Day two kicked off with a discussion from Elastic – The design animation studio behind title sequences for shows such as Game of Thrones and Westworld.
One thing I got out of this talk was a big focus on the power of collaboration. This is something that I saw throughout semi-permanent – it was never ‘I did this’ it was always ‘we’. I found it interesting that there was such a focus on collaboration and yet our major project is a solo affair for most people.
Mostly what I got from listening to elastic was a very strong desire to bring some animation into my project – I have always enjoyed doing animation work and would like to explore it further if there would be room to do so
Panel Discussion between the talkers from day 1
Again a big focus on ethics and thinking towards a sustainable future –
LIFE CENTERED DESIGN – Designing with life at the center, not people.
Semi-Permanent reflection
Overall it was a very rewarding and eye opening experience. What I got from the conference overall was the idea of really considering making good, ethical decisions in my work. Even for my project I need to think about the implications that could come from it – who benefits, and who looses from this new way of illustrating? What is the future that I am envisioning, could it help the future of humanity?
