New Designers graduate show: Nature
Students go back to nature in projects from the New Designers graduate show. Building blocks that support biodiversity and a textile homage to cold-water swimming feature in this roundup of work from 2020 design graduates, which was presented at VDF by the New Designers student showcase.
Disegno Lockdown Paper
Free to all subscribers, Diesgno have created a special newspaper edition of their quarterly journal created during the Covid-19 lockdown, which explores some of the ways in which design has or may intersect with the virus.
Where are the black designers?
Where are the Black Designers is an initiative which aims to give a platform to creatives of colour. By connecting designers, educators, and creative leaders we hope to start a dialogue about change in and out of the design industry.
