SUMMARY:AIGA Presents "Designers Are Not Makers" at the Helms Design Center
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 15 please join us as we welcome AIGA to the Helms Design Center for a series of discussions and presentations for the design community. \nThe first topic\, “Designers Are Not Makers”\, addresses the growth we have witnessed in “maker” culture\, leading to increased access to the tools and information needed to tinker\, program\, and build custom products and solutions. Manufacturing can now happen on a desktop as easily as in a home workshop. The benefits of stepping away from a computer to work with your hands continues to gain influence in business and culture. Yet\, with all the focus on making\, it is the designer who gets celebrated once the “making” becomes mass production. \nQuestions to be discussed:\nAs digital technology continues to insert itself into our daily lives\, what is the role of the tactile?\nWhat is the importance of physical creation in a world of digital technology\, virtual reality\, 3D printing and rapid prototyping?\nAnd where does the act of designing stop\, so the role of making can take over? \nAgenda\n6:45 PM: Meet & Greet\n7:30 PM: Introduction\n7:35 PM: First Speaker\n8:05 PM: Second Speaker\n8:30 PM: Q&A\n8:50 PM: Closing Remarks\n8:55 PM: Giveaways\n9:00 PM: After Party \nTicket Pricing\nMembers (Contributing & Supporting): $15\nMembers (Sustaining & above): Free\nNon-Members: $25 \nRequests for cancellation refunds may be granted only up to 24 hours before the event starts. \nAbout The Speakers \nAndrew Byrom is a British-born designer and educator based in Los Angeles.
