Nobody puts Lola in a corner. German zookeepers are patiently abiding the wishes of a young seal who escaped her enclosure at the Karlsruhe Zoo and has taken up residence at the zoo's nearby swan pond. Staff there report that Lola has "evaded capture," and seems content to frolic among the pond's usual inhabitants: turtles, ducks, fish and the aforementioned swans. German zoo fans are reportedly lining up to catch a glimpse of Lola in her rule-breaking glory, though she seems to like to keep things on the down-low, mainly coming out at night. Zoo staff have also been careful to keep her fed with salty fish snacks, since she might not be getting enough salt in the pond's fresh water.

There is a thin line between design and development, and as we move into a new decade, this line is becoming extremely blurry. Is it enough to draw beautiful mock ups in Photoshop? Maybe 5 years ago. These days, the average internet user requires more. All beauty, with no substance, gets boring after a while. If your only goal is to impress a community of fellow designers with your flashy designs, you’ll find yourself quickly beneath the tide. 2011 is not about, it’s about function. The trends for this new year and emerging decade are responsive design, constant connection and virtual reality.

 

How will you stay relevant as a designer in 2011? The ultimate goal of a designer is not to dazzle but to entangle. Any designer relevant as a designer can get ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ that are easily forgotten. The supreme designer is able to create an environment wich charms and captivates the user to the point where he does not want to find the ‘Back’ button. Several elements come together to forge such a wonderland: harmonious color under-estimate the power of simplicity. Of course, this has always been the case, but in 2011, you are no longer at the forgiving discretion of the desktop, or even laptop, computer. Now, your design must contend with smart phones, netbooks, tablets and the like. Are you ready?
