I'm very happy to announce that we just released the latest issue of our design mind print and online publication. The new issue, the third print edition and tenth overall, focuses on the theme of "Power."
As the global recession has altered the economic landscape, and digital technologies continue to challenge conventional hierarchies, design mind explores new definitions of influence and power. Who has it, where can you find it, how is it being used, and what happens if you lose it?
Highlights of the new issue include an interview with Philip Zimbardo, the Stanford psychology professor, TED speaker, and Abu Ghraib expert witness known for his infamous 1971 Prison Experiment, in which he recruited students to play prisoners and guards in a mock jail until the project took on a disturbing life of its own.
frog founder and legendary designer Hartmut Esslinger offers readers an exclusive sneak peek of his new book "A Fine Line: How Design Strategies Are Shaping the Future of Business." The book, to be published by Wiley imprint Jossey-Bass on June 29th, delves into frog's iconic work for global powerhouses including Apple, Disney, Lufthansa, SAP, and Sony.
Other features in the new issue include:
- "Wanted: Chief Meaning Officer": How the new social power of marketing can transform business.
- "Power Up": Ten innovative clean-tech and energy startups to watch.
- "In Search Of": Seven design researchers write about their unusual and wonderful discoveries on the job.
- "Design with Intent": How designers can influence behavior.
- "The Appearance of Influence": Do you have to look a certain way to be powerful?
- "The Napoleon Effect": Why small and simple ideas sometimes bring the most success.
- "The Art of the Unfriend": When social networking becomes social stress.
Written by frog designers, technologists, and strategists, design mind provides the design and innovation community with perspectives on industry trends, emerging technologies, and global consumer culture. The magazine is published three times per year and features interviews with high-profile thought leaders along with contributions from external writers, designers, and photographers. The print edition is currently available for purchase online at designmind.frogdesign.com; in San Francisco at Alexander Book Company and Farley’s; in New York at St. Mark’s Bookshop; and in Shanghai, China, at the 100percent design store. Readers can also access select content from the magazine online along with additional Web-only features including a video series, a blog network, and interactive content from frog’s exclusive speaker series events.
The premier print issue of design mind launched in July 2008 and was widely recognized by the design and business community as well as by publications such as BusinessWeek, Forbes, The San Francisco Chronicle and Core77, which called it "a tightly designed, thoughtful tool." The magazine was selected as a winner for 365: AIGA Annual Design Competitions 30, STEP magazine’s STEP Inside Design 100, and Creativity + Commerce, Print magazine’s International Business Graphics review.
This summer, frog design has been invited to produce a special design mind issue in conjunction with the upcoming TEDGlobal conference in Oxford, UK (July 21-24).
