Well, I for one will miss it...Design Week that is. With this week seeing the last 'hard copy' version of our weekly industry news, things won't quite be the same again.
Yes, I know, it'll still be available online, but it's not the same is it? I shall miss the anticipation of our 'postie' arriving on a Thursday morning brandishing the latest week's design news and gossip. (I never have managed to work out why we seem to get it the day after the rest of the world down here in Wales!) Then the fight that would ensue in the studio to see who would be the first to rip it out of it's plastic cover and delve into the weeks news.
OK, so you can still get it online, big deal, but you won't be able to scrawl all over it, circle things in red marker, insert exclamation marks, write rude comments on it, draw moustaches and glasses those of our peers who we're finding particularly annoying that week. We can't us stick Post-its all over it or rip things out and stick them on the wall.
So, I shall mourn the loss of the 'hard copy'.
Like everything else these days we are being encouraged.... No, forced to 'access it' through a computer screen. No longer can I brew a coffee, put my chair into 'recline mode', put my feet up on the desk and take a break from staring into a monitor.
So I shall mourn the loss of the 'hard copy'. I've been with it since the beginning..25 years!
Only time will tell whether I take the time to go on line and access the latest weeks design gossip quite as regularly as I have to date.
