Profiled by ICON magazine we see Marc Newson describing his working history as a product designer and how his realization of limited art work with Gagosian Gallery fits into his creative framework. The exhibition was a turning point for design when art collectors suddenly sat up and took notice of a demand created by and for these individuas. This exhibition also provided a framework for Newson to develop experimental and egotistical works and he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
User value - competing theories and models is an excellent way to explore the various components of value and evaluates the different properties that define it for new product development activities. User-centric approach to design, time based modeling and several other accessible functional design systems and how they effect ROI are shown. An excellent read.
