The design symposium make up your mind organised by the women designer's forum (registered association) looks into the daily and specifically design related factors, interconnections, and impacts of decision making.
The annual conference of the women designer's forum will shed a light on the aspects of decision making which are specifically relevant to design.
The creative process of designing is characterised by constant decision making.
Designers depend on their willingness to make decisions and to carry the involved risks.
The circumstances of design projects often remain unclear.
It is hard to work efficiently with aims not necessarily being clearly defined, hierarchies often not being transparent and the genuine motivation of the client kept in the dark.
Frequently it is the designers who have to create the sound foundation for an efficient co-operation by asking questions, challenging and completing the briefing.

Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual will be a reference tool for working designers, as well as students, that will provide information and guidance for design projects in much the same way that books such as The Chicago Manual of Style and Strunk & White's Elements of Styled for writers and editors, or that Elements of Typographic Style(Robert Bringhurst) or Graphic Design Manual (Armin Hoffmann) do for graphic designers.
Unlike these latter two publications, and similar books that focus on specific aspects of graphic design structure, typography, or color Elements of Graphic Design will address a variety of concerns: space and composition; color theory; typographic structure and hierarchy; concept and messaging; symbol, abstraction, and representation; pacing and sequencing; and production.
Projects of any size or medium print, packaging, interactive, environmental are encouraged.
All projects submitted for consideration must have been produced within the past year, and must not have appeared in any other Rockport book.

Following on the success of Brasil Inspired, Disorder in Progress digs deeper into Brazil to present a compelling overview of the diversity and vigor of Brazilian visual culture.
Brazil is a country of incomparable cultural diversity and brash contradictions.
While Brasil Inspired featured vivid inspirations of Brazil, Disorder in Progress shows the mixed reality and adopts the motto of the national flag "Ordem e Progresso".
Initiated by Brazilian designer Nando Costa (editor of Brasil Inspired and a key contemporary Brazilian designer) this book compiles original works by both unknown and internationally renowned designers.
Violence, hardship and national tensions ranging from bureaucracy to large scale political corruption all conspire to provide a complex raw material.
The work showcased in Disorder in Progress is simultaneously exquisite, refined, polished, attractive, elegant, fine, subtle and striking.
Illustrated in black and white in its entirety to contrast with the vibrant, glossy exterior, the book parallels the way Brazil can be characterized - vibrant and colourful on the outside yet dark and complex inside.
Artists featured include: Carlos Bêla, Colletivo Design, Stephan Doitschinoff, Raquel Falkenbach, Linn Olofsdotter, Eduardo Recife, Nando Costa and many more.
