The 10th anniversary issue of the Design Indaba magazine, entitled Conversations, offers readers an opportunity to listen to nine conversations with 19 designers on everything from lobola to the debate over art versus design. Heath Nash asks, "What is your opinion on the differences between art and design?" Massimo Vignelli replies, "Design is utilitarian; art is useful and non-utilitarian," but Milton Glaser adds, "Every once in a while though, somebody who thought they were doing design, does enter into the realm of art." The magazine is available at selected Exclusive Books, Woolworths, other stockists and online.
