‘ When it came to designing, the modern mind had no equals. Designs were one article of which modern societies, and their members, never ran short. The history of the modern era has been a long string of contemplated, attempted, pursued, seen through, failed or abandoned designs. Designs were many and different, but each one painted a future reality different from the one the designers knew. And since ‘the future’ does not exist as long as it remains ‘ in the future’, and since in dealing with the non-existent one cannot ‘get one’s facts straight’, there was no telling in advance, let alone with certainty, what the world emerging at the other end of the efforts of construction would be. Would it indeed be, as anticipated, a benign, userfriendly and pleasurable world, and would the assets budgeted and laid aside for the purpose and the approved work schedules prove adequate for transferring that world from the drawing board into the future present?’ – Zygmunt Bauman, 2004 ‘Wasted Lives: Modernity and its Outcasts’
Introduction
School of Design 2019 Professor Stephen Kennedy Head of School of Design
This quote speaks to all of the disciplines that have now come together in the newly formed School of Design, and to the challenges faced in a contemporary context. From the drawing board to the ‘future present’, we all continue to be involved in realising some kind of project, in planning its execution, and ensuring that adequate and appropriate resources are available and accounted for. Whether it be designs for buildings, for spatial arrangements, for concepts, products, or for narrative engagement, we are all critical participants in a complex economy of creative and professional challenges and opportunities. The students’ work that is on display here, supported by the tutors who have worked with them to achieve their ambitions, is testament to the seriousness with which the critical challenges that currently face us are taken. Whether we continue to design our way out of such challenges, and remain on the path to the future, as envisaged by our modern predecessors, or adopt an entirely different mode of engagement – one that embraces non-linearity, uncertainty, and the reconstituted status of the human in a vastly expanded universal matrix of digital and analogue components – is a question that occupies our collective creative energies. The work in this show demonstrates that these challenges are being met with the kind of energy and alacrity that means we can all be confident about the future, even if we do not know exactly what it holds. My thanks and admiration go to all of the students and staff for making this inaugural School of Design show such a great success. Your contribution does not end here though, and we look forward to you returning to contribute to our ongoing endeavours as a creative community.

Introduction
Class of 2019 Dr Anastasios Maragiannis Deputy Head of School
The UK is one of the world’s most important and dynamic markets for the creative industries. The highly skilled sector thrives with talented, well-prepared graduates and a university qualification is essential to many creative careers. The Design Portfolio in the School of Design is one of the most successful portfolios with international standing. Our current courses include BA (Hons) and HND Graphic and Digital Design; BA (Hons) Animation; and MA Web Design and Content Planning. For the last 18 years our students have been awarded a number of international awards including: D&AD, ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers), and a number of our students have been shortlisted in numerous creative industries awards and competitions (Penguin Design Awards, Smint, Walkers). Our graduate employment in the creative industries has increased in the past three years of the programme with 60+% of students having a job in creative industries within 12 months of graduation and student satisfaction on National Student Survey is an average of 90% for the last few years. The Complete University Guide (2019) shows good improvements for many subject areas in our Faculty with many outpacing the overall university improvement where design portfolio jumped five places up on the League table. The overarching aim of the courses are to assist students in gaining practical and theoretical grasp of design as an area of intellectual making, creative visualisation and design thinking through professional practice. The courses emphasise the relationship between the designer/animator, the audience and the client and investigate appropriate, effective and creative communication approaches through design studio practice and in relation to theory. The on-going network that has been established from tutors, employers and former students assists enables current students and graduates to start their careers in fields across advertising, branding, packaging, motion graphics, teaching, directing, visual effects, and gaming. Determination and creative energy distinguish this year’s graduates from the rest of the pack. An incredibly talented, culturally diverse group of designers and animators, who have been a joy and inspiration to work with. The students have worked on a broad body of projects; from print to screen, AR and VR, through to traditional editorial design and book publishing. All students used their skills to produce works that fit within the wider context of design and animation; in so doing, they have developed a range of craft skills as well as becoming fully autonomous learners. The quality of the work bears out our approach and shows a mature and highly talented group of professionals eager to take the next step in their careers. This year’s graduate show is challenging our society in various ways. Student works focus on design as a holistic action with the capacity to simultaneously engage conceptual and practical shifts that make our society a place with no boundaries. Student work showcases how to design inclusively to engage people deeply throughout the making process, to share practices and to amalgamate unique knowledge within design interventions.

