Futureproof

We've developed new national initiatives to weave the energy of design into business and the public sector. We’ve created practical new programmes to make design education more business-orientated and business education more design-aware. And we have new, inspirational plans to make design more accessible to everyone. Sir George Cox (Chairman) and David Kester (Chief Executive) Design Council

Our annual review from 2004-05 explored the challenges facing Britain, set out what design could do to respond and showed how Design Council initiatives like Designing Demand were starting to make a difference.

It also discussed new plans to make design more accessible to everyone, which eventually resulted in Designs of the Time (Dott).

The review included a short essay on the importance of design, followed by three sections on our work in the areas of business, the public sector and the design sector.
