\nA Tumblr Manifesto: The Critical Intentions of The Interface Deco \u2013 Workshop With Post Eady<\/strong>
\n\u201cThis workshop mines Tumblr as one such repository and dissects its contents. We aim to take on the absurd task of reading into and over-intellectualising graphic design trends in the hopes of mapping a territory. Discussion will drive this section as we pluralise popular graphic forms. Following this, we will attempt an inversion of this process by mapping both current and \u2018dead\u2019 or inert trends to contemporary contexts in a bid to examine if trends can be used as a plural set of heuristic responses. This workshop is free and will require you to bring a device with an internet connection, paper, and pencils.\u201d

Along with Cl\u00e9rigos Tower, this is one of the most famous monuments among tourists.\u00a0This is going to be the venue for a welcome reception thrown by the City itself, and the mayor of Porto, Rui Moreira, in order to stress the city\u2019s dedication and acknowledgement to the design profession.\u201d

\nTen Years Ed-Awards Exhibition Opening<\/strong>

\nDesign for Porto Exhibition Opening<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe city of Porto is considered by many as Portugal\u2019s design capital. Among others, it is the home of a studio that has won the title of \u201cEuropean Design Agency of the year\u201d and another that has won an \u201cED-Awards Best of Show\u201d. To a certain extent, the City (municipality) of Porto is a major contributor. \u00a0By assigning work, relative to the identity of its various services and institutions, to a number of locally based studios, it has without a doubt helped a lot towards this end. The specific exhibition is going to showcase some of this work.\u201d
\n\"European<\/a>
\nEDA main purposes are to celebrate<\/strong> European design with all its regional distinctive elements as well as its common grounds;\u00a0to meet<\/strong>, benchmark, be inspired and build networks;\u00a0to promote<\/strong> and raise standards for communication design throughout Europe;\u00a0to properly honour<\/strong> and award<\/strong> people who invest their passion in design and\u00a0to create a directory of European communication design excellence where design buyers from around the world will go to in search of collaborators.
