Design director working with research labs. One foot in the board room, one on the street.

Are you a bit depressed about design? This book might help you understand why. 😆
Sounds like an awesome read 🙌🏼
@duaneking pretty sure you’ll love this one as well…

Yes. I have a hard time saying "the water is fine, come on in" these days. There are sharks. Beware the sharks.

Not depressed just realistic. More concerned about the younger people I work with, hinting that they should not drink the kool aid. 😎

Yes! On my reading list but sold out. I was seeking a copy only last week.

Much like CAPS LOCK by Ruben Pater, it is more about honest realism of the economic system within which we operate and design's role within it, from number systems, coins, banknotes, documents, advertisements, interfaces, typefaces, information graphics and more.
