preface This catalogue represents the results from the third edition of Open Set Graphic Design Summer School. Open Set is a two-week summer event directed towards young creators (designers, artists, architects, curators), thinkers and innovators. Our goal is to promote and enhance the social value of design by facilitating debates around the chosen theme from a rich diversity of perspectives, design traditions and socially engaged cultural practices. We advocate for design which equally can have a tangible shape as well as being a hidden process, but always remains powerful enough to make an innovative change. The event aims to offer our participants an environment where they are inspired to step out of their comfort zone and question the conventional ways of working (in any professional practices), experiment with different strategies, techniques, ideas and cross-sector collaborations in order to develop their own practices with confidence.

While each year has a theme that subscribes to Open Set’s core values, the 2014 edition under the theme Social Game, has been focusing on the role of the designer in processes of public engagement with cultural production and distribution.

The processes we addressed and their consequences are directly connected to current global economical, technological, and social change. We experience the arising of new economical forms, creative and decentralized forms of economy. We are part of a new type of cross-disciplinary collaboration, which deals better with the complex and ever-changing social requests and at the same time questions the concept of unique skills of the expert. Working in an era of technological boom requires attention to the digital medium and ability to adapt and build our own creative tools.

This situation influences not only the designer, but the consumer (end-user) and the society in general. Maarten Hajer, the director of the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL – Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving) argues that we live in a time of an Energetic society, which is more creative and takes initiative with the help of open source tools and 4

platforms for sharing information, making it effective in solving the problems of communities within the local landscapes.

This societal context positions the designer not as executor or producer, but as creator of strategies, facilitating the conditions for social processes and even provoking new ones. Designers are busy searching for new links and ways of interaction between the areas of visual culture, social environment, economy and education.

Open Set examined this theme by focusing on existing reactions from the creative industry to new social requirements — a focus informed by designers who create participatory and interactive experiences, act as journalists building visual stories, activate the audience and initiate social processes and digital platforms.

The program included simultaneous workshops of one or three days by Dutch and International tutors such as designers Andy Altmann, Jan van Toorn, Annelys de Vet, Karel van der Waarde, Andreas Gysin, Richard Vijgen, curatorial duo Latitudes, visual artist Jeanne van Heeswijk, independent design critic Max Bruinsma and art historian, curator Els Kuijpers.

We wanted to show the results of the event not as finished solutions but rather visual notes from the dialogue that took place and which sparked new collaborations and projects, even shaping some creative practices of those involved. We aim here to illuminate the working processes of an international group of young professionals who were motivated to change the patterns of design working and to be influenced by different ways of looking at design expertise. This pursuit was enabled by bringing together designers’ experiences from around the world, and also by embracing a diverse range of methods from key tutors.

Heather Griffin, Margarida Botelho, Rüdiger Hahn Heart Bombing Rotterdam proposal for the public space installation

On the 14th May 1940 the German army bombed Rotterdam, destroying the heart of the city. Since then, the centre has been completely redeveloped but it has been said that Rotterdam has no heart.

Our response to this was to give Rotterdam back it’s heart, and not just one but several all around the city. Heart sculptures of various sizes dropped all over the city, for people to look at, photograph, sit on, climb on, get shelter from the rain. They are multi functional, sculptures that can act as furniture, play things, surfaces to deface or make into artworks.

They would become part of the landscape of the city.

12 open set 2014

This is not an obvious typographic solution at first, but that’s where the people of Rotterdam come in. The hearts are there for users to interact with and put their own mark on them. The typographic feature will be the people’s hand type, displaying messages of affection for one and other, celebrating the city, messages of protest.

Rotterdam is also known as the multicultural capital of the Netherlands, therefore we would see typography in many different languages. They would become the environmental graphics of the city. These sculptures are there to engage people in creating messages as well as receiving them.

Further development of the project would be in creating an identity for Rotterdam encompassing the heart. Where the city would now be recognised for its heart rather than for not having one.

Nick Reilly typographic kinetic sculpture

Typographic kinetic sculpture, in response to the windmill which survived the bombing, however did not survive the modernization of the city.

One arm reads ‘Verleden’ (english translation; ‘past’), and the other reads ‘Heden’ (english translation; ‘present’). The arms rotate in opposition directions on an axis, when they meet together parallel they read ‘Verleden & Heden’ (‘past & present’).

