Conversations on March 31st 2010

New trends and best practices for web typography – Maak Bow (www.bka.co.nz)
Why type on the web sucks and why it is changing. Maak will be talking about exciting new tools for anyone who designs for the web.

Design for social good – Jade Tang
Every good designer knows what good design is, but what do they know about designing for good – social good. Graphic designers have a more important role to play than ever, a role where we can utilise our skills and knowledge to make a real difference. Jade will walk us through the what, who, why and how of Social Design.

Designing an Arts Community – Elise Sterback
Elise will be speaking in a philosophical fashion about questions of community in the design sector. She wishes to inspire DA members to think about how they are connected to each other on a local and global level. She will present a quick flyover of policy developments in the arts sector and creative industries, including some light analysis of current issues raised by the arrival of the Auckland supercity.
