BEST OF THE BEST We’re proud to introduce SEGD16, our new annual showcase of the “best of the best” in Experiential Graphic Design featuring the SEGD Global Design Awards and SEGD’s Excellence Awards, which honor the people and companies setting the standards of excellence in our community.

SEGD exists to Educate, Connect, and Inspire the global multidisciplinary community of professionals creating experiences that connect people to place. That vision shines through brightly in this new annual. The number and quality of global winners, the breadth of practice areas represented and the range of experiences created are breathtaking!

Our 2016 SEGD Global Design Award winners range from a visitor center at a former coalmine in Lead, South Dakota, to an urban street intervention in Shanghai—with many fascinating projects in between.

The award winners also represent changing paradigms in the design community, with more and more projects integrating digital technology and all projects raising the bar for better user experiences.

“More environments are delivering on users’ expectations to create better experiences,” says Stephen Minning

(BrandCulture, Sydney) the 2016 SEGD Global Design Awards Chair. “Children’s hospitals are easier to navigate through fun environmental graphics, cities are talking the same graphic language, interactive technology is bridging the gap between people and the information they want to access, exhibitions and installations are more creative and engaging.”

Minning noted that EGD work is ever more sophisticated, connected and content-rich.

“Content is not just a branding tool anymore, but becoming a real public benefit for us all,” he notes. “We are able to access more of what we want when we want to it; it’s becoming contextual to each individual.”

We hope you’ll enjoy SEGD16 and be inspired by the projects and people leading our exciting discipline.

You’ll also find the 2016 SEGD Global Design Awards in our extensive awards archive at https://segd.org/awards. There, you’ll see more about the 2016 jury, a winners gallery from the awards ceremony in Seattle and many more images, project information, jury comments and videos to demonstrate the experiential aspects of the projects and inspire you.

O

ver a career that spans more than 40 years, Michael Reed has helped shape a wide variety of public spaces, from airports to courthouses and from urban bike trails to homeless shelters. His humanist approach to design has touched them all—weaving story with place and people to create spaces that respect and improve the quality of life for those using them.

“If design really is intelligence made visible, Michael is among our most thoughtful, creative and inventive practitioners,” says Henry Beer, FSEGD, in describing the work of SEGD’s 2016 Fellow. “Of course ideas must precede design— they aren’t the same thing— and it is in that seminal phase of work where Michael and those he inspires at Mayer/Reed have distinguished themselves for decades. A decidedly humanist, content-rich approach to commissions combined with near superhuman attention to detail demonstrates the depth and breadth of his work.”

Reed takes his place in the SEGD canon alongside pioneers in the environmental/experiential graphic design discipline, including Massimo Vignelli, Lance Wyman, Wayne

Hunt, Sue Gould, David Gibson, Donald Meeker and Beer.

“Work in the public realm is what I’m most interested in,” Reed told SEGD before he was honored June 11 during the 2016 SEGD Conference in Seattle. “You have an obligation then, to the people who are interacting with your work and to the community where that project is located. If you put the greater good in front of everything, it shapes what you do, how you talk about it, the way you frame the message. Through gaining trust I’ve been privileged to do that.”

How did you become a designer? When did you first realize you wanted to be a designer and what did that mean to you?

There is an arc to our lives that sometimes we can only see in hindsight. As I connect the dots, I have some very distinct images of my mother sitting in front of a window sketching things outside. I was maybe 7 years old. I was drawn to art. But I’m also a product of the 1960s, Sputnik and the space race.

that I attended in Springfield, Ohio, we were administered a math test and if you passed it, you were put on a college track.

Being from a small, provincial Industrial Belt town in Ohio, I dutifully headed for college to study engineering. No one encouraged me to pursue art.

The short of this story is that it did not work out. I was misplaced and miserable. Then I turned to architecture, which I saw as a combination of right brain/left brain thinking. The only problem was that I had to pass the physics and math classes. On the brink of flunking out and being suspended, a college counselor helped me discover my calling.

I transferred to the Department of Product Design and Visual Communications in the School of Fine Arts at The Ohio State University. I graduated with a BFA in Product Design.

This was lucky moment #1. I became a designer and I cannot imagine any other course in life. Design is an applied art form. It solves problems while creating beauty.

Tell us about your early work as a designer?

During the 1970s, I was in discovery mode, not yet finding my

way. While at OSU I was an intern at Westinghouse, working in their product design studio on consumer products. After graduation the economy was in one of those cyclical downturns, so I spent a season as a “ski bum” in Vail, Colorado. When I returned to Ohio, I worked in space planning and interiors for a firm in Columbus for three years. It was there that I met Carol Mayer, my future wife and business partner. We struck up an affinity and then a romance and three months in, she told me she was heading to Utah State University for graduate school!