Carmen Reina GarcĂ­a-Matres WORD BUILDING IN ROTTERDAM is an experiment on Urbanism and Typography.

From landscape and cities to letterspace, architects are trained to comprehend reality in different dimensions. Through this alphabet, I create a game of scales, considering the city of Rotterdam as a very complex, organic grid in which letterforms can be designed.

Could they be used as real urban walks through the city? How obvious are letterforms in a grid for different people? How many imaginary cities can I create with this alphabet?

20 open set 2014

(on the right page) DO YOU READ THE CITY? is a poster that takes the same principle as the previous word building project to the scale of streets and buildings.

The area of the Witte de Withstraat in Rotterdam serves as a canvas for new letterforms. The sentence Lees je de stad? makes reference to the game of scales previously explained.

Typographic Response to Rotterdam

On approaching this brief my initial idea was to look for traces of the past in the architecture of Rotterdam and in particular in the lettering on buildings. This proved to be difficult due to the bombing of the city during the war and the depletion of the original architecture found in the old city (Stadsdriehoek). Over the following years the architecture was replaced with a hybrid of architecture styles. The city decided not to dwell on the past but to reinvinvent itself, using new styles and materials. This resulted in a miss-match of an identity; with the city in some areas looking like it could be mistaken for downtown LA. For my response I decided that I would pick a focal point in the city that I perceived to be particularly grey and lack lustre of a clear character and to unite it with one word. The architecture in the city can be a lot to take in and

During Andy Altmann’s workshop I made a mock up (fig 1.) I photographed an area near the train station that had interesting angles and a large area where my structure could go. For this mock up I picked the word “Kleur” which is Dutch for colour. Breaking up the letters and placing them at different distances the word itself could only be read from a certain focal point. At this viewing point the letters would not only form the word but would line up with the buildings behind it, illuminating the structures of the city and adding colour to them.

If this structure was to be materialised, I would have it constructed in metal and it would consist of obstructed shapes that would only be recognised as letterforms from one focal point.

Other words for consideration would be words that perhaps related to the area of Rotterdam or perhaps related to Rotterdam as a whole eg. Past Rotterdam: Stadsdriehoek and present Rotterdam: Hybrid.

We created project to support Rotterdam suburbs.

There’re 12 problem districts in the Netherlnds and several of them are in Rotterdam. Also I read much about not well-knowen buildings made in international style near Rotterdam. So we created nice object under the influence of Alexander Rodchenko who was a famous constructivist and place hash tag “Rotterdamsuburbs” and name of one of interesting building in the Rotterdam suburbs to interest and motivate people to go there and see it.

Veronica Sung proposal for the public space installation

28 open set 2014

In Andy’s workshop, we created a design with a relation of a typographic structures that represent the importance of Rotterdam. My idea was to make a window installation on the street in order to bring the awareness of history of window designs in Rotterdam. There was a huge transition before and after the WW2; the structure of windows were very traditional and conventional but everything became modern after the building were demolished by the war.

Window is a structure that people has the most access to design but because it’s too obvious, they wouldn’t pay attention to it anymore, at least is decreasing. So why don’t I make a installation with something that is obvious but make people to aware it more these days? The installation starts with the window design from Baroque, Rococo, WW2 in 1940, and it continues with the dramatic transition to modern.

Chenoa Pettrup (together with Mark Jan van Tellingen, Alexander Ter-Avakyan, Catarina da Silva and Irina Smirnova) Afrikaanderwijk Coop Card Game

The goal for this one day workshop was to develop a communication strategy that addressed one or more challenges that the Afrikaanderwijk Coop had been facing in conveying their message to the constituents of its community The group that I was working with decided to focus specifically on issues of trust and collaboration as they are particularly interesting challenges in terms of communication. Trust and the values of collaboration cannot be expressed through traditional mediums of communication with any level of efficacy. Simply stating that you are trustworthy or that collaboration is worthwhile does not make either believable or comprehendible.

The way in which we chose to address this issue was to develop a scenario based card game.

