Awareness of design is at an all-time high. People are now encouraged to hold strong opinions about the font on a movie poster, or the feel of a smart phone, or the intuitiveness of an email program. Tapping into this awareness of the built world helps set the stage for telling stories about design. Someone made a decision about every little detail in the built environment. When these decisions are highlighted, the audience suddenly becomes aware that every corner, every seam, and every joint has story.