This was my #2 lucky moment in life. I followed a girl to Utah sight unseen. During our two years there, the vast inter-mountain landscapes and the national parks left an indelible mark on my subconscious that was a near religious experience. While Carol was pursuing her masters in landscape architecture, I started a space planning and interior design practice in the garage of the house we rented in Logan, Utah.

By the time Carol graduated, we knew we were not going back to Ohio. We had become westerners in our thinking and our spirit.

She was offered a job in Portland and we moved there in 1977— once again, sight unseen.

Tell us about how Mayer/Reed was formed and about your partnership with Carol. How has having a landscape architect as a partner informed and shaped your work?

We often joke about moving west across the Oregon Trail in our Conestoga Volkswagon Beetle with our belongings lashed to the gray tube steel roof rack and our skis pointing skyward from metal cups attached to the back bumper.

I rented an office space and literally hung up my shingle without any contacts or resources. As a 28-year old, I had no fear, just blind ambition. The first major break was a commission to design the interiors for the top three floors of the Portland Building, the first Post-Modern high-rise, designed

by Michael Graves. After we had our first child, Carol decided to start her own landscape architecture practice, so she shared my office space. We formed a partnership for practical reasons, but at that point, it wasn’t about what we could do together… we were each figuring out how to approach things in our own field of practice. The cross-disciplinary influences had not yet started to percolate.

What changed that?

About 13 years ago, we received a commission to design the Eastbank Esplanade in Portland. The site was a derelict riverfront area, isolated from the adjacent neighborhoods by the I-5 freeway.

The 1.5-mile promenade that Carol’s group had designed was to serve as a transportation link for pedestrians and bicyclists, but it lacked connectivity and public awareness. We developed an art and interpretive plan that illustrated how site interventions could activate and draw attention to the promenade. One of those outcomes was what we called the “urban markers.”

The urban marker idea was based on the simple notion of marking where the east/west streets historically extended to the river, now cut off by the interstate. The 20-ft.-tall pylons included luminaires, street signs and interpretive panels. There were 19 of these along the promenade at river’s edge.

We had an agenda: to help the public understand how the urban fabric of Portland developed and how as informed citizens, we can intelligently participate in that conversation.

That project was so large and complex that it drew our two practices together. It was all hands on deck; it didn’t matter

what your design background was, you were needed. We were doing all kinds of things we never imagined. That was the beginning of a more holistic collaborative approach that dealt with placemaking identity, history and urban design. It was the defining moment in our practice.

This is when we realized that through visual communications in public space, we could be a part of the dialogue about how the city evolves. That expanded our thinking.

And since then, we’ve done a series of projects wherein we could help effect social, cultural and civic change in the way we help shape these public environments. That was THE defining moment of our practice.

What are the other projects or achievements that have most impacted the trajectory of your work?

The public’s response to the Eastbank project and the critical accolades boosted our confidence and expanded our thinking.

Since then, we’ve designed other projects wherein we could

16 — SEGD16

explore the influences of social, cultural and historic contexts to the way we help shape these public environments.

Our work is embedded in the public realm and that’s where our hearts are. We work with municipalities, transit agencies, development commissions on the public side, and with developers on the private side. They have to build something in the context of how their project interfaces with the greater public good, and we can help with that.

It’s easy to see that there is a socially conscious component to the work you’re doing at Mayer/Reed.

Can you talk to us about that?

Our design work has extended to social service facilities for Outside In and Home Forward. It’s about giving these places some humanity, and providing dignity to the people they deserve.

Homelessness, often the product of alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness and other unfortunate circumstances is

a societal problem that will probably not go away and should not be hidden away.

Again, it’s about choosing to be part of the dialogue about raising the quality of life for all citizens. We’re very lucky to live in a progressive city and state. And we’ve learned that we actually have a voice that is valued and influential, one that can make a difference. That’s what excites me about what we’re doing. We’re currently working on a youth corrections facility.

It’s for young men, and we were brought in by the architect who asked us to think about how environmental graphics could contribute to an environment that helps these young men find purpose and meaning in their lives.

We’ve started doing placemaking and wayfinding projects through Travel Oregon’s Rural Tourism Studio, which assists rural communities with economic development through recreation and bicycle-based tourism initiatives. These communities do not share the wealth centered in the large urban areas. They are short on resources. It challenges our own design thinking.

What do you think is your legacy?

Maybe that is for others to frame.

When I met Carol and followed her west my mother’s parting words were “do the right thing”. I never asked her what she meant by that and now realize it is for each of us to figure out over time and by each successive generation.

I have always wanted to design beautiful things, but learned that for this activity to be meaningful it had to move beyond arbitrariness. A client doesn’t ask you to design a beautiful thing. They ask you to solve a problem. They trust you to design something of beauty that solves their problem. Maybe my legacy is instilling in our staff that, if you are given this privilege and trust, you have the obligation to do the right thing.

