| Introduction The thematic area of design practice is composed by designers with different professional focal points. Each of them will talk about the evolution of new topics and working methods that come across in their respective working field. Furthermore, each speaker - in the context of his professional activities - is dealing with design research. The panel therefore offers the opportunity to learn more about the key topic of the conference thanks to the experiences and positions of an Art Director (who works for industry), a publisher and media expert and the Director of a Design Research Institute. |
