How do tools change the way we work? Throughout history, the development of new tools has been adopted to increase efficiency and proficiency. In the design process, visualization tools are constantly evolving to aid the designer. Hypershot, a rendering software from Bunkspeed is geared specifically for the designer. It is intuitive, visual, and easy to use.
Chris Hart, Industrial Designer at Webb Scarlett deVlam, will be discussing where this software fits into the design process and doing some demos to highlight how new tools are helping to make the process more efficient.

IDSA Midwest Conference: Meaning
April 3-5
Hyatt Regency Hotel, downtown Minneapolis
Meaning can be interpreted many ways regarding the design process. For example, "How can we as designers make the object more meaningful to the user?", "How can the result of a designer's insight make life experience more meaningful?", "How can we identify real problems and provide solutions to the everyday person?" and further, "How can we understand what is meaningful to a person at this time and make that object important, that experience relevant?"
It is these questions that we seek to investigate, explore and present at this conference. We will feature a presentation by Steve Diller from Cheskin, a strategic consulting and market research company from California. Steve is co-author of the book Making Meaning, How Successful Businesses Deliver Meaningful Customer Experiences. [makingmeaning.org]

SAIC presents: Anthony Dunne & Fiona Raby Lecture
Wednesday April 15th, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Fullerton Hall - Art Institute of Chicago, 111 South Michigan Avenue
FREE
Dunne and Raby short-circuit the design process by attending to our inner needs rather than our outer sensibilities. They use design as a critical medium to explore fields of science such as biotechnology and nanotechnology. Their project Evidence Dolls playfully probes the implications of DNA knowledge between lovers, while Designs for Fragile Personalities in Anxious Times continues their obsession with the psychological impact of an atomized society. It celebrates humans as being contradictory, complex and psychologically flawed.
This lecture is sponsored by the AIADO department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
