The Adaptive Graphic Designer
Wednesday, October 14, 12:00pm to 1:00pm
TBD
Graphic design is often defined by what we make, but behind every outcome is a way of thinking, making decisions, solving problems and communicating ideas. The Adaptive Graphic Designer looks at “Method” through the designer’s own evolving practice: the skills, processes and approaches that allow us to move between disciplines and respond to change. The workshop component invites participants to examine their own creative method, identify where their skills can expand, and think more intentionally about the kind of designer they want to become.
