“In my experience, assignments are sort of like folk songs, or certain kinds of jokes. They’re retold and adapted from generation to generation of teachers, tinkered with, misheard, brought up to date. Even when I think I’ve come up with something new, it always ends up being a version of something else.” George Rush

-Design Week Portland serves to enlighten your brain with all-things-design: talks, workshops, events, films, open-studios, and more! DWP is a great thing coming to Portland and being put together by some incredible folks. Here’s a snippet from their website: “Portland is a city of design and for design, unique in its approach to defining place, culture, and attitude. Design Week Portland celebrates design as our city’s most promising cultural and economic resource. Our purpose is to explore process, craft, and practice across disciplines through our city’s vibrant design programming.”

Registration opens Tuesday September 18th and on for the events (you’ll need to get a ticket through Eventbrite). Most of the events are free, some are paid, but all will be awesome! We will be hosting our own event during DWP that’s a collaborative workshop!

“So few people seem to realize that everything’s designed. And until we get some good people telling the story, that’s probably going to continue to be the case. So I’d love it if there was a consciousness in the public mind that mathematics and reading and writing is not enough — you also need to learn how to do design. Because everything is designed, and the way our world exists around us depends on how well it’s designed.”
