THEPERSONALITY
OF DESIGN
Friday, March 30, 2012
Our dependence on technology to share and cooperate is radically changing the traditional framework of how we develop and promote creative solutions.
Heretofore, creative services were often provided by actors working in semi-isolation, producing works of beauty and pragmatism.
We have been conditioned to overvalue the the most highly visible, assertive and celebrity-like behavior, thus marginalizing the autonomous thinkers.
A re-invented model for the “introvert” will lead to a more noncomformist, innovative and imaginative designer ideal.

EXTROVERTebullient, expansive, sociable, gregarious, excitable, dominant, assertive, active, risk-taking, thick-skinned, outer-directed, lighthearted, bold, and comfortable in the spotlight
Businesses who employ many artists, designers, and other imaginative types often display a preference for extroversion. “We want to attract creative people,” the director of human resources at a major media company told
me. When I asked what she meant by “creative,: she answered without missing a beat.
“You have to be outgoing, fun and jazzed up to work here.”

personality defines us as much as gender of racewe are living in a time of an idealized, unfair perception of
what a designer should bewe need to change that

“Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me … they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. In fact, the very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone …. I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone… Not on a committee. Not on a team.”
-Steve Wozniak
