- Better and more accurate printing
- New computer programs allow for faster, and sometimes easier, design
- Designs and typography need to be able to cross media - cell phones, computers, TV, etc.
The idea of the universal message is questioned. Designs become more personalized to the location of their target audience. For example, a design made to be used in the U.S. would probably not work as well in China.
Some typefaces designed since 2000
Anasdair (2003)
Stratum (2004)
Broke Five (2001)
Question: What is one problem that new technology has presented to the design industry?
While I was trying (and failing) to find more on design since 2000 I stumbled on a website listing the recipients of awards for "Good Design 2000: An International Industrial and Graphic Design Competition." Ironically, this is one of the most painful websites I have ever had the misfortune of looking at.

I'm too tired to find a useless fact. Maybe I need some Powerthirst - it has lightning. Real lightning.
