Workshop directors, Lisa Winstanley and Mirna Kataya, had a full house for their day-1 session entitled, “So Ugly.” The workshop focused on the use of metaphor in design and how we can use visual metaphor to create beautiful concepts sometimes for the ugliest of things. It posed the question “what happens if you are asked to come up with a beautiful idea about what beauty really means?”

Lisa and Mirna, both of Box Hill College, brought years of graphic design expertise to the session which quickly filled up. Attendees were able to immediately apply concepts to their own designs during the session and get feedback from the two instructors. Given the great feedback from this workshop, we wish we could offer it every day of the year. Fortunately, The SEEN is holding other exciting workshops until Tuesday
