Product Scotland: Creativity December 17, 2007

This workshop is designed to introduce and explore the notion of creative narrative in product design development. Design and the telling of stories are practices that are not often thought of in the same category; but together this workshop will explore the relationship between these two creative practices. Through the workshop participants will explore the scripting of products and lifestyles, products as props, plot devices, and dramatic product genres, and investigate how Product Designers embed future narratives in the products they design. These explorations challenge the old stories that are told about design, in which more deterministic conception of programme, function, or construction hold sway. The workshop will aim to construct a new narrative and notion of design process (and product) that engages more fully with creative outcomes as we actually experience and make them.
