rebellion of necessity
Designers: why they are rebels
Designers are rebels!
Why?
They are not satisfied with the old solutions and have a strong drive to make the things around us better. They experiment, disregard conventions, and transcend boundaries They work with new materials, forms, colors, and concepts, merging art, technology, science, and many more disciplines besides. Playful, dynamic, or speculative, they are always visionary.
Without rebellion there would be no Apple iMac, no Bauhaus, no Vivienne Westwood. What a drab world it would be!
Designers in companies introduce new perspectives, work across departments, and are open to new methods and procedures. The end result may not always be clear at the beginning. As the Austrian journalist Wolf Lotter notes, creativity needs space and the creative path is full of risks
Designer:innen hinterfragen den Status quo und wissen: Ohne Risiko, kein Fortschritt. Und wo der Fortschritt fehlt ist der Stillstand nicht weit. Erst das Auflehnen gegen die alte Ordnung führt zu echter Innovation. Große Ideen können zunächst auf Widerstand treffen, weil sie anders, weil sie neu sind und manchmal auf den ersten Blick unmöglich scheinen. Ohne Mut und Visionen geht es nicht. Gute Designer:innen müssen rebellisch sein. Gutes Design muss rebellisch sein.
At bayern design, we are familiar with the power of this “rebellion”, and its vital role for new challenges. We inform and inspire companies, creative minds, politicians, and the interested public, holding attractive events, providing professional consulting, and helming the munich creative business week (mcbw). We know that design can be a game-changer and make the world we live in a little better.
Small rebellions, but huge progress towards tomorrow’s world worth living in. And best of all when everyone pulls together, working towards the same goal. Design connects.
We are excited to be a part of Slanted Publishers’ Rebel Prints! With our editorial, we want to encourage all those who think outside the box and are working today on a future worth living tomorrow.
