At IDSA, we make it a practice to acknowledge our members celebrating significant anniversary milestones. We appreciate our members and their significant contributions to the design community. We look forward to observing many more years together. This month, May 2013, we honor the following members.
The IDSA Executive Committee may vote a Special Award to organizations and projects for: notable results; creative and innovative concepts; and long-term benefits to the profession, its educational functions and society at large. Prior to 1996, this award was given to individuals as well.
These awards are made by IDSA's Executive Committee to individuals whose involvement in and support of design has made him or her a special friend of the profession and major contributor to its long-term welfare and importance.
Every Year the Education Council of IDSA puts out a call for papers to the education community. These papers are then put through a process of peer review and those that are selected are published on the IDSA website. In addition to this, some of the selected papers are then chosen to be presented at the IDSA International Conference and others for the IDSA Education Symposium. For more information on how to submit a paper, please contact Ben Chisholm.
One of the design profession's true visionaries, Steve Jobs, succumbed to cancer on Oct. 5, 2011.
Through his breathtakingly innovative leadership at Apple, Jobs achieved iconic status among designers and business leaders throughout the world. His name has been mentioned alongside Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison as a human being whose talents and ambitions combined to transform life as we know it by delivering deliciously disruptive new tools that enable us to complete both small and unimaginably large tasks more intuitively and more joyfully.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
