Faces of Design - April 2010
The online presence of Faces of Design is mainly an information portal and career platform for designers. Interdisciplinary and intercultural in nature, they help designers raise their game by providing them with inspirational and informative content, and by building connections with industry players.
Based on their belief that communications, cooperations and partnerships are an invaluable asset to any individual or company, Faces of Design has decided to launch a new programme to foster the dialogue between creatives and companies on a more concrete level. Together with some of their friends and partners, they now offer a range of different formats, from hands-on design workshops to inspirational talks and symposia. A series of seminars on design thinking is due to be launched later this year, and they are greatly looking forward to the first BAUHAUS live design workshop with Werner Aisslinger in Berlin:
*BAUHAUS live: New interdisciplinary design workshop programme in Berlin
From June 7th until June 12th, Faces of Design will be organising the first BAUHAUS live design workshop "My Visionary Bauhaus" in Berlin, together with Hidden Fortress.
