A Better Future Through Design/Recorded 2014
A close reading, kept within reach.
Dean Poole takes graphic design & illustration as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in New Zealand in 2014, the conversation is grounded in Dean's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
"Part of the system of creativity is creating the rules," says Dean Poole at Design Indaba Conference 2014.
