Spring 2008: Developing

For designers, there is nothing constant except change: the materials we work with, the things we work on, the people we work for. We develop film, software, ideas—we even develop countries—and in doing so, we are constantly redeveloping what design is all about. In this issue of Ambidextrous we take a look at these many different definitions of development and developing.
