Speakers + Theme Refinement



Questions to ask about my theme:
  • What do I mean by "anatomy"?
  • Are there other meanings within my design, for example passion and vigour?
  • Make sure to pay attention to the distinction between art and design with my speakers 
  • Practice vs differentiation? 
5 speakers - 1x keynote speaker, 4x normal speakers

Speakers


Keynote Speaker Kate Moross - London designer, art director etc. Offers international perspective and has spoken at many conferences before.



Harry A'Court - creative director/designer at Inject. Offers industry perspective.




Kate Cullinane - Author and graphic designer, Auckland. Offers industry perspective.



Shane Cotton - NZ Artist. Offers fine arts perspective.



Tony Seddon - Author of many typographic and design books. Offers theoretical perspective.

Theme Direction

Focusing on:

  • the anatomy of design, the physical makeup of a good piece of design - its typography, layout, hierarchy, etc.
  • offering both industry perspectives, and theoretical perspectives. 
  • Think about: the semantics of my visual metaphor - "getting inside a good piece of design" "inside perspective" "cutting something open" "if my conference is called "guts" should literally use "guts" and maybe not vital organs?
  • If I was to use organs, perhaps put something in title about how each design practice or tenet is very important, vital, like an organ?
