When you're the only designer in a company, how do you convince the business of the value of design? Ian - "You leave." SAVAGE 🙌🏻 🙏🏻

Great job as usual guys, however I had a recommendation. The last community question you asked Ian on future function of design and new the methods or roles of design is I believe, the most important question to be addressed for anyone aspiring to be a designer. I would really like you to elaborate more on that question and perhaps come with follow up questions to what is for example the best methods on a specific issue depending on the guest you interview ? or difficulties on using certain methods vs others, challenges and future implications. Overall great interview and great questions but I felt the last one went so quick for the importance it has.

Good interview. He's thoughtful, I'll give him that. I just saw him in the Netflix documentary Abstract S02E05. It took his team 3 months to conceptualize a square and a circle for the Instagram icon. They did it using a process that was akin to throwing spaghetti at a wall. Seriously looked like a satire.

@davidphilpott9831 6 жыл бұрын

Can you ask more focused questions that have actionable takeaways? For example, what design books/content would they recommend. Are there any specific apps that they use? Productivity and design hacks etc.

So much intelligence behind such a boring, repetitive app. Why? The user does not come first. Money does. But the users get bored and leave.

@dalveorts29 7 жыл бұрын

not a single interesting or relatable design matter from this guy. All this dull manager chit-chat is a good sign that there's not much creativity to talk about at Instagram.

This is probably the most inspiring and relevant talk I've listened to that discusses the larger context in which how good design can happen. Design isn't just about execution. Good design happens when the environment is fertile. Many companies do not get it and their product quality suffers as a result. Without a great design leader setting boundaries and educating the management team, good design simply can not happen.

What the heck is "eKcetera"? It's eTcetera. The guy doesn't even speak English well. I can't take him seriously if he lacks basic command of his "native" language.

@amberleaf7 7 жыл бұрын

Facepalm * when people overuse the word "etcetera" when they talk, and they butcher it up every time by saying exetra. So lame. No wonder Instagram is 50% fake bullshit, fake accounts, robot likes, generic robot comments, ETCETERA.

So „Latin“ is his native language?

Luckily of us, him, and Instagram, you taking him seriously doesn’t matter.