You have to do things that contribute and add value.

The role of information in modern society is constantly growing and the discipline and role of information design continues to evolve. This was the basic concept for INFORMATION, an exhibition at the Art Academy of Latvia focusing on the products, services and processes of graphic design in Latvia.

The exhibition demonstrated 12 different applications of information design including packaging, visual identity, book design, data visualization, interactive and digital tools, etc.

The exhibit included 66 works by Latvian designers—all very different, but united by a passion for graphic design.

Design Studio H2E research the topic through specific Internet sites, printed media, interviews with design professionals and expertise provided by museum curators. The primary objective of the exhibit was to invite people to explore the diversity of design in Latvia and raise awareness about information design as an essential component of virtually every field.

The team’s key challenge was how to make the exhibition

comprehensible for people who are not directly involved in the field of information design. Inspired by the process and basic principles of graphic design, they realized design work always starts with a white A4-size sheet of paper. Using this basic building block, they multiplied it 45 times, positioned the exhibition surfaces on a grid and arranged the objects on them. Black-on-white text was chosen as the purest way to present the information, emphasizing the colorfulness of the exhibition content.

Graphic design is interactive, and the H2E team integrated this interaction in the exhibition with mirrored tables that reflected each other and the movement of people through the exhibit—emphasizing the role of the audience in information design.

They chose three ways of presenting the design works: texts and images as printouts, actual objects and screen displays with videos. Each table revealed its theme via speech bubbles hung above it. The bubbles were communication’s intermediaries and

SEGD16 — 25

BEST OF SHOW + HONOR AWARD

initiators—every bubble contained a specific question that had been asked to the authors of the works exhibited. Their answers were presented on the surfaces next to their work, creating an almost personal connection between visitor and designer.

These almost levitating surfaces filled with graphic design formed the first part of the exhibition. The second part was a reading zone that provided visitors with insight into printed media and focused on the various aspects of design in Latvia’s economic and cultural space in this century. This allowed visitors to focus their attention on a different, more contemplative level.

Overall, INFORMATION created an experience that invited people to explore the diverse facets of graphic design and encouraged communication and interaction among visitors and the space, graphic designers and the information itself. The level of exhibition visitors, attendance at graphic design lectures, press coverage and positive feedback prompted the museum to extend the exhibition an additional two weeks longer than planned.

“ This project is about simplicity and clarity of information— exactly what graphic design is about. Stripping the presentation down to black and white removes any interference or distraction from the work. Every component has been carefully thought through, from the form of the thought-bubble labels to the use of the space and the mirrored tables that remind us that people are the essential element of our work. ”—Jury comment

SYLVIA HARRIS AWARD

Canadian Museum for Human Rights Interactive Exhibits

SEGD16 — 29

SYLVIA HARRIS AWARD + MERIT AWARD Canadian Museum for Human Rights Interactive Exhibits Canadian Museum for Human Rights Winnipeg, Canada

30 — SEGD16

Sylvia Harris (1953-2011), the founder and principal of Citizen Research & Design, was a passionate advocate of design for the public good. The Sylvia Harris Award honors her work and her legacy.

Project Area 300m2 Open Date September 2014 Design Firm Gagarin Design Team Kristin Eva Ólafsdóttir (graphic design and art director); Magnus Elvar Jónsson (graphic design and illustrations); Michael Tran (graphic design and

content creation); Heimir Freyr Hlöðversson (film, audio and storytelling); Nils Wiberg (interaction design); Samúel H. Jónasson, Pétur Guðbergsson (programmers); Asta Olga Magnusdottir (project manager) Photos ©The Canadian Museum for Human Rights and Ian McCausland

The new Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg was designed as a national hub for human rights learning and discovery and a catalyst for a new era of global human rights leadership. Interactive experience firm Gagarin (Reykjavík) was given a complex challenge: communicate, in a highly accessible and engaging way, stories about struggles and triumphant movements for change in the realization of human rights around the world. The installations should leave visitors with an appreciation of the impact of rights in people’s everyday lives and emphasize that fights to protect human rights are ongoing.

Gagarin’s three exhibits contribute to the museum’s aim of creating an engaging experience with human rights that will inspire and leave a lasting impression on visitors. User testing was conducted on various levels for all three installations, both for interaction and usability and also understanding of content and narrative. Developed using Universal Design principles, the exhibits aim to set new world standards for universal accessibility.

“ The methodologies practiced in this project should illustrate that it is not enough to simply adhere to government accessibility guidelines by rote. We must see access to information as a core value of our culture and continue to challenge ourselves to expand the opportunity of information and experience.”—Jury comment

“ An elegant and not-expected design solution for a corporate headquarters. It gives careful consideration to honoring both historical precedent and technological advancements, while harmoniously working within the building’s material finish palette.
