CREATIVE CITIES Project on ABOUT DESIGN fairs

25.03.2011

ABOUT DESIGN Fair was addressed to both designers and architects, as well as investors, companies, developers and individual customers. The scope of exhibitors included manufacturers of modern furniture, accessories, ceramics, fabrics, glass, lamps, kitchens, floors and marble. The fair has created a space where creative business and creative design met. It was also a platform for contacts and exchange between design artists and manufacturers, architects and investors, designers and developers.

The fair hosted a special area for young designers. YOUNG DESIGN was a place where young artists, students and graduates of design faculties had a chance to present their visions and ideas.

Gdansk Entrepreneurship Foundation organized two workshops in the frame of Creative Cities project: "Techniques of digital printing" and "Creating commercial offers by creative industry representatives".

The first workshop was destined for people who just has started to prepare their project for printing. Participants had a chance to learn about currently applied printing methods, color management and history of digital printing.
The second workshops' subject was the transfer of practical knowledge about creating professional commercial offers by creative industries. Participants had great opportunity to learn how to arouse interest of future clients and the form of the offer (text, configuration).

We also promoted Creative Cities on the stand, specially dedicated to the project, so many people involved with creative industries could receive details about our cluster activity.

According to the organizers - International Gdansk Fair, ABOUT DESIGN was intended to reach the most demanding customers. The development of property market, increasing competitiveness in business and refined tastes of individual customers create a constantly growing demand for original design.
