Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Architects and designers are looking at Techstyle ® Acoustical Ceilings in a whole new light.
They’re discovering the impressive 0.85 NRC and exploring the panels’ luminescent abilities.
Place a light source behind the panel to unlock unprecedented design flexibility. Make the
ceiling an integral part of your lighting design. Experience the lighter side of Techstyle ceilings.

PIGSKIN.
Because Oklahoma weather is so volatile, the OU Sooners desperately needed an indoor practice facility. But the
construction site was so small, there was no room to store the mammoth bowstring and long-span joists needed to
support the building’s roof. So when the Nucor Vulcraft Group was able to deliver the steel in precisely timed waves,
we were able to help finish the project ahead of time. And give the Sooners the ability to practice through
rain, sleet, snow and dark of night. 24/7 if need be. Sorry about that, guys. ®

CLEARLY COLORFUL. ABSOLUTELY ALUCOBOND.
The vision was innovative: Create a “village” on an 11 acre urban site that reflects the character of the company and becomes a part of the
fabric of the community. The visible accent is the Alucobond® Plus Material used as exterior panels installed in a dramatic manner. Rectangular
panels are oriented vertically and horizontally in a random pattern. The Alucobond Plus panels are used on both renovated and new buildings
to maintain continuity of design. Main colors are three shades of silver-grey metallic highlighted by blue, red, yellow, green and black.
