COP workshop//Speed Designer Dating

For the context of practise workshop we did an activity which was a play on Speed Dating.
Basically we had to come to workshop with 3 designers; male, female and company/studio. In the workshop we had 4 minutes to discuss with our partner the designer. We had to talk about them show them examples and say everything we can about the designer. We had to do this this 3 times for each designer. As we were going through we had a sheet to fill out. This consisted of designers name, referred by, if i like them and notes. After the workshop we would go away and research into the designers that we were told about that we liked.

I like the style in which this design company works in. Its really fresh and clean and using vibrant colours. I like they way they work with image and type and how they lay it all down on the given media. It is excellent design work. I love it!