Karl Pilongo Drug Capitalism Kpilongo@hotmail.com kpdesign.xyz With the ever-growing availability and accessibility of recreational drugs, its presence has not only affected society but also modern culture. ‘Drug Capitalism’ explores and critiques the commercialisation of drugs. It draws attention to the idea of how drugs have become a household name but also satirising the drug control attempts
015
and campaigns in some countries across the globe that try to minimise and discourage its influence such as the United States with the ‘War on Drugs’. Due to its prevalence in trade, it can be argued that there is a demand and a market for these substances, contributing to a wider capitalist system.
Shay Dickson Minimal Movies Vol 1 shayellisdickson@gmail.com shaydickson.com Minimal design is a very comforting view for many. Stripping back everything from a movie while keeping it recognisable is my aim for this project. Movie posters today have become a saturated market where
016
all follow similar clichÊs, that’s where my minimal movies come in. My project uses the audience’s knowledge of the movies, to help make them think of what the work does or says to them.
Tommy Kowalski Goodsport Tom@ymot.xyz ymot.xyz
With technology becoming an extension of our lives, how can designed experiences have a positive impact on our behaviours and wellbeing? ‘Goodsport’ examines the issues of political polarization in the US
017
through the lens of sports. How can these activities build a greater understanding and acceptance in a world polluted with echo chambers and internet extremism?
Duarte Ferreira The Medium Is Not The Message duartecferreira@icloud.com duarteferreira.com The age-old debate of which storytelling medium is the better one has been around since feature films emerged. Hollywood adaptations of famous books have arguably
018
been worse than their book counterparts. Yet, have they? In this project, this idea is challenged by looking at where these mediums meet in a new impartial AR experience.
Deborah Iaria Beyond Movement deborah.iaria@gmail.com deborahiaria.com
The movement and interaction people have within a space reflects the way one thinks and feels. Although this is an instinctive process, influenced by societal norms, each person’s body movement
019
is unique. The objective of my work is to explore the dynamic expression of everyday human movement translating it into a graphic language. This in order to challenge the ordinary, seeking the extraordinary.
Shize Zhang Shén Rù shizezhang9711@gmail.com imshize.cargocollective.com ‘Shén Rù’ is a multi-dimensional study steeped in ‘hidden’ traditional Chinese culture based on a vast variety of research and analysis in folklore, superstition and poetry. Shén Rù (神入) is a term for empathy, it means the spirit of god enters a human body in order to understand and share the feelings of another. The project is based on the classic literature Liao Zhai Zhi Yi, it indicates
020
Liao Zhai Zhi Yi 聊斋志异 Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio
selected stories from the original
the historical background on vicissitudes of Chinese religious life in late Qing Dynasty; suggesting societal issues in a metaphorical manner. Religion was considered as the main connection for empathy in the book, the empathy between the characters and that between the audience overlaps which allows the clandestine messages to be understood in different ways.
Agnese Pulvirenti The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat agnese.pulvirentii@gmail.com agnesepulvirenti.com The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat is a book written by the British neuropsychologist Oliver Sacks documenting his most peculiar patients, including Dr P. a talented music teacher affected by visual agnosia. This project responds to the ISTD brief ‘Lost’ of 2019, focusing the outcome on the daily life and struggles of Dr P.
021
The project highlights the way the patient sees the world around him and the people dear to him. The typographic response has been deeply influenced by the peculiarities of the agnosia, such as the inability of recognising complex shapes or faces, the lack of acknowledgement of the left and the need of the brain to put together clues to make up Dr P’s visual world.

My project explores the visualisation of my personal voice through typography and illustration. Exploring my views on feminism, relationships, social media and everyday conversations to demonstrate
Oh, HI!, Didn’t see you there. Why you staring at me? Is it because i’ve got lip fillers? or that my hair’s pastel green? I mean, what’s wrong with that? If i’m happy with myself that’s all that should matter, right? oh and before you stop reading this, yes i do edit my pictures but that’s NONE of your business!
024
I mean, what does a girl around here need to do to be comfortable in her own skin? Why is the female body so weird for you to look at, why is it so sexualised? I mean does me being in a bikini mean you really need to stop and stare.
my understanding and opinions on these topics which I portray through my own artistic experimentations and research through illustration.
Yes, i’m blonde with blue eyes, but too bad that i smoke right? doesn’t suit me right? well guess what, too bad.

