City without limits
Article Abstract:
The environment for each episode of 'Futurama' is disposable, according to Claudia Katz, lead producer of 'Futurama' at Rough Draft Studios. She emphasizes that it is very difficult to design the future, as it is impossible to define the future except through things that exist now or through inventions that have a second incarnation. She recognizes that humour is important, and states that contrasts are always funny.

Article Abstract:
There is little innovation in mainstream icon art. Icons must be reductive and redundant, and there are spatial limitations. Major software companies do not even employ designated icon designers. Susan Kare, an icon designer, believes that icons should be simple. Gedeon Maheux, president of Icon Factory, believes there will be a new type of information architecture, which will have to be defined with signage.
