To be creative today, we should push ourselves towards new challenges and learn about others’ perspectives. This technique polishes our creative skills and encourages us to work hard to get new ideas to survive in this competitive world. Competitions enhance the ability to be a better designer.
Studying graphic design, finding inspiration, learning the art of listening, and challenging ideologies through design competitions is a way to become a better and more effective designer. Keeping these things in mind, the ARCH College of Design & Business is coming with a unique interactive competition called Design story as a part of Pink City Design confluence 2022.
What you need to know about Design Culture-Design Story Photo video Competition:
The one thing which separates a good designer from a great one is the story behind their idea. Storytelling is an art that every designer should possess, owning and relating their story, which could be unique in their perception. Design Story competition at Pink City Design Confluence is about capturing your storyline with an exciting take to make it memorable throughout your journey even after the confluence.
