of Hertfordshire It explores how contemporary kinetic typography relies on historical developments such as 3D woodblock print Romain du Roi and Modernist modular lettering Students are encouraged to let their design work respond to historical research This does not mean creating something that looks old or retro rather creating something innovative and new by re-imagining historical ideas in light of new technologies and contexts Barbara Brownie http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3284 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:20:19 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3272 Metal setting is practised today by only a handful of specialists but it continues to provide the standards by which good typesetting is judged Photosetting and the computer setting which has largely displaced it are criticised for being too perfect and lacking the character of hand-crafted type Now increasingly designers are using desktop publishing systems such as the Macintosh to do their typesetting The technology has matured considerably over the last two years and the time is ripe for a reassessment is good typesetting possible on the Macintosh Andy Benedek 1991 Andy Benedek 1991 The craft of digital type Winter

Norfolk NR2 4SF A two day symposium organised by Norwich University of the Arts that will explore the relationship between print and digital and the coexistence of media in a wider sense how they combine and how they provide unique opportunities As the design industry embraces dramatic changes in technology the Cowbird Symposium will look at graphic design as an output a practice and a profession exploring the relationships between print and screen-based communication Guest speakers all leading thinkers and practitioners themselves will be invited to comment on the future of the

reflect on the contribution of migrants to the European society today The Competition should also serve as a first step towards more debate information and opinion exchange The Competition is aimed at students who are over 18 years old and enrolled in art graphic and communication schools in all EU countries and Croatia The schools are to present the works in three categories e Poster Photography and Video Each school can present one or several works in one or several categories The works will be judged at the national level and the best works will be forwarded to a European jury that will decide on European winners A public internet vote will also take place on this website The authors of the 30 European finalist works will travel to Brussels to attend a prize-giving ceremony with expected participation by Cecilia Malmstr ouml m European Commissioner for Home Affairs The schools whose students win first prizes in the three categories and the first prize in the public vote will receive an award of A10 000 each European Commission http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3180 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:52:49 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3173 The Roses Student Awards is a platform

synthesize the final result from a variety of sources and thousands of potential solutions It is not purely a deductive process with a single right answer When you fail to experiment broadly you are building your solution from an anemic set of mental and technical resources It is the equivalent of trying to design a bridge when the only material you ve tested is paper You can certainly build a bridge but it will not be nearly as good compared to someone who experimented with a broad range of materials and construction techniques including steel or concrete Daniel Cook 16 August 2010

assuming that the physical space is being hindered by the growth of digital activity brands and designers are beginning to embrace the newer channels where consumers are choosing to spend their time and deliver a physical environment that adds value around these Get the basic understanding of the new purpose of the physical space right and the physical manifestation of the design will boom from there The key is to design interiors that can respond and morph with social and cultural shifts so that the spaces become a form of cultural commentary adding value to the popular activities of today s audiences Above all interior design must be approached in a way that ensures that the brand communicates a relevant message through this critical channel This can be achieved by considering and responding to three key topics cultural relevance social context and technology integration Lucy Johnston Design Week Fig The Anthropologist iloveretail com http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3080 Mon,

Education Forum National Curriculum Seminar Series 2013 Timing Morning Wednesday 13th February 2013 Venue Central London As the Government concludes its National Curriculum review this timely seminar focuses on the content of the new curriculum for Design and Technology D amp T for each Key Stage due to be introduced into schools from September 2014 - as well as the implementation challenges for schools It will bring together key policymakers with school and college leaders teaching unions universities employers and other stakeholders Delegates will assess the opportunities and challenges presented by D amp T s designation as a foundation subject with a much less prescriptive Programme of Study as well as the level of teaching time required to deliver the new Programme and whether it meets the needs of employers colleges and universities Sessions also focus on wider issues in D amp T including the quality of facilities available in both primary and secondary schools in England the profile and CPD opportunities for D amp T teachers and the role that industry can play in the delivery of D amp T in schools Westminster Education Forum UK Fig 1 Chicago Middle School students

http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3020 A brief is basically a set of instructions that set out what you want your designers to do along with the objectives and parameters of the design project It should make clear what falls within - and outside - the scope of the work This will help everybody refer back to where they started and make sure that the design work is developing according to your objectives It will also help you determine how successful the project has been when you reach the end Unfortunately all too often briefs are agreed verbally - but a well-considered brief can act as a general grounding document if the project appears to be heading in the wrong direction so it s well worth putting something in writing And remember the brief isn t carved in stone it can be adapted as you go along as long as it s done in collaboration with everyone involved and the new version is also written down Design Council UK http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3020 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:15:22

Conference on Design Principles and Practices its associated design journals the On Design Book Series and the Design News Blog are sites of discussion which explore the meaning and purpose of design Participants in these forums also speaking in grounded ways about the task of design and the use of designed artifacts and processes The Conference Journal Book Imprint and News Blog support a cross-disciplinary knowledge community bringing together researchers teachers and practitioners to discuss the nature and future of design The resulting conversations weave between the theoretical and the empirical research and application market pragmatics and social idealism In professional and disciplinary terms the conference journals book series and online media traverse a broad sweep to construct a transdisciplinary dialogue which encompasses the perspectives and practices of anthropology architecture art artificial intelligence business cognitive science communication studies
