Call to Designers: Process as Prototype
April 5, 2011
ADX presents an investigation of the idea of prototype. The show simply explores how people work. We are less interested in the end product itself, but the instead process of concept, exploration, failure, redesign, feedback loop, light bulb moments, and unexpected discoveries. Present your original idea. Show the process you went through. Display the pieces. We want you to share the struggle of your prototyping method. ADX is seeking a variety of work in all phases of completion from graphic design, industrial design, architecture, and beyond. Individual and group submissions are welcome.
Accepted submissions will be on display June 1 – 5, 2011 and will be featured during ADX’s Grand Opening celebration on Friday, June 3, 2011.
Application Materials/Instructions:
Pitch your initial idea by Monday, April 11, 2011
ADX will consider applications by reviewing images submitted as electronic files via email. Please submit no more than four images per item for no more than three designs (maximum twelve images). Please choose the images that best show the process of your idea that you wish to present.
Full Submission Deadline: April 30, 2011
Submit to: info@adxportland.com
ADX will only accept submissions via email. No phone calls or drop-ins, please.
