2016 White House in Photographs
I’m always thrilled when someone comes out with this series. Last year it was Getty. This year, Medium seems to have grabbed the limelight.
Pete Souza, Chief White House Photographer writes :
For the eighth and final time, I am presenting my annual Year in Photographs. All of them were taken either by me or a White House photographer on my staff. For many of the images, I’ve included the backstory behind the image to provide further context or to share why that image was particularly important to me. Pete Souza, Chief White House Photographer via the Medium.com I tried this experiment to make clickable thumbnails, and IT WORKED!
Problem: Design cannibalism.
The proliferation of ‘inspiration sites’ has created an environment where design can be too reliant on surface-level visuals and not enough on the concept and strategy behind the work. Many creators are no longer looking at design’s rich history or considering the future opportunities to elevate a concept when formulating their research. As a result, design trends are recycling at astronomical rates, all at the expense of true meaning.
This lack of conceptual thinking strips the work of its ability to effectively communicate, which renders it relatively worthless to both the client and the designer. Partners, Wedge + Lever
