Some of the highlights from the event:
Greyworld
This was from the first talk by Andrew Shoben from Greyworld. Greyworld make huge installation art that is interacted by and interacts with the public. I think that this is so much better than the majority of art that is published. He said that greyworld name their work after what it physically is rather than giving it a pretentious name (e.g Damien Hirst) which alienates and is disconnected with the general public.
Kate Morross
The take home point from Kate's talk was that the future of design is multi-disciplinary, and that there will be less demand for designers that specialise in one area of design and more demand for designers that are well versed in a range of disciplines and excel in some areas.
Mark Farrow
Mark Farrow had an interview with Design Week which mainly consistent of talking through various pieces of work through history. Some of the work that caught my attention:
Medically inspired cd packaging for Spiritualized
A running theme throughout his work is simplicity and standing out from what exists already.
