Title: Designing a Wave: Introducing foreign concepts with design

You know the look a non-Rochester-native gives you when you describe a garbage plate? Remember the original iPhone “buttons” with forced bevel edges? Texture plays a key role in influencing decisions and encouraging understanding of foreign things. This conversation is about introducing unique ideas to new markets with design as a catalyst. We’ll talk about the concept of suggestive familiarity and how to use it to make “weird” seem natural. You know the look a Rochester-native gives you when you say you’re leaving a great job to open a surf shop? Justin does, and he’s going to tell you how design made it less crazy.
