Join us Thursday, Nov 10
from 6:30-8:30PM
Join us as we get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of some very influential Bay Area design studios during our Studio Tours. See projects in progress, learn about different firms’ cultures and methodologies, and rub elbows with design luminaries and up-and-comings in the environment that inspires their best work.
Play, Pause, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind.
The circle, square and angled triangle are design’s unsung heroes from the last 50 years. These shapes are the heartbeat of UI/UX and have become the enduring interface symbols that control our devices – and ultimately our world. As designers we must balance our passion for challenging expectations and creating positive change against predictable utility and consistent understanding. And we must also contend with the inertia of design history. What does the future hold for these symbolic shapes that control everything? How can we design the future through our digital experiences? We would love to know what you think.