What does it take to turn a product into pure extravagance hype? The project is analysing how an ordinary shampoo dispenser bottle can be completely revamped to curate to a new target audience, the extravagant luxury market. Considering the economy principle of supply and demand and scarcity, as well as applying the design elements that
025
make luxury fashion design houses sacred benchmark brands, ‘Ebouriffer’ aims to throw criticism at the consumerist society, highlighting its flows. Either way, in case it doesn’t manage to achieve that, in the end it’s still a cool and funky piece of product design. After all, it’s not about selling the product, it’s all about selling the lifestyle.
Kaspars Valters Fantasise my E N D kaspars.design/lost-in-game Day after day, criticism after criticism, I can’t take it anymore. All I wanted was to express my fantasy. It’s my job. Why do I have to suffer the blame? Because someone else is stupid enough to create such content does not mean we are all the same. We want to express ourselves and anime / manga are perfect tools. It’s simple to get a message across quickly. Even when we are locked in four walls, we create our own worlds,
026
our mind is limitless and creating anime inspired drawings helps us to communicate with each other. Yet people who misunderstand it are fighting against it. What can I do? I am only one person out of thousands, even if we unite we still get blamed. This is my story, the corridors of my mind. Anime and manga do NOT promote sexualisation of minors. People should pay more attention to real world problems.
Maria Vioque Nugyen A Way to Experience the Human Mechanism of Thought mariavioquen@gmail.com mariavioque.co.uk In response to the ISTD 2019 brief ‘Ulysses’, I developed this book object to explore the human consciousness and the free-flowing process that takes place in our minds, as a recreation of the final monologue in James Joyce’s book. However, Molly Bloom’s thoughts become discouraging overwhelming to read when presented in the context of a conventional book and it is easy
027
to lose the motivation to carry on reading after a short period of time. Therefore, ‘A Way to Experience the Human Mechanism of Thought’ aims to move away from the conventional book format, creating a book object that intends to encourage the reader to actively interact and engage with the text.

Tattoos are a way we express ourselves and tell a story with each one. What are the stories behind tattoos? Why was this design picked and what did it mean to that

Maria Vasileva Lost mariavasileva.net m.vasileva1516@gmail.com
Our memories define us. They play an important role in our lives and without them, we aren’t ‘so-called humans’. Typically, the negative ones can remain in our minds for our whole lives, no matter how hard we attempt to forget them. Reflected by this I decided to revive a 42year old memory. To be able to do that I had to go back to the same place and retrace
040
the steps of my grandparents. The reason for this was so that I can reproduce their memories in a short video as accurately as possible. By watching this video, I hope viewers to be able to experience the same or similar emotions that my grandparents felt during their experience in the forest. This project shows the influence that memories have in our lives.

Kenny-Jean Kikamba Do you see what I see? kk3972m@greenwich.ac.uk kennyjean2@hotmail.co.uk
As much as people today try to believe that we have reached an era that is free of discrimination, we are hesitant in experiencing ‘difference’, whether it is through our social role, gender, race, ethnicity, occupation or class. This is clear through employment. Do we really hire
042
people based on what they bring to the table or do we trust our predictions based on our first impressions or what we believe they ‘could’ be like? What do we really think when YOU different types of people at first glance?
Nathan Chan Imagine Peace; Everything Changes nathanwchandesign@gmail.com nathanchandesign.com
The closer you get, the more you see. ‘Imagine Peace’ was a phrase coined by John Lennon and Yoko Ono for both his memorial tower and their campaign title. This project explores working initially at a small scale and then re-imagining the outcomes as large scale murals. From
043
a distance the work seems like fragmented images of ‘Imagine Peace’, however when you take a closer look, all the individual elements are little hand drawn sections of the larger form. The mural is accompanied with a video which explains the background to the project and why I’ve chosen to do this.

