2019 San Francisco Design Week
Designers of all disciplines are united by the drive to solve problems, advance aesthetics, and re-think the future. The increasing global collaboration among visual designers, industrial designers, strategists, writers, photographers, videographers, illustrators, and artists has created a community of purpose in today’s complex world.
2019 San Francisco Design Week
June 20-28, 2019
Cost: There are events that are free, but some may have admission fees.The 2019 theme of CommUNITY honors the design discipline’s global unity, which will be celebrated at the opening night party on June 20, 2019 when leading San Francisco and acclaimed international designers showcase original artifacts they have produced especially for the event—posters, typeface, product, sculpture, motion graphic or artwork–– a response to the concept of “communicating unity.”
As designers, we see many companies trying to introduce technology into everyday products to be disruptive. But when it comes to adding tech to everyday life, this approach can make things more difficult and frustrating for people. If it doesn’t amplify and possibly augment what people already expect from an everyday object, it’s probably a bad idea. In an era of confused and ill-conceived connected products, how can we design products that add technology to everyday objects without taking anything away from the original and expected experience?
