Service design and the Mario complex

At Service Design in Government, I discovered that service designers see themselves as Mario. But that is an unrealistic model for what service design should be.

"California Arts & Architecture began in 1929 as a magazine for residential design featuring a wide range of styles from Tudor to Mediterranean. When it declared bankruptcy in 1938, the magazine was purchased by John Entenza who transformed it into a modernist haven for design. When Charles and Ray Eames relocated to Los Angeles in 1941, they became friends with Entenza. Ray designed twenty-six covers for Arts & Architecture between 1942 and 1947. Her cover designs highlighted her interest in collage, biomorphic and geometric forms, and pops of color.

"Eames plywood chairs exhibit a functional and sculptural, harmoniously simple design that flexes to fit the sitter through pivoting rubber shock-mount connections. Developed from 1943–48 by Evans Products’ Molded Plywood Division, the project was based initially on a conventional, single-piece seat and back. A two-piece design proved more practical and cost effective, with separate seats and backs formed from sheets of wooden veneer that were glued and pressed between heated steel and plaster molds. Molded plywood chairs were available in ash, birch, rosewood, and walnut veneers in natural, red, or black finishes, or upholstered in a variety of animal hides, fabric, leather, or Naugahyde vinyl."

When you hire smart designers to do something original, you might get as lucky as #Polaroid did when it hired the #EamesOffice in 1972 to promote its newest product, the #SX70 #camera

I just published a profile on the designer Ray Eames last night while trying to get over jet lag. While not an interaction designer, Eames and her husband, were quintessential mid-century designers working across media. Ray thought about data, about making models to work through concepts, making information clear, and if digital had been around, I am sure they would have worked in that media as well.

#HCIHistory overview by @boris: Menus, Metaphors and Materials: Milestones of User Interface Design https://borism.medium.com/menus-metaphors-and-materials-milestones-of-user-interface-design-f3f75481c46c

» Industrial designers are aware of the work by #DieterRams, #RayEames and #EttoreSottsass. Communication designers are aware of the work by #PaulaScher, #OtlAicher and #AprilGreiman. So it only makes sense that user interface designers should be aware of the work by #CordellRatzlaff, #SusanKare and #KaiKrause.«
