Digital or Traditional design?
During a COP project i created an argument, arguing how digital design is taking over industry and how i disagreed that this was the right way forward as designers.
From this I have now made this site official and have copywrited the idea and now an owner of the site. Over summer I will be collecting work and advertising it on Instagram to get young creatives to join the site. I will be recruiting a team to help run the site and be working in a design studio in darlington which I have rented out back home over summer. The idea of the site is to only show work created in traditional methods or have use of using practical methods in there process, which does not include photoshop etc.
From emailing printing company's I have now also gained a friendship with Leeds Printing Company, and are visiting there studio to discuss a placement offer and possibility of them joining the site in which i have created. Creating this friendship will help me with networking in the future and is helping me get myself out there.
What do I want from this project?
Ideally I want to be able to create my own traditional company starting off online and then being able to open my own traditional printing studio, which creates typography. I want to have a collective of traditional designers that are interested in practical methods to try show the public and designers how traditional design is more interesting than digital, and how digital interface is not way forward.
