The Creator Class

I found this article on a the designer entreprenuer craze.....its pretty interesting!
enjoy!

On Friday, I will be presenting my new thoughts on the emerging Creator Class. It’s a focus on multi-skilled creative minds who feel they can turn their hand to multiple product and service offerings, often challenging they way established industries operate.
Some of the people that I’d put in this category are featured in a new book called Design Entrepreneur: Turning Graphic Design Into Goods That Sell. This book features folks like Paul Budnitz of KidRobot and other graphic designers turned product developers.
I think these design entrepreneurs fit within a larger group I’m calling Creator Class. I want to make sure it includes creative minds that may not use graphic design as the center of their work - folks like Jay Parkinson, the “Web 2.0 doctor” (see our video on him here).
BUT…. I NEED YOUR HELP - I haven’t completed the presentation and with my travel to the opposite time zone, my head is fuddled and I can’t think of these individuals (and sometimes duos) who are making change. I’d love some help - could you make some suggestions in the comment box below?
THANKS!