In this game, individuals took on the role of a local business (in this case they would be taking on the role of a business actually located in Afrikaanderwijk) and would need to collect the cards of other businesses that could assist them by negotiating with other players. For example, a player may assume the role of a clothing business who wants to put on a fashion show and, as such, would have to collect the cards of other businesses that may assist them with this— a hair dresser, a photographer etc. The players also had to gain services that existed outside of what other businesses can provide (e.g legal advice, electricity, venue hire etc) by earning Afrikaanderwijk Coop cards, which were earned by cooperating and working with other players.

40 open set 2014

As the photos demonstrate, not a lot of time was invested in what the cards looked like on the day (we worked with an extremely, extremely rough prototype). The time we invested in determining the best ways of communicating through game play. In part this was informed by research e.g In looking at different styles of games, anything that involved the exchange of money becomes extremely problematic. In an area where residents have low socio-economic status, games that trivialise money issues could cause anger or be patronising. Likewise, any game play couldn’t be too flippant, as it would appear to trivialise the legitimate issues that residents face (which in turn would make the coop appear unsympathetic and condescending). A lot of time was also in determining where the game would be played, with formal settings being too alienating. Third places, such as coffee houses and tea houses would work better, being a common place of informal gathering.

The best method of working out the game play also required acting it out through the use of a prototype. It was only in “playing” the game that rules could be tested, negotiated and retested.

Scenario based games such as this one require an incredible level of complexity. While at the end of the one day workshop, some issues in gameplay had not been fully resolved, it would be difficult to do so comprehensively in such a short amount of time. However, the process of development and subsequent discussion at the end of the day were incredibly valuable for me as a designer as a means of gaining better understanding of communication through “non-traditional” means of visual communication.

Veronica Sung Essence: Katendrecht prostitution A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men

During the workshop, I explored the area of Katendrecht, a small neighbourhood of Rotterdam. It was interesting to learn that the area contains its own history and personality even though it’s connected with Rotterdam.

The essence I choice was prostitution. People who are not used to the environment may feel embarrassed just being in the area but those people don’t realize that prostitutes treat their job as normal like the others. So I wanted to create an environment where also those kind of people can feel comfortable, free, but not overwhelming. The space I created it’s sex gallery-like but outside of between two buildings. While people are walking through the street, they can read and enjoy objects, photographs, quotes, and videos related to sexism, and see the designs on buildings. So the area wouldn’t looks like full of red and dark but warm and welcoming atmosphere. The idea behind this concept is to make people to touch the actual object so even if the think it’s awkward at first all the people share the same experience and laugh at it if they want to.

Heather Griffin Duw me - Trek je (Push me – Pull you)

I attended a festival that Saturday and decided to test out the first stages of my concept. I brought with me a reel of string and some arrow stickers.

Throughout the evening I approached people handing them one or the other and letting them do what ever came to mind, while interacting with someone else. I filmed the results.

Trapped in Suburbia’s experience design workshop, began with a handout giving a brief history of Katendrecht. It was the port side of the city and during wartime it became a free state within Rotterdam. It was a place where Jazz music prospered and a safe zone that was forbidden for German’s to visit.

One group started a skipping game with the string, while onlookers, not really knowing what was going on joined in. Another girl took the arrows and stuck them on people and sent her friend off to try and find as many as he could.

This was more of a tag team experience.

While researching this story we had to find what felt was the essence of the place and design a experience based around this essence.

My essence was Improvise, partly due to improvisation in Jazz and partly due to the people of Katendrecht not having much but improvising with what they had to get by.

The festival was a great place to try something like this out, because people are already having fun and are willing to try things. There were many people who wouldn’t take art either but that was also fine. I was completely out of my comfort zone approaching people to partake so it was a learning curve for me also.

Using this word and the party spirit of the area I developed my concept around providing various unrelated tools to people and observing how they worked together and improvised with these tools, ideally with a fun outcome.

To develop this project I would organise a Katendrecht festival where the residents and visitors are invited to take part and improvise using their imaginations along with various tools provided. Different areas in the district would be set up to promote different interactions, but the people taking part would really be the ones who are generating the overall experience. Naturally Jazz would be the music of choice for Duw me Trek je Katendrecht festival.

The experience was called Duw me - Trek je (Push me – Pull you) inspired by the push-me pull-you from Dr Seuss. An animal with two heads and one body, it has to work together and compromise to get achieve anything.

Emma Conway Mood Music

Starting point: The music in Katendrecht had an impact on peoples moods, whether it was the locals and the uplifting aspects of the jazz music or the Germans and their negative reactions to the jazz if they entered a bar.