Mariam Eldessouky Abdelrahman Visualising Blindness meldessouky.11@gmail.com mariameldessouky.co.uk
With social barriers being a main cause for the exclusion of people with disability, Visualising Blindness aims to raise awareness about the variations of visual impairment, while allowing those with seemingly good vision to empathise with those without. This is achieved through the use of glasses which allow the user
047
to willingly experience what it is like to be visually impaired within a space, while relying on their other senses to make an assumption of their surroundings. Impairments such as those affecting sight should be greatly considered, as disability can become a part of a person’s life at any stage.

Maksymilian Andrzejewski The Sound of Language maks.and98@gmail.com maksymilianandrzejewski.com Learning languages is one of the most important ways to communicate with the rest of the world and understand another’s culture and behaviour. This is the key to creating a better perspective on others and how we interact, especially if its between two very similar cultures. With people arriving in different countries and cultures, being able to speak one’s language is crucial. Learning the language however can be boring and difficult. In today’s world there are many new ways to learn which

Visual understanding of a language and how it sounds or looks to us is what supports our understanding. Every language has its own shape and sound, this can be seen in the alphabet and how we hear it, but visualisation and deconstruction of these two is what creates the biggest impact.

Oskar Siemion Shades of Hackney Wick oskaryoo@gmail.com
In recent months the area of Hackney Wick, has been heavily gentrified, as a result of that the cultural heritage of the space is disappearing rapidly. As a creative resident, I felt an urge to capture the changing landscape of this urban environment,

focusing on the language of graffiti and street art. I extracted visual elements from graffiti found in the area and translated these into a range of graphics that were then tested across various environments.
Sami Hawes ‘Is there a snackbar?’ contact@samihawes.com samihawes.com
This is a design-manifesto that aims to educate those who have succumbed to the bias, Islamophobic and bigoted views of Western media. For over a generation, the Arabic culture (its language being part of that) have been ‘feared’ and ‘hated’ by a large majority of people from around the world, for the unfortunate one-worded reason: terrorism. Terrorism and the Arabic culture have been closely linked due to radicalised so-called Muslims bringing
053
terror to the outside world. However, it must be known that the culture and the Arabic language should not be feared and shouldn’t be an invitation for angered bigots to express their racist hatred to its widely innocent nationals. Using contrasting images that are accompanied by text that is fitting for both Arabic and Western cultures, the manifesto hopes to somewhat begin a reformation of negative, uneducated perceptions.
Ella Melita Sammons The Designer’s Role in Virtual Reality ellmelitadesign@gmail.com ellamelita.co.uk
By combining design and Virtual Reality, the designer creates a powerful tool to help make minds healthier and happier. This is especially relevant to people who suffer from mental disorders. I find the concept of using design to help people become healthier, happier and more productive by incorporating technological devices exciting, and personalising the experience allows the user to put them in charge of creating a unique totem to alleviate the negative emotions.
054
The installation enables you to immerse yourself in a virtual world, where you elect to experience one of the three emotions,; fear, anxiety or anger. These lead you to a space of calm, safety and happiness. You create a small totem that represents the calm emotion using malleable clay that becomes something tangible to hold when experiencing a period of negative emotion, helping you to focus on the positive and regain your sense of control and peace.

Katie Rice The F Word katierice.xyz katiericedesign@outlook.com In response to the ISTD 2019 ‘Protest’ Brief, I designed ‘The F Word.’ The zine was created to protest, question, and understand the word ‘feminism’ and where it exists within contemporary society. In the current social climate, the word ‘feminism’ has become somewhat of a bad word to
061
many, ultimately taking away from its ethos and ideals. Attempting to challenge this perception, I surveyed 30+ men on what feminism meant to them. To add depth and a contrasting point-of-view, an excerpt from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ was included.

What happens with our waste? Europe has several countries ranking in the top 10 recycling and composting post-use waste disposal systems in the world. On the other hand, America, which is home to 5% of the world’s population, is responsible for over 40% of the total worlds municipal waste! This is due to an unawareness from the people, and a lack of sustainable
062
waste disposal infrastructure in the country. Recycling and composting is perceived as hard work. This app is made to help users distinguish which bin their waste goes. Aiming to be informative, this intuitive app will easily help the population to correctly dispose of their waste, drastically effecting recycling and composting rates, and helping quell the waste management crisis.
Donald Campbell Supporting politics d.campbellgraphics@gmail.com dcgraphics.uk Politics has always been a part of sport whether people believe it has a place there or not. From the USSR using athletes as positive propaganda to athletes like Tommie Smith using their stage to highlight political issues in their country. Since the actions of Colin Kaepernick in 2016 to kneel during the American national anthem, more and more athletes have used their stage to make a statement about current society. Unfortunately, many of these messages get lost within the actions taken to
063
demonstrate their views and get muddled with the negative aspects of how these actions are perceived. This is predominantly seen from American athletes but athletes all over the world have their own views and opinions. I am exploring what it means to be a fan of a player and whether supporting that player means supporting their views. I am questioning: how can we put the athletes’ statement into the public eye more clearly.

