What can we learn from the history of design and from contemporary design theory? How do people use
designs and technology at different times and in different cultures? Here we draw on cultural theory to
understand innovation, creativity and design and answer questions such as these. Learners will be introduced
to key topics through case studies in such as consumer and consumption studies, the history and theory of art
and design; studying and theorising objects; advertising and display; and, the trends that are likely to shape
innovation and design going forward.
