Started thinking about the state of the act of “making” something back in 2006. Things have changed a lot since then so it’s now more of a picture of that time. As an industrial designer, working in installation design and then interaction design what has surprised me most and what I tried to capture here was the way that the act of making something in a professional sense (which is perhaps why I did not include craft here, you’ll have to forgive me) can now take place in so many different ways (in yellow type), using different tools (in black) and attracting different types of designers (in pink) who train and learn in very different environments (in white).
