Design from keyword to color combination, shape, and texture
Signifix
workshop
series
A design usually starts from keywords referring either to emotions, ambiences, brand values or functionalities. The meaning and connotations of a word, however, differ among people. A case in point is the notion ‘pure’, which might either convey ‘cleanliness’, ‘undiluted’, or ‘natural’. As a result the team of designers and client often come to find out they are not on the same page, with time-wasting as a consequence.
The goal of the workshop series is to learn how to probe the meaning of a keyword and compose corresponding color combinations, shapes, and textures. The workshops will provide a much improved communication between the participating actors. By means of keywords the groundbreaking SigniFix design and communication method will run the design process precisely and efficiently without bypassing intuition. The SigniFix design method comprises twenty years plus of scientific research coming to fruition.
