Traits of a Good Designer www.indipool.com
Welcome to the next century - of POOL! For us, working on the 101st issue is like starting again, so let’s start with the definition of a good designer. Recently, a friend who runs one of Europe’s premier design awards asked me to suggest some Jury members from India. His requirements were very interesting and I thought these could be the traits of good designers in the future...

1. Good English language skills. Have to be able to make an argument. No silent, shy observers please.
www.indipool.com pool@indidesign.in
2. Females preferred. 3. Either working in a company or having their own studios with a considerable output – NO jurors who are ‘only’ academics.
@indipoolmag
4. High-level VIPs who are known (in the industry), with a good name and unquestionable qualification in their field. People have to trust them to make an objective decision.
Designindia was founded in 2002. It was started as a platform for interaction for the design community in India and abroad. Over the years it has grown into a forum spread over many social and professional networking domains, linking design professionals into an active, interactive and thought leading community.
5. A realistic, commercial, ‘designer as a service-provider’ view on design. No over-critical, ‘artistic’ designers. 6. No ‘design politicians’ – who are traveling from lecture to lecture and event to event without putting out any work. 7. International experience would be good, but not absolutely necessary (but English language skills are a must). Sudhir
