Throughout the week, in the mornings, were given talks from different designers, agencies and people from industry. Then they normally stayed around for the rest of the day to chat with us about our ideas and help us with our projects.
I really enjoyed the presentations. It was interesting, for me, coming from a product design background, to compare how people in other industries work. A lot of the presentations talked about interactive design, digital media and their applications which was really exciting.
Presentations included:
Glue London - who worked with us a lot through out the week. Also, included a talk by their head of innovation Dom O'brien which was really cool. I've decided I want his job! They talked us through a research and development project involving face recognition software which was really exciting.
Onedotzero - who arranged cascade_09 in conjunction with d&ad, talked us through what they do and their work all over the world. And they have been following us and the progress of our work on their blog
Quayola - Davide from Quayloa came to talk to us about his moving image work and showed us some of his amazing audio / visual pieces. They are amazing. Watch the video below.

Greyworld - Andrew Shoben from Greyworld gave a very entertaining presentation that everyone really enjoyed. I'd heard of greyworld before but wasn't actually that familiar with their work or the way they work. What they did didn't seem like work, just like good fun!
John Nussey - talked us through some of his projects. I really liked his biosphere. Our group is hoping to work with him to make a working mock-up of our idea for the presentation at the BFI in September.
Squint Opera - set up Doodle Bar where we got to work for the week. A very cool space to work! They talked about their projects visualising architecture work.
Overall a really exciting and inspiring week that has helped me take a fresh look at design, different design disciples and different opportunities in the design industry.
