Change, innovation and originality lie at the heart of good design, so this symposium addresses these issues, looking at current trends and future needs in the industry. It brings together educators, industry professionals and businesspeople to exchange and challenge ideas about contemporary design practice.
Covering all design disciplines, the Billy Blue symposium discusses the education of young designers in Australia, while design activity and curriculum development also come under the microscope.
Four practitioners and four educators speak on different perspectives of design and design education. This free exchange of ideas should strengthen the relationship between industry and educators in relation to applied design education and its practice.
The symposium also explores the potential for innovation in Australia and the world by using Design (Thinking) – a creative process with a positive resolution through collecting ideas. This is a must-see event for all professionals, educators and students of design.
8.30am-5.30pm, Friday 13 August
Billy Blue College of Design auditorium, Level 9, Northpoint Building, 171 Pacific Highway, North Sydney
Cost: $20 for industry/educators; $10 for students. For bookings, visit Billy Blue College of Design
