O P I N I O N
Globalism vs. Globalisation
In an increasingly global economy, designers find their work both influencing other cultures and being shaped by these influences. Is this new marketplace leading to one dominant style of design or a respect for a diversity of styles?

WIPO establishes Creative Industries Division
In response to the vast economic and employment-generating potential of the
creative industries demonstrated by several national surveys, WIPO
has created a Creative Industries Division (CID). The new branch is tasked:
to develop projects to facilitate the optimal use of the IP system
in the creative industries for continuous economic growth, increased
trade and overall development, and
to assist interested countries in assessing the economic value of
their creative sector through the preparation of national surveys
following the methodology contained in the WIPO "Guide on surveying the
economic contribution of the copyright-based industries."
To serve the needs of the creative industries worldwide, including policy makers,
the CID will develop partnerships with members of academia, representatives of
professional bodies and managers of cultural/creative enterprises.

IWDS 2006 will emphasise creative practice in design support and promotion schemes, new concepts within this field and emerging demands. It will present strategic plans from countries which have successfully integrated design into their core activities for economic development.
IWDS 2006 will also discuss the contribution of different design support schemes to the development of countries and the scope of this contribution (economic/social/cultural). This topic will progress towards the development of measurement tools for the objective assessment of investment in design support programmes.

Arabic for Designers
http://www.markbattypublisher.com
Arabic for Designers features over 200 examples of the best in contemporary Arabic graphic design and typography. This book provides a framework for designers unfamiliar with Arabic script. From newspaper and television news typefaces, to book jacket designs, to posters, to logotype conversions, to case studies about specific design and brand identity projects, Arabic for Designers demonstrates how designing with Arabic can yield incredibly innovative, beautiful and successful results.
Compiled from over 40 years of working with an array of corporate and creative clients, Mourad Boutros’s insight on how to design with Arabic provides the groundwork upon which designers will be able to apply their trade.
