Polaroid 500 Replacement

workshops

From September 21 to 23, in London, will be held greengaged , a series of meetings and workshops dedicated to environmental sustainability in design, analyzed from every point of view (I will go to this ). Venue the Design Council price free (booking online). I wonder why in Italy, the only free workshops are only the demonstration of various equipment or software, all other costs are from € 150 / 200 up (with a few notable exception ). Do not think it's always been a frenzied search for money, such as Design for organized by Aiap is anything but that. I think it's an organizational issue. In London, the designers featured are all or most residents (ergo no charge for accommodation or travel, apart from charging the oyster or taxi). For us, however, they are called designers from around the world (which also says a lot about the "made in Italy") which, of course, you have to pay air taxis, lunches, dinners and hotels.
In addition, while the purpose of greengaged is to share more good design practices (that fucking term) and then the public is represented mainly by professionals, the workshops are aimed almost only Italian university students (in fact, from the point of view of the course seem more condensed and the true master of the workshop). What more if it were not that good then they, in part recover some credit, they are not able to put into practice what learned almost nothing and store it as any lesson, perhaps a bit more fun.

How To Bandge Dogs Elbow

Think Public

Wandering between sites sustainable graphic design (of course all made in UK) I came across an agency, to define innovative is an understatement. The name, Think Public, says a lot about what they mean by design and communication and, glancing at their site, you can make fairly accurate idea about their work, both as results as a method. Just curious because, during my brief trip to London in late August, I went to track them down and have a chat. Meanwhile, be in a study that only clients from the public sector (a term that encompasses both the public itself is the tertiary sector) is amazing. Even more astonishing the fact that the atmosphere is relaxed (not your Italian fooling around). But the truly amazing thing is the method, or the fact of involving stakeholders in the whole creative process.
came to my mind as some considerations. Meanwhile, the difference with respect to the concept of community is the United Kingdom and Italy. For them, the community is (block, district, city) where a reality of group belonging is derived only from the fact of being there. Obviously, this creates the social differences between rich communities and poor communities but within them, there are no large discrimination based on sex, religion or politics. This belongs to the community makes sure that everyone is concerned about the common good. Policy in the first place. And this leads to the realization social design projects that do not change address (or not close) according to changes in local councils or boards of directors.
Then, it is interesting to note that the third sector is very interested in design, not only for fundraising but, more importantly, because it considers itself a social actor and, therefore, is very attentive to their image and do not appear constantly as a beggar (Oxfam shops seem to sell Benetton but only used, for example).
Finally, the fact that they share their methods (which I had already noticed among other eco-friendly design agencies) and to create networks of relationships. Then, probably, Think Public (and others) are of the Flies white, but at least they are there. In Italy would be regarded as political activists in the UK are simply a design studio.