Pia Stene White-Bear-King-Valemon piastene3d@gmail.com artstation.com/piastene The painting ‘White-Bear-King-Valemon’, created by Theodor Kittelsen in 1912, shows a princess riding a polar bear, holding a golden wreath. It’s based on a Norwegian fairy-tale with the same name. While the painting is gorgeous, it’s hard to make out any distinguishing features on the princess or bear. For my final major project, I wanted to utilise modern 3D software to recreate
069
the painting in a more realistic manner, to explore how advancements in artistic tools can make viewers experience the piece differently. This also allows me to apply both of my study areas: realistic 3D modelling of humans and creatures, and realistic hair creation and how it differs between long human hair and animal fur.

Carolina Padilla Perez Stigmatised lythrae.art@gmail.com artstation.com/lythrae
One in four people in the world is affected by mental health problems. Most people can heal completely or are able to live maintaining these issues under control if they get help early on. Despite the fact that so many people are affected, there is a strong social stigma attached to mental illness. This discrimination comes from misinformation caused by the media where people with mental health problems are
074
portrayed as violent and dangerous. Stigma can worsen their problems and prevent them from reaching out for help to recover. My aim with this project is to make people reflect upon the stigma that mental health carries. There will be two glasses that the viewer can wear to see the work displayed from different perspectives. This way they would be able to see the reality versus the stigma.

Thea Jacobsen The Pirate Captain and The Sea thea-jacobsen@hotmail.com theajacobsen.com A lot of our most formative experiences happen during our childhood and I believe the media we consume as children help shape the adults we become. Therefore, I wanted to create a children’s picture book that focused on representation and diversity. A story that can help introduce children to the array of people in the world. The story is a classic fairytale following a cruel pirate captain who in her quest for love becomes a
082
kinder person. The book explores themes of love, kindness and loyalty, while portraying a cast of characters that reflects the world we live in. As a whole the book is a meeting between traditional and modern. The layout and character reflect modern ideals, whilst the format a story hark back to traditional children’s books. All this is done with the motivation of creating media that young people can read to be introduced to the diversity in the world in hopes of creating a more tolerant and kind-hearted future.
Alex Onyejuba Mother, Stretch Out Thy Hand. auonyejuba@gmail.com artstation.com/alexonyejuba The Art Of Invoking Emotion Into The Viewer Via Film. Here we watch as how a woman hasn’t come to terms dealing with the passing of her mother. While making this short story I explore the art of cinematography in order to grasp and learn the several ways in which cinematography shapes how we as viewers engage with what’s
083
on screen. With gaining the knowledge in the many cinematography techniques I use what I’ve learnt to help visually craft every frame of the story to help further invoke a negative emotional response such as sadness and anger into the audience in order for them to really engage and feel both empathy and sympathy for the character.

transformation between one form into another; the original form is of a Navajo chief whereas the second is of a coyote. They consider coyotes as a character full of mischief and is one of the most important characters in the Diné Bahane’, or the ‘Story of the People’, as depicted in Native American mythology.

Magdalena Nuspahić Šminka — Formula sminkaband.tumblr.com sminkaband@gmail.com Šminka (Croatian, make-up) is a music duo from Croatia consisting of Magdalena Nuspahić and Fran Jalšovec. Formula (Latin, meaning approximately the same thing in Croatian as it does in English) is an audiovisual arrangement – the first attempt by the band to sonically arrange and present both their dispositions and apprehensions. The accompanying video is a stop motion animation by Magdalena which explores the idea of emotional growth and change as presented through physical metamorphosis. The clay creations that

star in the short film are made to face their irrational fears of both changing as they grow as well as accepting that which they were all along. A mix of materials and techniques were used to twist the characters out of (or perhaps into) shape. Together, the sound and image communicate the inherent yearning many of us have: to have a formula with which we could easily calculate just exactly who we are, and scientifically prove to ourselves that we are good — even if unsure of what ‘good’ may exactly be.

