Kinfolk Issue Eighteen: For our winter edition we explore the relationship between community
and design. How can design strengthen bonds with our families friends and neighbors? And how
can good design improve our quality of life? Design is a type of communication. It's about the
way an object or idea speaks to its audience. But good design not only gets its message
across-it also engages us in a conversation. The voices in this issue's pages have taught us
that there's no set of rules that govern what constitutes good design. Form doesn't have to
follow function function doesn't have to follow form-in fact there shouldn't be any following
at all only leading.
