Google

Posted on January 12, 2010November 11, 2021 by Marko Rakic

This design walk starts outside Arena, Sihlcity Friday May 15th 17:40 and goes directly to the Google headquarters in Zürich. The distance is 10 minutes by foot and the group is limited to 30 participants.

When you arrive you will be welcomed by Mr. Steve Rogers, Director of User Experience EMEA, who will also talk about Google UI Design Language and Principles. You will then by guided around the building, meet a representative from their architecture company and hear about the building’s interior design. This walk is of extra interest for designers with focus on User Experience and User Interfaces.

The Google Zürich office is a bit special and to give you an idea of what to expect we recommend these videos:

Party at Papiersaal

Posted on January 12, 2010November 10, 2021 by Marko Rakic

Directly after the ED-Awards ceremony at Arena (sometime between 22 and 23), all participants of the ceremony as well as the conference participants are welcome to join the party next doors at Papiersaal.

DJ’ette Diva D will do her very best to keep you going until 4 AM when the party ends.

Entrance to the party, as well as a complimentary glass of sparkling wine is included in the ticket for the ED-Conference and the ED-Awards Ceremony.

Details for winners

Posted on January 12, 2010November 10, 2021 by Marko Rakic

This page is to give the winners of the ED-Awards 2009 some more details about the show.

When to arrive

The reception opens 19:00 and the show starts 20:00. It is not a good idea to arrive 20:10 and expect a mingle before the show starts, not to arrive 19:55 without tickets and expect the reception to find your booked tickets in 2 minutes. The party will be after the show.

Dress code

Smart casual

Seating

This year the awards ceremony will take place in a cinema theater with lots of leg room where it is quite easy to get up on stage (without asking all others on your row to stand up). It is therefor not necessary to have numbered seats. You may sit wherever you like.

When will you get up

The show will follow the same order as the categories are listed on this page, starting with Brand logo and finishing with Miscellaneous printed. Category “08. Brochure & Product Catalogue” has been split in two “Brochure” and “Product Catalogue”. At the end of the ceremony, the Jury Prize and the Hall of Fame winners are going to be announced. At the start of each new category our hostess will call your company names and we will show a list of the winning companies on the screen in alphabetical order. Please get up on stage and wait until it’s your turn to receive your prize.

What will happen on stage

When all winners of a category have reached the stage, the person who hands out the prizes will start with the silvers and ask one company at the time to step forward to receive their prize. As you are asked to step forward to receive your diploma (and for gold winners a trophy as well), a 15 second slide show with pictures from your winning design is being projected. This is followed by a card with all the credits you have provided. Please stay on the stage until all winners in your category have received their prizes. After the group photo is taken, you will be able to walk back to your seat.

How many can get up on stage

There is no limit. If you bring the whole team of 30 people who worked on the project, all 30 are most welcome up on stage.

Trophy & diplomas

All gold winners will receive one trophy and a diploma in two copies. All silver winners will receive a diploma in two copies. The idea is of course so that you may give one diploma to your client. If there is any typo in your diploma, just tell us and we will correct it and send you new ones. The trophy and the two copies of the diploma are free of charge.

Catalogue

As soon as you register you will receive a voucher, which you can exchange at the reception, directly after the Award ceremony for a complementary catalogue.

Food & drinks

Since the show starts at 20:00 and is followed by the winners party, you are strongly advised to have dinner before you arrive at the venue.

Pauses

Efforts are going to be made to keep the ceremony at a two hour duration. During this time there are not going to be any breaks.

What if I can’t make it?

Then you have a few options:

A. If you know someone who will be at the ceremony you simply ask that person to receive the trophy/diploma on stage in your name and bring it to you when they go home. This is also possible for the free catalogue.

B. Please let us know if you can’t make it to the ceremony. Your diploma/trophy will be sent to you via post. It would also be a good idea if you could send a short video accepting the award, to somehow “fill the gap” of your absence. Such a video should be sent to us latest May 12th via FTP or mail (resolution 1024 x 768 pixels, max 20 seconds, in any format that can be used in a KeyNote presentation).

Free ceremony tickets

The rule is 1 free ceremony ticket (including the party) per winning company, not per award or per person in the team.

Bronze winner

The reason why bronze winners will receive their diplomas in the reception or via post (and not on stage) is because the show would otherwise last more than 4 hours.

ED-Awards Ceremony

Posted on January 12, 2010November 10, 2021 by Marko Rakic

The ED-Awards Ceremony is honoring the gold and silver winners in 31 different categories of communication design. The best designers in Europe get on stage in order to receive their prizes.

