>>Open design! Some comments on the democratisation of the genius<<

Is individualisation a trap in design process? Are competition between autodidacts and skilled people the future of design? What is the future of design in the Open Source Movement? Does the bazar-model as proposed by Raymond fit? There are many platforms and networks for distribution of design – maybe too many? These and other questions should be answered.

Prof. Dr. Jörg Petruschat / HTW Dresden / chief of the Innovation and Design Institute

>>Don't wait. Innovate!<<

“Design Thinking“ is a new method for developing innovative ideas in all areas of life. Developed by David Kelley, founder of worldwide acting design agency “Ideo“, the concept is based on the belief that true innovation can only happen if strong multidisciplinary groups associate, form a collaborative culture and study the interfaces of different opinions and perspectives.

>>Last exit before death: Art? Honest thoughts about the change of brand communication<<

The market is sated. Products are exchangeable. Differentiator is design. Therefore, design has a new relevance in brand communication.

Within his lecture, he will among others present the Ards – projects “Skiny Revolution“ and “Diesel Door“.

>>The role of design and innovation in context of urban mobility<<

Bike is better than car. But how can people be motivated to change to this alternative means of transportation? With use of the “Gates Carbon Drive“ drive belt, we developed an innovative drive system. The megatrends “ecological awareness“, “fitness“ and “individualisation“ can be used to place products effectively on the market.

Jörg Schindelhauer / schindelhauer bikes / Magdeburg

>>Unveil the blck box<<

Which possibilities exist for innovative concepts of brand and image communication? How important is the interaction of graphic design and marketing? With the help of the example of the mobile campagne “Rosarot – ein Denkanstoß in Tütenform“ (“Rose coloured – a food for thought in form of a bag“), these and other questions will be answered.
