Hi Martin,
Across all the design fields (which I see that definitions of creative
industries covers engineering architecture, software design amongst many
other fileds) are you sure that designer makers includes that large a
proportion.
More to the point. Do you have figures?
Second, don't you find that t si of use to have a term 'design' to refer to
an activity that is different from other activities. For example, one that
gives the ability to distinguish between 'design' aspects of being a
'designer-maker' and the 'maker' aspects of being a designer maker?
Otherwise, perhaps the largest design schools are Bunnings, Wal-Mart and
B&Q?
Best regards,
Terry

Subject: RE: Use of Art and Design as an substantive adjoined term
Dear Ken,
Thanks for the overview. I just want to pick you up on one thing. You say:
"In today's terms, education and division of labour between different kinds
of work has taken a different form. The word "design" involves planning an
artefact by making plans and prototyping those plans. The designed artefact
will eventually be manufactured by a completely separate group of people in
a factory."
Yes, that used to be the case except that in recent years, as I'm sure you
know, there has been a huge upsurge in small scale 'designer-makers'. This
includes small batch edition hand-made or screen printed books, ceramics,
wrapping paper, fabric design, fashion design, 3D design. virtually all
areas of design in the applied arts. I can't remember the figures but this
now constitutes a surprisingly significant portion of the UK creative
industries. That's one of the reasons that I am always against the idea of
defining 'design' in terms of 'a plan for (something or other)'.
Perhaps this is a good reason for adjoining the words 'art' and 'design'. in
whichever order?
Best wishes,
Martin
