People, things and happenings that creatively rocked the design industry!

As the world evolved so did the creative thinking of many! With the rise of technology, thoughts and ideas have become faster to outlay in either physical, visual or representative terms. We look at ideas that have been brought to life and have rocked the planet creatively….

1. The Online Platform Revelation – the rise of the internet: It's almost impossible to even imagine, the sheer colossal magnitude of the internet with its volume of knowledge, highlighted with its capacity for communication and sharing. Not forgetting its accessibility, which is just a tap on a keyboard or a swipe on a screen away. From designers showcasing their work, to the impact of open source platforms, along with a little thing called social media, its incredible ability to express, can best be described as the Digital Canvas for a Creative Generation. The scary part is the planet still hasn't utilised it to its fullest potential as yet. A prime example: YouTube, where everybody can become a filmmaker, and where just a mobile phone is all you need to make you famous!

Despite Ice Ages, Global Warming, World Wars, and a lot of really awful pop tunes, this planet became a pretty cool place to live on. When thinking of great people, the mind usually wanders towards politics, and groundbreaking discoveries, like Nelson Mandela, or Marie Curie. For example, the last person on the planet we'd think of, would be Mike Myers, but no one can deny the greatness rather awesomeness of Austin Powers, or Wayne’s World for that matter!

However some great individuals took cool ideas, and implemented them to make even cooler products, shaping environments, and changing perspectives. From space age, ultra modern cars, to artwork so breathtaking, to be virtually priceless, and fashion that makes people drool and envy, while others raise a conservative eyebrow.

The Sommelier; the expert, the font of human knowledge, the person who knows more about a particular beverage, than anyone else on the planet!

It used to be a traditional calling, where wine, and wine alone, was the only area of specialization. But times have changed, and with that, so have the needs of the hospitality industry, and the demands of the public, from whisky, beer, wine, juice, sake, to water, even!

If it’s drinkable, and can be served, a Sommelier can become the knowledge master of it!

Where can you find a Sommelier?

In most cases, they're to be found in high end restaurants and hotels, or working specifically for a particular brand.
