Caring about usability makes you a great designer, but caring about the new generations makes you a great human being.
Educator
Plastic Communication
This workshop is designed to introduce students to the role of the designer as a facilitator in a communication setup. Here, we delve into the understanding that designers are not solely dedicated to beautifying randomly through instinct. On the contrary, we follow rules to pursue efficiency in message communication. We explore how decisions related to color, fonts, forms, interactions, and more are premeditated and carefully applied in support of the intended message.