Response: What if music responded to our moods? Is it possible for our moods to be measured? The music could then match these moods or help uplift these moods.

Scenario: the club. DJs often play off the crowds energy. Some DJs are better than this than others.

Ellie Thomas Counter Stereotypes

My Katendrecht piece is based around the idea of counter stereotypes. The part of the Katendrecht story that interested me the most was the changing assumptions people made about the area and the people in it. Before wartime, it was considered a blight on the city but later became the only part of the city where people felt at home. I took this idea and designed a typographic poster featuring two seemingly opposite descriptions of the area: “moral ruin” and “safe haven”. The messages are overlaid on top of each other and, through the use of different coloured lights, the messages can be hidden and revealed in turn. Both messages exist and on the same poster and, although they conflict, both are true at once - it just depends on how you look at it.

Hopefully this can open up a discussion around the assumptions we make and our own skewed perspectives.

Workshop 3.2 Annelys de Vet Facilitating conditions for social processes

69 social game

Jenny Stuttard Us and We

Annelys is clearly a motivated and passionate woman. She’s a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration.

She started her workshop with examples of her work, people she’s inspired by and most importantly the social issues and causes that are a strong focus of hers, and are obviously very close to her heart. This set the tone for us when it came to starting on our projects and seemed to get us all thinking about big topics.

A couple of areas came to mind, and I chose to focus my project on homophobia. For me it’s the frustration at the injustice of homophobia, and how unnecessary it is, that draws my attention to it and made me want to look at it as the focus of my project.

The workshop was structured in several parts where we discussed our ideas with a partner, and they then went on to take what ideas we’d come up with to another person. These two people would then come up with a brief relating to the chosen topic for the original person.

I thought this was a great process - I really liked to be able to have that idea generation and development that comes from discussion.

I think it’s a pretty time effective way to get an idea together, but you also tend to come up with ideas you would have never thought of on your own. And of course it makes you focus on how you present an idea or how you explain it so that people understand you thoughts and ideas clearly.

Out of this process we decided that fear was one of the main factors in homophobia, and went on to link it to homophobia in sport - and I was set the brief of coming up with a game.

I decided to base my game on netball - where there are two teams, a ball and two goals, with teams scoring by getting the ball to the goal keeper in their goal.

70 open set 2014

My twists to the game came in with that every time someone scores a goal, that person then has to swap and play for the other team. I wanted to focus on people not being set in a mentality of team rivalry, but working together with other people and having a high level of interaction. It’s not about us and them, its about us and we two positive collective pronouns that ultimately includes all.

To distinguish the teams I created reversible sashes - one side saying US the other side saying WE, so that a player could easily swap. Though there was this idea of swapping teams, it’s not meant to be a play on ‘playing for the other team” or “what team do you bat for” or any kind of sexual orientation euphemisms. I just wanted a level of interaction between everyone and to play with the idea of team rivalry.

In netball when a player has the ball, they’re not allowed to move. To play on this I decided that the player isn’t allowed to move or throw the ball when then have it - until a member of their teams comes over and the ball holder tells them a fear. To be able to play the game you have to let out your fears. Fear freezes you, but letting some out frees you.

When it came to the game play, it went down really well. People got really into the game and it was a lot of fun. One particular comment I liked was that someone said they found it difficult to think of fears while they where playing because they where focused on the game - their fears suddenly felt small.

At the start of the project, I definitely wouldn’t have thought I’d have everyone running around on Museumpark, wearing orange and green sashes and yelling out their fears while playing a new version of netball! I liked that I was designing more of an experience, and was thinking in a different way to how I might usually be on a project. I really enjoyed the workshop, and got a lot out of it that I hope to take forward and use in my work.

Chenoa Pettrup Positive Redaction

My particular topic in this workshop was informed by a couple of different influences, predominantly the Moving House issue of Colors which looks at the nature of human migration, which had me thinking about the rhetoric around migration in Australia. Australian prime-minister, Tony Abbott, had successfully campaiged to be elected with a “stop the boats” policy and typical discussions around this topic refer to asylum seekers broadly as illegal immigrants, which is a loaded terminology that isn’t necessarily accurate.

