This article goes along the same line in my views on technology and innovation. I could see the appearance of so many creative collaborative sites. Even with my favourite photographers, designers-no one works alone. Well, no successful project happens in a vacuum or in isolation. I’ve learned my lesson after working for myself for the last 9 years. When I had a business partner it was a double edge sword—what I really appreciated was her pushing me to raise the bar on design while each of us with dominant personality managed eachother.
As designers we have a propensity for DIY projects. Everything always starts there with some exploration, experimentation and, deconstruction. The advent of sites and magazines like Make, Technology hobby shops and dyi project site scrambles our established notion of how things work. Innovation in technology or creativity always comes from this kind of discovery. Why else would we have a passion to learn new things and be challenged or to challenge the notion of convention. Being open minded enough to allow another point of view in this process-wouldn’t it push this innovation to another level? I remembered once how a design teacher once told us, “there is no I in industrial design”. I believe that it holds true to all creative endeavors that doesn’t fear to hit the next level.
I honestly look forward to trying out this environment. Yes, I’m aware of the politics when working in a group-but isn’t that way there are project managers or mediators in a creative brain storming session?
