A designer's call

"Designers have the power to change the world and improve people's lives."

Aral Balkan strongly believe this and support this idea greatly in this TED talk:

The statement is very strong, yet must be acknowledged by every designer and taken very seriously, for "with great power comes great responsibility".

Aral gives us a couple of rules to fulfill our call: 

• don't let technology get in the way but take advantage of it as an invisible ally;
• focus on the experience & create things that empower, amuse and delight.

How can I recognize a great design? you might ask.. 

Well, it's easy: "Great design feels like magic" :)

Thanks Aral!