The evening is lead by Agneta Wallin, a Swedish stand-up comedian who charmed the audience last year in Stockholm and agreed to come back.

Time: 20:00-23:00, Sunday May 17

The reception opens 19:00 and in case you need to pick up tickets in the reception please be there before 19:40.

The show starts 20:00 and is estimated to last 2-3 hours.

It will be at the same venue as the ED-Conference, the Arena Filmcity at Sihlcity.

The ticket price is 50 euro (student discount available) and can be bought via our web shop.

This ticket is also valid for the winenrs party right after the ceremony.

Fabrico Próprio Book Launch

Posted on January 12, 2010November 10, 2021 by Marko Rakic

Fabrico Próprio means “Own Production”, an expression used by most Portuguese cafés and patisseries in their shop signs, windows and packaging. It is a warrant of freshness and quality, but also of uniqueness and prestige of the baked goods they sell – most of them sweet, one-portion cakes.

“Fabrico Próprio – The Design of Semi-Industrial Confectionery” is a 292-page book dedicated to Portuguese confectionery and its relation to design. An encyclopaedic record of 92 Portuguese daily confectionery cakes, it also includes perspectives from 23 Portuguese and foreign professionals, which can be found along its pages in the form of three essays and several sections.

Photographers, illustrators, architecture and food critics, a chef and an art curator take Portuguese semi-industrial confectionery as a source of inspiration, offering unexpected approaches to this surprising world.

“Fabrico Próprio” is a multidisciplinary project dedicated to Portuguese semi-industrial confectionery and its relation to design, authored by Pedrita (Rita João, Pedro Ferreira) and Frederico Duarte. It is composed of this book, a workshop, the fabricoproprio.net website and a series of launches in Portugal and abroad.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Posted on January 12, 2010November 10, 2021 by Marko Rakic

Nationalmuseum

Website: www.nationalmuseum.se

The exhibition devoted to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm is the first comprehensive presentation of the French artist in Sweden for forty years. The exhibition will include some 200 items: drawings, posters and oil paintings.

We meet a small but highly imposing artist who abandoned a life in aristocratic circles to spend his days among the bohemian pleasures of Montmartre, portraying the people he met there. His works will be on view at the Nationalmuseum from 21 February to 25 May 2008.

The entire Parisian entertainment world of the late 19th century seems to have been preserved in Toulouse-Lautrec’s pictures from the restaurants and cafés, dance halls and theatres. He is particularly associated with the famous Moulin Rouge nightclub where, for a number of years around 1890, he spent almost every evening recording individuals and events in his sketchbook.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec also recorded the lives of women working as prostitutes – how they spent their days and their nights. In his art he seems to vacillate between compassion and detachment. The spring exhibition of his work at the Nationalmuseum will shed light on the economic and social causes of the widespread prostitution during the late 19th century. A further question will also be asked:

What would a contemporary Toulouse-Lautrec have portrayed in Stockholm today? A group of students from Konstfack – University College of Arts, Crafts and Design – have been invited to contribute their personal answers to this question in the form of their own works of art. These works will be shown in the ground-floor gallery, displayed under the name “To use Lautrec”.

A great deal of space is devoted to Toulouse-Lautrec in his capacity as a designer of posters. The emergent entertainment industry of the late 19th century needed marketing and the greater part of Toulouse-Lautrec’s posters were made to advertise. In his posters the artist developed a medium of expression using simple lines and bold colours; an artistic language that points to the future.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s life describes an unusual social progress from the aristocracy to the darker side of society. He was born into a notably aristocratic family in southern France. It has been claimed that his poor health was the result of inbreeding. In his teens he broke his legs so severely that they stopped growing. He moved to Paris with his mother to study art but was soon drawn to the city’s bohemian neighbourhoods. And it was in the bohemian ambience of Montmartre that his creative talent began to flourish, leading on to a very substantial body of work. But his life was a brief one. Marked by an excess of alcohol and in poor physical condition, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec died in 1901, scarcely 37 years old. At the end of February we shall be able to acquaint ourselves with him once again at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.

The school was established in the Autumn of 1993 by Pia Forsberg and Pelle Lindberg. Both have long vocational experience within the industry. The Forsberg School is a 2-year vocational training course in Graphic Design, Advertising, Copywriting, Fashion Design and Motion Graphic Design.

