Design Assembly - Conversations on Graphic Design.

www.designassembly.org.nz

Design Assembly is a graphic design event. An evening of talks and discussion run by Graphic Designers for Graphic Designers that will be held four times a year. The evenings will provide the opportunity for Graphic Designers to meet and connect with other Graphic Designers in Auckland. It will also provide a forum to listen to three speakers each evening on a variety of topics relating to Graphic Design, with the purpose of educating and inspiring.

Design Assembly aims to encourage a connected community among the graphic design profession in Auckland and to provide regular injections of energy and motivation throughout the year.

Why start up Design Assembly?
"Working as a Graphic Designer for me is more then just a job, it’s part of my personality and I enjoy talking with other Graphic Designers - whether it’s about sharing knowledge, ideas, technical tips or just having a conversation with someone else who gets excited about the same things as I do."

"Coming back from living overseas 18 months ago, I felt there was a lack of opportunities for Graphic Designers in Auckland to get together, meet up with other Graphic Designers, hear conversations on Graphic Design and start their own conversations."

"I’ve finally got my act together after 18 months of talking about the idea of Design Assembly and together with some really cool people, Design Assembly will launch on 27th August."

"I think its an opportunity to create a better sense of community amongst our profession in Auckland, to fuel ourselves up once every few months and get amongst the great creative minds we have working here in Auckland."

"I look forward to seeing you all at the first Design Assembly evening!"
