Effective design for all

Good design can bring great strategic benefits to all areas of a company. That’s the message that the West of England Design Forum want to get across to businesses that may not have previously put great emphasis on design. A series of talks and workshops, “Five Days of Design’ set in Bristol, hopes to convince them of the need for good design in products and communication to develop and increase sales. The programs for each of the days cover many areas. Day 4 is ‘Why design matters’ looking at design and the electronics industry and takes place at the Bristol and Bath science park. On Day 2, ‘The Value of Design’ is a workshop for those already working as designers on how to communicate better with clients. Whether you work in the design area or you think your role could benefit from a designer’s advice see the full details at the organiser’s website. http://www.wedesignforum.co.uk/events/2012/03
