Designers are visionary. They create images and conceptions of the future world. They have the power to influence, if not change, the world. Entire eras were shaped by their artists’ and creatives’ styles, that, even today, allow us to experience the attitude towards life of those past times. For Reinhard Binder, the power of the creatives still is an indisputable fact, yet he no longer sees this massive potential utilized. In seven theses, the author reflects upon the significance and the lasting value of contemporary design work and advocates for a change of mentality in creative processes.