This course helps students to develop the skills needed to plan, design, build and promote websites to a professional standard using contemporary principles and techniques. Across six integrated, core modules, the course covers three key areas of web design practice: Technical, Functional and Aesthetic. The ‘Technical’ area includes the three core front-end technologies; HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the key principles and philosophies which guide their use. These include, Web Standards, Content Out, One Web, Progressive Enhancement and Responsive Design. Relevant backend technologies such as PHP and MySQL are also included. The course also covers WordPress theme design
MA Web Design + Content Planning and an introduction to other content management systems. The ‘Functional’ area includes topics such as User Experience Design, Accessibility, Content Strategy, Information Architecture and SEO. Such areas are not peripheral to web design. This course takes a holistic approach, giving you a broad understanding of the web design industry. The ‘Aesthetic’ area includes the principles of graphic design, including Layout, Composition, Typography, Colour, Identity and Branding. In each case, aesthetic principles are backed up with technical implementation. Ultimately, the three fundamental areas of web design are indivisible, and this course takes an integrated and balanced approach. Theory and practice are given equal weight.

School of Design
Research Dr Benz Kotzen Research and Enterprise Lead
The creation of the School of Design provides stupendous opportunities for intradisciplinary as well inter and multi-disciplinary research and other collaborations across the School, the University and the wider world. Building on the multitude of disciplines that the energetic and talented staff bring to research, we have the opportunity to grow research and enterprise, creating our mark, fashioning centres of excellence in a variety of fields encompassing the theoretical, technological, scientific and the creative. All serious research needs to have a purpose, break new ground and have social and/or economic impact and our research does this ‘in spades’. We are indeed breaking new ground, innovating, with our collaborations with EU partners in COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), ERASMUS + and INTERREG projects and our PhD students are similarly pushing the boundaries in their various fields. Our PhD cohort is expanding, in line with the technical capabilities enhanced amongst other things, through the purchase of new kit including 3D scanning, 360° camera and allied equipment that will allow research in 360° narrative filming, and the use of immersive technologies and the launch of the first weather station in the heart of Greenwich that will provide data for research across many disciplines. The work in the Aquaponics Lab has indicated that a number of Asian vegetables imported from South East Asia could well be grown aquaponically, reducing carbon and ecological footprints and potentially costs. Highlights of Design research this year include ‘Diversity and Inclusivity by Design’ (d+iD) which brings together researchers and collaborations from around the globe, including, FABRICA Research Centre (IT), AIGA (USA), International Refugees Forum (GR) and the Greenwich Autistic Society (UK). The outcomes of the research include a collection of artefacts, educational films, a series of specialist talks entitled ‘Design Roast’, international panel discussions and exhibitions. We are also working on the ‘Empowering Youth through Entrepreneurial Skills’ (EYES) project, funded (€ 4.28m) by Interreg Northwest Europe (2018– 2021), the project intends to support people who are not in employment, education or training (NEETs) between the ages of 15–34. Recent outputs include the publication ‘Story Cities – A City Guide for the Imagination’ that highlights universally shared experiences and understandings of ‘the city’ through flash fictions; the ‘Diversity and Inclusivity by Design: Empowering individuals’ exhibition as part of London Design Festival, funded by the Cyprus Embassy in London. In preparing for the REF 2021, we realise the strength of our research, much of which is internationally excellent and some of which is world-leading, but we also know that we can do better and to this end we will endeavour to enhance the facilities and the supporting conditions for both staff and students to undertake high quality research at the School of Design.

Agnesa Pulvirenti’s work (bottom) was a practice research exploration of visual agnosia, described in Oliver Sacks’ ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat’, and showed the effect of visual impairments experienced in this disease.

Why aren’t we using technology to aid our understanding? ‘Infa’ is an AI sketchbook tool for Surface computers that simplifies the creative process. Using one application, collect information that interests you on the web and put it into the browser plugin. Infa organizes and interprets the metadata of your content, and offers you links to other areas of research, while you sketch and develop ideas on the unique Surface interface.’ Tommy Kowalkski + Duarte Ferreira D&AD Winners
