Weren't we told that if we would work hard enough, we could all become star designers? Instead we got burn outs and unpaid invoices. Weren't we told competition would bring out the best design for the best price?Now there are more designers than ever, but with the threat of automation and outsourcing it is becoming more difficult to find paid design work. Cut throat competition will not solve this dilemma. How can we be in solidarity with other designers, and work together to create better working conditions?
KMD, Grafill and graphic designer and author of CAPS LOCK, Ruben Pater, invites you to join a discussion on the future of design labor, and how we can shift our profession to solidarity rather than a winner-takes-all mentality.
