“If you work in the creative industries you’ll need to be at Semi-Permanent 2010 – New Zealand’s largest annual design gathering and the only event of its kind in Australasia.
Semi-Permanent is a celebration of all things design – graphics, fashion, animation, illustration, motion graphics, typography, sound design, live audio-visual art, interactive and experiential marketing, fine art, music, product design and more.”
I haven’t been for the last few years so I’m ready to re-fuel the inspiration bank! Running over two days (Fri 20th – Sat 21st August) the organisers have managed to ensure a stacked lineup of quality designers. http://www.semipermanent.co.nz/#programme
Starting at 9:45am each day also goes to show how well the event is catering to the local design community!
Here is a great video by Jason Santa Maria about the influence of print design on the web. It is part of a lecture series done for the The MFA in Interaction Design program for the School of Visual Arts in New York.
Definitely worth a watch for any web designers out there who are keen to look at the bigger picture of the web medium for design.
In some cases going straight to video may sound negative to some people. In this case however it means another way to tell my story. The good people at Silverstripe had recorded my presentation at the Wellington Web Meetup and it is now up on Vimeo for people to watch. It provides a further context to my slide presentation and I hope let’s people understand a bit more about my presentation with the main goal of sharing their processes with others too.
At the end of the slide I also share some of the books and sites which have inspired me and help me develop my design processes and ideas. I hope you find it of value and go on to share your experiences and inspirations with others too…
