Those who make cutting edge designs continuously hone themselves and stay sharp.
There’s more to the 2017 adobo Design Awards Asia (aDAA) than finding out who the region’s best designers are; it’s learning about how to win the awards of the very near future from design masters in talks and workshops tailored for design professionals, enthusiasts, and students.
On it’s 8th year, aDAA will once again present adobo Design Series. New for 2017 is the D&AD Workshop. D&AD of London—the world’s toughest design awards—is once again supporting aDAA for the second straight year.
adobo Design Series
On March 29, the adobo Design Series presents a full day of inspiring design talks by the adobo Design Awards Asia 2017 jury led by D&AD president Bruce Duckworth and includes fellow aDAA jurors Harvey Tolibao, CJ De Silva-Ong, Quark Henares, Wawi Navarroza and Patrick Cabral. D&AD resident trainer Alex Lampe also participates with a short talk on the Internet of Things.
D&AD Workshop
On March 30, Alex Lampe returns to conduct the D&AD Workshop “From Zero to Hero: Creating Connected Emotive Experiences,” an interactive conference, lecture, and workshop on creating experiences that connect with people in the world of technology, from 9am to 3pm.
The D&AD Workshop will feature hands-on sessions where the participants themselves innovate, make, and play, with each stage an hour long session.
Alex Lampe is the creative director and co-founder of Wiedemann Lampe, an international, inter- platform brand consultancy in London, and course leader for D&AD. He has won numerous design awards including including DBA Inclusive Design Challenge, Design Week Awards, D&AD, and New York Art Directors Club, to name a few.