This concept isn’t really anything new or only limited to Australia. The misappropriation of language is a political tactic whose use is ongoing. In process of this workshop, the common thread that started to emerge from the multiple global viewpoints invested was the mediums in which this misappropriation commonly occurs at present.

With the commodification of news, language and reportage has become increasingly coloured.

72 open set 2014

The final individual who took on this concept before it was handed back to me was particularly adamant that the outcome be “positive”.

With this in mind I developed the concept of Positive Redaction. Using the front cover of the newspaper that had been released on the final day of the workshop, I investigated how the cover might change if the misleading or distracting elements were removed.

In order to do this I first categorised the predominant tactics of misinformation: sensationalist language, misleading information and misrepresentation of opinion as fact.

Given the short time frame for execution, the final outcome from the day shown here is relatively simplistic. However, as a long term project, it has more potential. Presently I am looking to do a more comprehensive study of multiple newspapers from my own social context (Queensland, Australia) over a longer period. In doing so, I am looking to do a more comprehensive study of tactics of misrepresentation of information—how frequently they are employed; which tactics are the most common; and how they change dependent the newspaper employing them.

Sometimes we can’t predict the consequences of our work. Designer has to think what is he going to do. If client offers you to do a website about cigarettes for children you have to understand the possible result of it. So where is the border between morals and professionals? This monopoly game will make you think of it.

On this workshop we had to image any complicated parking situation on the streets and improve it. So the situation: doctor is in a hurry to a patient who is dying in his bath full of cocaine. Doctor doesn’t have any time to park his car and he leave it in the middle of the street. His car doesn’t have any special indicators that it is doctor’s car. How does he can show others that he isn’t a freak and that he would leave this place as soon as he can? The balloon! It’s simple. It’s cheap. It’s work.

During this one-day workshop, I created a data visualization to reconstruct the digital self. I counted the frequency how often I open each apps on my phone and as placing them in the order, I was able to see the which app I used to most and the least.

The size of circles represent the number I opened the app, so the bigger has more visit and smaller is less. The order or circles represent the time so the circles on the bottom are earlier than the top. Lastly, the green is what I see in the morning.

Veronica Sung (together with Nick Reilly, Arianna Di Betta, May Chiang) Visual essay

This workshop was probably the hardest in this program but I was so honored to create a project under Jan’s creativity. My group, Nick, Arianna, May, and myself, started off the project under the idea of construction of identity through digital media. People these days engage their lives in countless of social media including Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and more. We happen to see a person on social media isn’t the same person at all in reality and this explains how constructing one’s identity has been changed so much over decades starting with the period when no access to technologies.

Arianna brought photos of random people on the street. Her idea was to capture the moment that experiences on social media and reality aren’t the same, so the moment is intimate and soft.

Using one of her photos, we combined it with multiple videos as placing on particular body parts and the videos synchronize with where they are placed on. Through this project, we wanted to show that every human beings have their own personality which we can read through their gesture, behaviour, and movement.

I had such a great time working with my group and Jan, which helped me to challenge myself.

It brought me into outside of comfort zone and showed me different aspect and perspective of design.

Counter Gaze Visual Essay

We live in a visually-rich world that ultimately constitutes an onslaught of messages from various factors. These messages are curated for us and depend upon the passivity of the viewer for their success. It is the aim of this new form of communication as espoused by van Toorn to disrupt the surface of communications to engage the viewer and demand from them an active reading of the text.

We have made a punk style zine. Each spread features a collage responding to the representation of the female in society. This found imagery has been manipulated and curated to prompt the viewer to question wellestablished notions of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Real Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Is the subject a victim, sexually arousing, powerful, playful, the enforcer?

This is an example of an open work, the meaning is made neither by us six designers as producers nor as women but in the interpretation by the viewer based upon their own experiences and knowledge.

What is brand? Ask the people who were waiting all night on the street when Apple begin selling its new iPhone. Most likely they don’t tell you.

Brand is something ephemeral, something that exists only in our imagination and gross due to the human fantasy. Branding lets people make their decisions easier, think less, take someone’s point of view without critique. It allows people to resolve in unreal world.

Alexander Ter-Avakyan: We live in a cruel world of brands. We don’t care about the quality of goods we consume. We need just “love marks”.

In the future this brand love could become to something terrible and ridiculous. This photos show us this funny future worlds.
