The first event in a series of two workshops sharing real field experience in designing key visual and creative merchandise for the contestants of VFCD 2021 Graphic Design Contest

The workshop will be facilitated by Hands Collective – a design agency that has worked closely with UNESCO – an organizer of VFCD 2021.

Benefits:

⬥ Sharing real field experience in designing through prominent projects which the speakers worked on, with a focus on those requiring key visuals, brand identity, and various interactive applications on communication platforms and merchandise. The workshop will propose solutions, starting from analysing the contest topic to creative solutions from thinking to the designing process and making realistic adjustments – similar to the design requirements for VFCD 2021. 

⬥ Offering feedback for contest entries (contestants will need to register in advance), so that the contestants will have time to adjust and complete their entries before submitting to VFCD organizers.

 

Workshop agenda

⬥ How Hands Collective analyse/conduct research on the materials and designing process for prominent, “difficult” yet rewarding projects. 

⬥ Suggestions on how to tackle the topic: the topic of VFCD 2021 is “Creative Future”, and the key visual is expected to be something that is heading towards the future, contemporary yet still based on heritage. Where to start then?
