Lecture by the Reverend Shane McCraig
Presented as part of CCA's Graduate Studies Lecture Series
Thursday, April 1, 2010, 7 pm
Timken Auditorium, CCA SF Campus
More details
The Reverend Shane McCraig has toured the world unlocking the mysteries of design, reframing what it means to a designer, and saving young designers from essential business practices that can strip great design of its soul.
Through invigorating and inspired storytelling, the Reverend reveals the emotive power of playfulness in the design process and uncovers how this process makes the connection between seemingly illogical product inspiration and the success that is found in everything from pet rocks and hula hoops to cola bottles and vacuum cleaners.
