Alt/Shift-ing

Apologies for the break in blogposts, but in the aftermath of Alt/Shift we have been very busy. Feedback from the event has been excellent and we are already planning a follow up. For Alt/Shift 2.1 we will be working with the digital agency, UsTwo http://www.ustwo.co.uk. The event will take place in the afternoon of Wednesday 17th April from around 2pm and consist of a round table discussion between representatives from design education and a panel of industry experts chosen by Joe Macleod from ‘#Includedesign’. The discussion will explore how creative education could better prepare students to work in the digital context and will be recorded by the Camberwell Press for future publication. After the event UsTwo will be hosting an informal social event with drinks. Further Alt/Shift initiatives are planned to include a collaboration event with Institute of Education, University of London and a book. More on this as it happens – in the meantime here is a round up of some recent projects on the FdA.
