The Best of the World's Creativity/Recorded 2013

A close reading, kept within reach.

The short version

Louise Fili 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 USA in 2013, the conversation is grounded in Louise'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.

Louise Fili believes designers need to have their own creative projects to find their design voice. She draws much of her inspiration from Italy and eating.
