Evolve

  • Craig Black
-ING Creative Festival gathers both regional and international professionals from varied positions and specializations within the creative industry to give and attend a series of Talks, Workshops and an Exhibition situated in Dubai, UAE.

I was invited alongside 30 international artists and designers to exhibit during the festival. As part of the exhibition, I created and explored a new series of typographic and lettering work.

Wood has played an important role in the history of civilisation. Humans have constantly found new ways to make use of wood i.e. to produce fuel, building materials, furniture, paper, tools, and more. This continual 'evolving' process of changing form and purpose, very much relates to the designer. As a designer you must 'evolve' with challenges and 'evolve' your skill set.
