Design is a fundamentally collaborative and interdisciplinary activity, a fact that has become even more relevant in the last 10 years. Multimedia design solutions, holistic branding and steeper competition for winning clients are just a few of the reasons that successful graphic designers must understand how to incorporate all phases of the design process, from brainstorming to concept development; from getting feedback to making refinements; from file-sharing to project management.
Join our experts for a discussion of best practices and tools to collaborate effectively within creative teams, with related professionals and with clients.
This edition of Future by Design features international panelists streamed virtually, as well as interaction with audiences from coast to coast.

Panelists:
Vanessa Eckstein RGD, Founder of Blok Design
"A prerequisite of a great
collaboration is a seductive tension that pushes each participant out of
their comfort zone and takes the work to another dimension." Vanessa
will share examples from her experience with collaboration that
questions both the medium and the preconceptions that exist in the
world.
Bob Hambly RGD, Creative Director at Hambly & Woolley Inc.
In 2013 H&W created a publication
entitled BEES for Flash Reproduction's Wayward Arts series on
"Community". An editor, four writers, five photographers, two
illustrators and three artists all contributed their efforts to this
project. And they all did it pro bono.
Bob discusses how this collaboration came about and how H&W approached, excited, art directed and acknowledged this pool of very creative individuals.

Jake Lefebure, CEO & Co-Founder, Design Army
Design Army works on many projects
that require a small team of designers, writers, printers, and sometimes
multiple clients. Jake will share his experience working on projects
that involve creative input from multiple sources.
Emily Oberman, Partner at Pentagram
In close collaboration with SNL
producers and photographers, Emily has been designing the opening titles
for Saturday Night Live since 1994. The show has an established visual
personality, and for Oberman part of the fun of designing the opening
sequence several times has been creating new, different takes on the
same theme. "For us this job never gets old. It’s an exciting challenge
to take the same basic elements year after year and reinvent them in a
way that keeps the brand feeling new and vibrant.”
