Time: 6:00pm for a 6:30 start.

In yet another change of format, this month Rob Phillips has agreed to run a workshop covering a number of hands-on design games. These techniques help make design more accessible and fun for clients, leading to greater creativity and a broader range of unexpected ideas.

There’ll be lots of sketching debate and cutting things up so it should be fun.

Although the focus of the session will be on providing practical techniques for client projects, Rob will be setting the scene by discussing product language and how semiotics influence how people perceive and interact with everyday objects.
