Here Are All 56 Finalists In Our 2012 Innovation By Design Awards. Design isn’t the gloss applied at the end of the innovation process. Design is the innovation process itself. It begins with a keen insight into how people live and what they need; ideally, it ends with a product or service that’s so intuitive that it seems inevitable. It’s in that spirit that we present our first Innovation By Design Awards. The 56 finalists you see here were culled from the over 1,700 entries we received. (Each was released in some form over the last year.) It’s a startlingly diverse group: Many projects shine a light onto the myriad problems that agile companies and hungry entrepreneurs are battling to solve. Culling this group wasn’t easy. And as you dip into the projects that follow, we hope you’ll be as inspired as we were. Transportation The finalists range from an electric bike by Ideo to the new Ford Fusion. Consumer Products Many of the finalists suggest entirely new sorts of product ecosystems, such as the BioLite CampStove and the Nike+ Fuelband. 2-D Design.
