4. WIRED by Design | Sausalito, CA. 29 Sep - 01 Oct
How good design shapes the future?!
!
Design is bigger than logos, gadgets, or fashion. It is also architecture, branding,
filmmaking, music, and food. Any series of creative choices made in pursuit of a goal
is design. While it sounds simple, we know that making good creative choices is hard
—especially when you’re bogged down with meetings, conference calls, and the
countless assaults of everyday life.
WIRED has created an intellectual retreat—a chance to get out of the grind, unplug,
and get inspired.
At WxD you will be stimulated, challenged, and entertained inside a living, breathing
magazine. It is a chance to stop and consider how good design shapes the future,
and to rekindle your own creative spark.
