PLUGZINE Where to start? / No 1

“The initial concept was to find a path to encourage diversity, promote cultural pluralism and provide new opportunities to aspiring designers across the world…and plug a path between East and West… Designers represented here are commended for the depth of their thinking…”

Joyn:Design approach is courageous and exciting. Asking designers to express about a topic that is usually relegated to the atmospheric spheres of high intellectualism which is not bad, but mostly and usually worst, relegated to ‘socio cultural’ politics.

In this world of mass indifference fed by mass media whereas we are told over and over how impotent we are to affect and make changes…

In fact, they are pointing and asking hard and harsh questions that need answers… now! Not another massive dose of comforting and empty advertising babble and/or corporate happy talk wanting to control culture.

In my opinion, there is a huge difference between an urge to design and an urge to communicate! The set of skills are the same – the mindset is altogether completely different!

It grants a powerful tribune where we can speak loud and clear!
