Slideshows are some of the best ways to make a long story short, which is why they’re so well suited to the Internet’s short attention span. FastCo.Exist’s eight photos capture the gist of some of the important innovations by college design teams. E4C’s content strategist Iana Aranda tweeted the link.

That’s the eye-catching start to Catapult Design’s blog post called “Four ways to break the design process mold.” Catapult’s blog posts are succinct and instructive and they’re often relevant to designers of sustainable and appropriate technologies. We highly recommend the blog.
