Chris Doyle, Chris Maclean and I will be giving an AGDA lecture on the plight of the modern brand designer. The talk will be at Australian Museum in Sydney, on Monday 6th of September (a week this Monday). Tickets are available on the AGDA website, $30 for members and students, $55 for none members. The poster (below) pokes fun at some of the criticism designers are exposed to in this newly connected world. Kindly designed by Paul at Naughty Fish.

Very funny with a serious message. I would urge you to watch it. Part of the TED lecture series.

Clinton Duncan has been in touch with TDOD regarding his talk. So for you lucky people in Sydney here are the details:

30 Conversations on Design is a web based project bringing together the thoughts of 30 designers, architects and authors. Each is asked: “What single example of design inspires you most” and “what problem should design solve next.” It is the creation of Joe Cecere, Creative Director at Little&Company.

All students of design take heed.
