![]() Design for Everyone: Design is a VerbThis July, Melbourne and Victoria will experience design like never before as the State of Design festival brings the city and regional centres to life with over 45 design related events.Design for Everyone, the satellite program of the State of Design festival, is a curated, cultural program which aspires to reveal the "process" behind design. Under the 2008 theme of "Design is a Verb", Design for Everyone will showcase design in varied and dynamic ways. It's about doing, being, making, crafting, thinking, shaping - showing design is a process not an object and that design is for everyone! The diversity of the exhibitions and workshops allows everyone to get involved, from design lovers and professionals to the uninitiated. "The satellite events under the umbrella of Design for Everyone celebrate the unique qualities of Victorian design across a diverse range of disciplines" said Fleur Watson, Curator of the cultural program. "The program is about the democracy of design: open to all. Revolving around the central theme 'Design is a verb!' participants will explore the creative process of design rather than focusing on the end result of designed objects." Design for Everyone offers designers a rare opportunity by providing a space for design in all its guises and allowing the public direct interaction. event (ended) current design events more Design for Everyone: Design is a Verb design directory Design Events added by Levent OZLER |
