Back in the day, I used to work for a print magazine where I sat at a big desk packed with designers and copy editors. At least once a month I’d hear someone say, “Nobody can do this job like me. I can never be replaced.” I once heard those words slip from the mouth of a designer among the lot — a nice guy, but a bit arrogant. Then, he got fired. His replacement? A Photoshop plugin.
\nPoint is, we have to evolve to be able to survive in the world of design, and that means adapting to new technologies. But what are<\/em> those new technologies? FastCo. Design<\/a> recently put out an article on the subject, where they speculate on what they think that list should be. They include:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Augmented Reality Designer<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nAt CES they announced the price of the Oculus Rift<\/a>, and even though it has its drawbacks, make no mistake: virtual reality is here. They’re going to need designers to make those things happen.
\n\"\"\n<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>Intelligent System Designer<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nThe things we do on a regular basis are getting more and more complex, and eventually we will need people to manage those systems. From the FastCo. Design article:\n<\/p>\n

The intelligent system designer doesn’t design discrete objects or experiences, so much as the software systems that make possible the design solutions of others. This designer works as part of a large and diverse network of specialists to create a continually evolving lingua franca of aesthetic production. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nSound complicated? You betcha.\n<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>Chief Design Officer\/Chief Creative Officer<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nRight now, all of the big acronyms in a company have to do with the business side of things, but in the future, design will rise up the ranks. Think about Apple and its structure; Jony Ive is the Chief Design Officer, and they’ve had tons of success with him on their team. Those companies that put design up front as a priority will succeed, and that’s where this role comes into play.\n<\/p>\n

\nThere’s a ton more to the piece, so head over to FastCo. Design<\/a> to check out more.
