The INDEX: design competition has been getting some press lately and I’m remiss in not bringing it up here. I was impressed with the winners and more hopeful for the state of design in general after seeing what projects received recognition. What a nice change from the mostly incestuous situation we have now in the design community. You can find the announcement over on the INDEX: website here. And for a nice write-up check out this article on BusinessWeek. Nicely done.
