What’s ‘good’ design?
It’s so hard to be original.
We’re saturated, don’t we need less, so why design more?
How can we evolve truly unique ideas?
Should ‘good design’ be commercial or could it provide escapism and tempt us to ‘fly’ ?
We’ll examine, contradict, deconstruct, agree and disagree.
You’ll understand how a true designer thinks and be provided with tools to unravel idea generation and creativity as a process, which may then be applied to any design field.
Suitable for: Designers / Students, wanting to become a designer
