100 year of design & aviation

Article Abstract:

A report about a century of powered flight, which began with the Wright brothers on the dunes of Kitty Hawk in December 1903, which has seen quantum advances through the century in aircraft engineering, is presented. The romance of aviation captured Hollywood's heart, with movies being made in aviation background and movie stars enlisted to inaugurate new routes, and commercial aviation grew up alongside the new professions of industrial and graphic design.

Decorating for dummies: Why HGTV is bad for design, and why it may be our own fault

Article Abstract:

The Home and Garden TV (HGTV) channel airs programs on renovation, redesigning and redecoration but does not touch the important design skill, which is the ability to articulate what is right and wrong about a particular approach. The HGTV is seen to be rooted in the 1950s, with fake controversies, easy answers and small morality plays in the age of reality channels and programs.
