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.

As a result of his severe dyslexia, Steve Edge’s love of the arts grew to become his life's main focus. In particular, he contracted a raging case of advertising and branding fever. At 15, he won a National Young Artist’s Award that caught the attention of a top London graphic design studio that offered him a job as a junior designer. Today, Steve presides over his own in-demand design studio, where his clients include Cartier, Christian Dior, Marks & Spencer, Purdey Gun & Rifle Makers and Hamleys Toy Store.

    Topic: Lateralism

    Lateralism is a movement of lateralists: people who think creatively and from different perspectives. What lateral means, in short, is sideways. What it means for us is a new view, an innovative way of thinking and challenging what is normally just accepted. It’s sidestepping the obvious and challenging assumptions. It’s fresh, reinvigorating, exciting. The term lateral is the foundation of Edge Design Ltd. It's our philosophy and underlies every idea and project that we huddle over in our studio. It’s our movement.
