    In late summer, ONLINEPRINTERS and Forward launched an open call for posters focusing on the one topic that has never been more accurate than in 2020: Creative Crisis. We asked creatives what they were doing during Corona lockdown? What has been their inspiration, who has been their muse? We wanted to see how a worldwide crisis made them creative and how COVID-19 affected their artwork. No matter if the piece was created during the lockdown or right after.

    What even is creativity? – Everything that you are passionate about, Adobe MAX says

    Defining creativity may seem like a daunting task. The fact that everyone seems to have a different angle on a topic as broad as humankind itself does not exactly help, admittedly. Or does it? This year’s Adobe MAX, taking place from October 20 to 22, has a simple yet inspiring answer: There are as many aspects to creativity as there are creators. Or, as they put it: “Creativity for All”.

    What would you do, if you have one year of creative freedom? One year, where you don’t have to make money for a living but can create with a purpose? A year, where you can travel and meet people that you would never have the chance to meet? A year where you can speak at conferences and run workshops? A year where you can experiment and find your voice? What would you want to share? What would you want to learn? And what would you want to do?

    When architecture meets media

    Light has been part of architecture for centuries. But in the last 20 years, more and more technologies have found their way into the design process of buildings and facades. It isn’t about natural light only anymore, but rather about how lighting and technology can be used to make the building tell a story, transmit a message or even become interactive. To explore this topic further, we sit down with iart’s founder and CEO Valentin Spiess, who talks to us about his agency, his take on media architecture and about his hometown of Basel.

    Breathe In. Breath Out. Breathe MINI   We live in a hectic digital world. Waking up, drinking coffee, responding on messages, going to work, writing hundreds of emails, having lunch, writing even more emails, leave the office, arriving at home, feeling dissatisfied and the essential things are out of sight. Five to seven days a week. In this daily rush there is no time to get aware of the problems of our time, and even less time to actively work on it.

    What role can creatives play for digital transformation?

    Digitale Vernetzung, Globalisierung, das Zusammenbrechen von wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Ökosystemen und das Ringen um soziales Gleichgewicht – in ein paar Jahren werden wir diese Zeit als "Tipping Point" sehen. Von “disruptions of whole scenes” wird in vielen Medien berichtet. Inmitten tosender Wellen werden sich faszinierende Chancen für innovative "Surfer" auftun, die es verstehen diese Wellen zu reiten – und somit unsere Zukunft positiv mitgestalten. Wer, wenn nicht DesignerInnen, Entrepreneurs und Start Ups sollten diese "Surfer" sein? Kaum eine Generation ist so auf die direkte Analyse und Lösung von Problemen fokussiert. Im Grunde ist Design ein Prozess oder Denken, das fast in jeder Phase des Innovationsprozesses Anwendung finden kann. Dabei dürfen wir nicht primär an etablierte Disziplinen wie Grafikdesign, Architektur oder Mode denken.
