FiftySix Design TalksCreative Ideas. To Market. HELP SHAPE THE JOURNEY
2nd December, 18:00 – 20:30, Valletta Design Cluster
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN A CREATIVE PRODUCT IS READY FOR MARKET?
For a new gadget or machine, there are established ways to judge how mature a product is. For a ceramic collection, a debut album, a fashion line, an interactive installation or a game, the answer is much less clear, and measures built for technical products often fail to fit.
Fifty Six is a voluntary project led by I+A Design Studio and the Valletta Design Cluster with participants from the main educational institutions and industry on the island. It is building an online portal that offers information and practical tools to product designers and other creatives who want to take their work to market. We want to include a readiness guide that reflects how creative work develops and reaches its audience, and we want to build it together with the people who will use it.
We are inviting you to join us for a dedicated workshop on the 2nd December to help shape it.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
🟣Share what "ready" really means in your discipline
🟣Map real projects from first idea to market
🟣Help draft the dimensions and stages of a new readiness framework
🟣Stress-test the draft against real cases and tell us where it breaks
WHY TAKE PART

🟣Meet practitioners from other creative fields and compare notes
