There are a few interesting articles out there for the Industrial Designers that surf through this blog. Over on BusinessWeek there’s “Wanted: VPs of Design” (Link)<\/a> that’s worth taking the time to read.

\nOn news that an old design school friend, Frank Tyneski, is taking over as President of the Industrial Design Society of America (Link)<\/a>, both these pieces got me thinking. When I remember Frank, I don’t really recall him being the kind of designer that eventually sits at the “legendary table where all the big decisions are made”. Not really.
