Issue #05: Distraction 

In Eye on Design #05, the “Distraction” issue, we look at how design influences entertainment, technology, work—and your ability to pay attention to it all. We explore how the influx of notifications, screens, and unread emails are shaping the way we think, and we probe how distraction can be a form of escapism and a necessary element in any creative process.
