Week 6

Webinar 6 – Collaboration

How to maintain egalitarian place (there is automatically hierarchy)?

Inspire new ways of thinking, making
Not get lost with how to make it democratic => most important in collab is respect and openness

Assignment studio practice (some of my thoughts):

-> It mentions the possibility to design a customer journey map if developing a new community organisation -> how get local people involved?

What differentiates collaboration vs work by a group of people ? (Louis asked on the ideas wall) -> not easy to differentiate

How can you bring your ideals, vision, dreams for graphic design or design approaches, methodologies into design practice?
Adidas + Edison Chen -> shoes with beads -> unconventional and usually beads are done in community projects (Africa, Asia..) -> individual designer is praised
Bless service design + Martin Margiela
- interested in circular economies
- working with existing materials
- transforming materials
- used old fur to produce head pieces
Vivian Westwood project ‘Made with love in Kenya by artisan fashion’ -> -> Is it collaboration or an interdisciplinary Co operation?
- Mark her products with being made by artisans (vs Adidas focus on the designer)
How can you add value to a brand? (As a designer)
and will people recognise your style, value that you bring to a project? Is it important that audiences, clients etc recognise a style? (Example Sarah Boris – signature style)
Ex shop design: Often its not just about designing a logo its about bringing the values of the company into the shop

Who do you want to be as a designer and what kind of clients would you like to have? What service you want to bring out?
