“A plan for arranging elements in such a way as to best accomplish a particular purpose…[which] depends largely on constraints”
Charles Eames
Two thirds of companies who ignore design have to compete mainly on price. In companies where design is integral, just one third do so.
More than eight out of ten design-led companies have introduced a new product or service in the last three years, compared to just 40 per cent of companies overall.
A business that increases its investment in design is more than twice as likely to see its turnover grow as a business that does not do so.

Print is a medium that ships with intuitive interaction built in.
Printed Electronics can be an enabling tool for functionality that exploits these interactions.
Successful mass market products focus on user experience.