The training gives the students the opportunity to discover their own distinctive character and individual aptitude in an environment which offers freedom with responsibility. Less theory and more practical creation. Students will test different ways of expression and thinking through exciting projects. “Learning by doing.”

Final exhibition

Grand Opening: Thursday 15th May

Open: Friday 16th May, Saturday 17th May, Sunday 18th May and Monday 19th May, 12pm to 6pm.

Graduates of Forsberg have held their final exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. The students have also carried out final exhibition projects in Soho, New York. The 2001 exhibition was based on a film project where the students traveled to different destinations around the world, such as Las Vegas, New York, Istanbul, Mexico City and Tokyo. In Stockholm, the students have created exhibitions, besides at the School itself, at the department store NK, at Humlegården Park, at the Hotel Strand and at the Royal Stables. Our ambition is to allow the students to show the creative innovation and free artistic expression that will characterize the industry in the future.

City Centre

Posted on January 12, 2010November 11, 2021 by Marko Rakic

This design walk starts outside Södra Teatern and let you visit three interesting design agencies in the city center. Each of them has promised to welcome you into their office, answer your questions and exhibit some previous work. This is a chance to meet great designers eye-to-eye on their home ground.

The first walk will start on Friday May 16th around 17:00 outside the Södra Teatern and take the subway to the city center. Each stop at an agency is about 20 minutes and you will be back at Södra Teatern or Slussen metro station two hours later. The second walk to the same four agencies starts around 17:00 on Saturday May 17th.

We will split the participants in smaller groups (by language) and the groups will visit the agencies in different order. The small size of the groups and the bi-lingual guide that accompanies each group will allow you to better interact and discuss with the agencies designers.

You don’t have to be part of this guided tour to visit those agencies. Some of them will be opened to everyone during those hours. The guided tour is merely a service.

Sign-up for this design walk via our web shop. The fee is 5 euro per person, incl. VAT. This includes the subway ticket.

Posted on January 12, 2010November 11, 2021 by Marko Rakic

This design walk starts outside Södra Teatern and let you visit four interesting design agencies at Södermalm and Gamla Stan. Each of them has promised to welcome you into their office, answer your questions and exhibit some previous work. This is a chance to meet great designers eye-to-eye on their home ground.

The first walk will start on Friday May 16th around 17:00 outside the Södra Teatern. Each stop at an agency is about 20 minutes and you will be back at Södra Teatern or Slussen metro station two hours later. The second walk to the same four agencies starts around 17:00 on Saturday May 17th.

You don’t have to be part of this guided tour to visit those agencies. Some of them will be opened to everyone during those hours. The guided tour is merely a service.

Exhibition: Mapping (Europe)

Posted on January 12, 2010November 10, 2021 by Marko Rakic

Apeiron Photos and Corbis organise a poster exhibition to celebrate the first ED Awards.

The idea for an exhibition and subsequent publication dealing with the representation of the map of Europe and the limits and borders of graphic design, was born on the occasion of the organization of the first European Design Awards and European Design Conference held in Athens this year. The campaign for the communication of these paramount events, used the image of a European map made of pixels.

This sort of representation of the European map raises various questions, especially in the context of the ED Awards: What do we mean, understand and communicate by the term ‘European’? How does graphic design map and is being mapped out, what are its borders and limit(ation)s? What are the messages graphic designers are interested in encoding visually and how can the semiology of the two-dimensional surface of a poster function as an expressive ‘map’?

In “Mapping (Europe)”one can look at various ways through which all these issues are approached by exquisite graphic designers and even more, face the new and at times unexpected questions they raise. The works represent and comment on visual conventions, cultural, social and political norms, structures of power, as well as on the very notion of symbolization as exemplified in the field visual communication.

Participants: 3 in a box, Adel Saatchi & Saatchi, Ashley & Holmes, Attp, BBDO Athens, Beetroot, Company, Designers United, Designpark, Dolphins, Echo, Eggandspoon, Espresso Studio/ Dimitris Arvanitis, g, Garamond Design, JWT/ Spot Thompson, K2design, Karamella, Lineadesign, McCann Erickson, MNP, Mousegraphics, ODD Company, Office Communication Consultants, Poor Designers, Radial, RMG Connect, The Design Shop, The Switch Design Agency, Tribe, Warda, George Vavylousakis, Konstantinos Vavylousakis, Dimitris Gazis, Kapani graphix, Oxy/ Paris Koutsikos, Pi6, Fotis Pehlivanidis, George Triantafyllakos.
