As part of the Latvian contemporary design exhibition and event cycle «Design Manifestation», «Design Walks» are organised in Riga to reveal the processes behind graphic, product, interior and food design. The first of the walks will take place tomorrow and the day after, February 13 and 14, inviting everyone interested to find out more about the work of Latvian graphic designers and design media, as well as to hear about the experience of professionals in exciting lectures.
Behind every excellent work and notable success there is a determined person, his inexhaustible capability, mastery and a thorough design process. The «Graphic Design Walk» will offer a possibility to meet and get to know talented and well known Latvian graphic designers, book, magazine and internet media editors and publishers, look into their daily work, gain insight into the various aspects of graphic design and the process of creating it, as well as discuss the current issues and the future development of the field.
Ten design studios — «Brandbox», «Asketic», «!Mooz», Tildes Birojs, «H2E», «Associates, Partners et Sons», «Froont», «Antalis» design centre, Maija Rozenfelde and Jānis Birznieks —, and three media houses, representing and integrating design — architecture, design and lifestyle magazine «Modernists», children’s book publishing house «Liels un mazs», and us — creative industries platform FOLD —, will open their doors for public. Everyone is welcome to visit the design and media offices, yet some of the hosts have to be informed before the visit.
