Not everything is design. But design is about everything.

Mon, 5 Jul 2010 20:22:32 +1000

Great design creates a seamless connection between need and desire. The State of Design Festival is the public face of the Victorian Government Design Victoria Strategy. Established in 2004, the Festival is now an annual event. The Festival increases the awareness of the value of design and showcases how design generates innovation, promotes sustainability and adds value to business and society. Festival programs demonstrate and broadly communicate how the Victorian and Australian design profession can improve living conditions, create sustainable development opportunities, and generate new and innovative products and services; in turn, providing economic benefit for the state of Victoria. The 2010 State of Design Festival will take place from 14 - 25 July throughout metropolitan Melbourne, and regional centres around Victoria.
