.

About Issue Six

As designers, we have an interesting and varied relationship with touch, and this is certainly reflected in the diversity of responses to our theme from our contributors. Jodie Richards writes passionately of the responsibility of communication designers to be mindful of how our work reaches out and touches others, and to consider how invited, or not, that touch is. Illustrator and painter Annette Lodge discusses the importance of touch within her art practice, particu­larly in relation to her most recent exhibition. On the other hand, designer and Head of Communications DIA, Jane Connory, found that one of the most striking aspects of her visit to the 2017 Venice Biennale was the ubiquity of admonishments not to touch the art. Designer and educator Ruth Kirkland reflects on her favour­ite design writer, Kenya Hara, and how the haptic experience can play a signifi­cant role in design.
