Business, and the design industry along with it, is changing. One thing that’s not, is the proven abilities of designers to stay at the helm of that change.   Designing the future we all actually want.   That’s what we’ll be talking about at The Design Effect.    What’s important? What’s relevant for us to pay attention to? What are successful individuals working in business doing now and next? How are they doing it?   The Design Effect isn’t time away from what matters in your day-to-day; it’s an essential day.   Be part of it.   Grab one of the remaining tickets before they sell out: https://lnkd.in/gqmvbsee The Design Effect | 8 October 2024 | 13:30 - 22:00 | The British Museum #Design #EffectiveDesign #DesignEvents #DesignEffect

There is no excuse for not knowing how to articulate the value of design, today. It's in many aspects of our work at the DBA. In fact, you could say it's in our DNA, and most people involved in any way with us will be able to do this - evidence their impact. If you don't know how to do this, or you're feeling a bit rusty on the subject, or you're just feeling a bit bleh! with everything right now, come and spend the afternoon and evening with us next Tuesday and kick those feelings out the window! I promise you that you will not find a more stimulating discussion to be a part of this side of Christmas! You can sit back and take it all in, or you can lean forward and take part. Our speakers are with us all day, so you don't even need to pluck up the courage to ask your question in front of an audience! What would you like to ask Richard Seymour? What would you like to ask Dr. Mary McBride? What would you like to tell Clive Grinyer? You could be sat across the dinner table from them. Make time for you, and I bet everyone notices the next day! You'll certainly have your answer to how to articulate the value of design. See you next week. #TheDesignEffect #dbamember #DesignIndustry #DesignOurFuture

Never give up! I became a designer back when I was 5 years old, but never pursued it professionally because I always thought I could never make much money from it. I earned multiple degrees, one being in digital graphic design, but didn't use it in an official capacity until very recently. I've freelanced for the better part of 20 years and now, I feel like I'm really living out my purpose. What's holding you back from living out yours? #liveoutyourpurpose #graficallyyours #digitaldesignandmarketing

Design & Discovery | This TED Talk by David Carson is worth a watch. His whole point is about communicating information BEFORE our brain actually has time to consciously process what we’re looking at. He humorously reflects on various aspects of design, emphasizing the emotional impact and simplicity of different mediums, from traditional slide projectors to minimalist street signs and graffiti. He shares personal anecdotes, like his misinterpretation of airport gate signs, and critiques both historical and contemporary graphic design practices. Through examples like a minimalist street sign in Milan and a visually compelling yet simple billboard in Florida, he underscores the importance of intuition and emotion in design. He also discusses the power of unique personal experiences in creating impactful work and the value of passion in one's career, concluding with a humorous anecdote about his father's career as a test pilot and the definition of a fulfilling job. The essence of great design lies in its ability to evoke emotion and convey clear messages, leveraging simplicity and personal intuition to create impactful and memorable experiences.

Join the conversation to redefine ‘well made’ for the 21st century Pearson Lloyd is curating a new exhibition at Yorkton Workshops during London Design Festival 2024, which will bring together a diverse array of people and practices to explore ‘well made’ through new forms of production and materiality that respond to the demands of a more ecological future. We are seeking contributions to this dialogue, highlighting the intersection of creativity, sustainability, and quality. The act of making has driven human and cultural evolution for millennia, elevating our existence and surroundings through ingenuity and innovation. However, in recent history, this creative process has been monetised, industrialised and globalised, resulting in rapid social, economic and environmental change. In our collective effort to respond to these challenges, there is a need to redefine our cultural understanding of what it means to be ‘well made.’ Please submit your contribution via this link before July 15th 2024. https://lnkd.in/dWxAEKEZ
