Karen McGrane, Design Management faculty, contributes to the current issue of The Manual, a new publication that chronicles the maturing of design on the web:
Karen McGrane, Mark Boulton, Josh Brewer, Alex Charchar, Trent Walton, and Cennydd Bowles connect the dots we never knew existed in 6 articles that bring us to tears, challenge us to matter in our work and in our world, and set us straight on complexities in design. After heart-wrenching tragedy, a color-filled journey back as a man and as a designer; after one book, graphic design is diminished to fluffy pink frosting on a layer cake; after a woman goes digital, the world cracks open for her—yet she treasures the complex over the easy to use. What do archaeologists and pop cans, Texas BBQ, Miles Davis, the Hoover Dam, a silver fish, a rat, and a toaster have in common? In the words of remarkable writers they enrich our thinking about web design.
