Design Thinkers 2011 and the “Exquisite Corpse”

To celebrate how design connects us, we've invited some of our favorite visual communicators to participate in our own version of Exquisite Corpse. This time-honored exercise typically sees collaborating contributors blindly adding to a composition in sequence. No one sees what another has drawn, except for what's necessary to connect one portion to the next.

 

Leading up to DesignThinkers 2011, this large-scale, collaborative work will grow, piece by piece, on all communication materials. It will become our own kind of exquisite body: one collective, interconnected work. Let's connect at DesignThinkers 2011 to see where it takes us.

2012 Dates coming soon!

We invite visual communicators everywhere to assemble in Toronto this fall for the Association of Registered Graphic Designers' 12th annual DesignThinkers Conference, as we discuss the unique insight and problem-solving processes of the designer.
