Creative convos was a good experience as it allowed the opportunity to hear from young people who are out in the world designing. My favourite speakers of the week were Eva Cramers and Bafic. Eva, a dutch designer spoke of how she always enjoyed being creative, but never really saw it as a career option; this is something that resonated with a younger me, being told that a career in design wasn't a sustainable safe option. Eva showed us images and a video of her end of year show piece, the amount of work that went in tot he piece was really inspiring and made me realise that this is the opportunity to voice who i am, and who i'm going to be once i leave, and producing something of such a high quality will allow me to show who i am as a designer.
Bafic was another speaker who inspired me, he works in film, photography & other forms of designs, with his process being distributed throughout various platforms eg music and videos. He spoke of making stuff and putting it out there, not being afraid to show the world what you're doing. This is something that i can relate to, if i didn't upload pictures of two t-shirts i'd designed on to social media, then the prawn shop wouldn't be here today. Make it and they will come.
