ESAD Web Talks

Should you happen to be in the neighbourhood of Porto in Portugal over the next few days we hope to perchance make your acquaintance. We’ll be in the city as part of the lineup for ESAD Web Talks:

Four great talks on what design on the web means today, as a profession, a medium, an industry and a community.

We’ll be running a paper prototyping workshop – ‘Good Ideas Grow on Paper’ – for the ESAD students on Wednesday, followed by a presentation – ‘You Are A Channel’ – on Thursday, where we’ll be joining a great lineup that comprises Andy McMillan, Simon Collison and Robbie Manson.

Should you be in the locale, we hope to see you there.
