Join us for an afternoon filled with creativity, innovation, and inspiration. To celebrate 25 years of Vermillion Design, this in-person event will be held at City Assembly House, 58 William St, Dublin 2, a hub for graphic design enthusiasts to come together and share ideas.
We welcome five distinguished speakers from the graphic design industry including Jack Smyth, Mary Doherty – Red Dog Design Consultants, Con Kennedy – TU Dublin School of Art & Design, Colin Farmer & Noelle Cooper – Unthink and Caitlin Quinn – Vermillion Design. Each design expert will speak for approx. 20 minutes about four different design projects that inspired or changed their career plus one design project they wished had never happened!
Whether you're a seasoned designer or just starting out, this graphic design symposium is the perfect opportunity to network, learn from industry experts, hear about career changing projects, including some that went astray. A retrospective exhibition of Vermillion's work will be on display. Don't miss out on this exciting event!
