Emergence -- Young graphic design in France
By Michel Wlassikov
Etapes Graphiques and Michel Wlassikov conducted a survey amongst young French Graphic designers who gave them their thoughts and comments on burning issues like: Independence, New Medias, Vices and Virtues of the New Technologies, and Money.
The result is an interesting picture in which lots of young designers around the world will probably recognise themselves.

Netherlands Design Institute has closed
Sadly, the Vormgevingsinstituut has closed. The Dutch government followed the advice of its arts council not to renew funding on the basis of the Institute's plans for 2001 to 2004. The good news (as previously reported here) is that Minister Rick van der Ploeg decided to fund Doors of Perception for four years as an independent organisation. He has also appointed a commission to help him decide what to do next regarding national design policy.
