O P I N I O N

Are designers artists?

Some argue that it is the blend of art and strategic thinking that makes communication design a unique profession. But in the discussion and debate of what we label that which we do, lines are very often drawn between art and business. We want to know what you think.

F R O M  P R E V I O U S  O P I N I O N

What should you be paid for a pitch?

M I S C E L L A N E O U S  N E W S

Europe’s leading designers meet in Athens 9-11 May

15 of Europe's leading design agencies will present in detail some of their most interesting projects. Less theory, more practical content. Attendees will be able to follow them from the first meeting with the client all the way though the creative process and up to the feedback on the delivered project. The cases include the design of the new Swiss banknotes, a Norwegian banned exhibition and everything in between.

Book tickets at http://europeanawards.cmail1.com
Discount for students and groups of 5 or more.
