Design Talks Live
Description of the project DesignTalks.live on the Code Switch website:
A platform for designers to stay connected from home during Covid-19.
After missing some interesting live streams (often the notifications just pop-up in my feed when they start) I realized I might not be the only one and that other people might benefit from a platform that would let the design community know about interesting events and conversations about design and creativity happening online in advance in a more orderly and predictable fashion.
DesignTalks.Live was a social media based platform to help the design community stay connected while working form home. We all listen to podcasts and watch pre-recorded webinars, but there is something about the honesty of LIVE, unedited, unpolished conversations that creates a sense of true connection in real time.
DesignTalks.Live was awarded an honorable mention in Fast Company’s 2020 Innovation by Design Awards.
The social media visuals are set in Briefcase Type Foundry’s digital revival of Orion by Stanislav Maršo.
