Themes to explore

  • Integration of AI in Creative Processes

    How have you incorporated AI into traditional creative workflows? Showcase how AI has enhanced your design process, improved efficiency, or unlocked new creative possibilities. We’re looking for innovative examples highlighting the symbiosis between human creativity and machine intelligence.

  • Global User-Centred Design

    Designing for a global audience comes with unique challenges. Share your strategies for creating design solutions that are universally appealing, culturally sensitive, and effective across diverse demographics. This is your chance to demonstrate how your work resonates with people worldwide.

  • Designing for Web3

    As the world moves towards decentralised platforms, designing for Web3 presents unique challenges. Submit case studies that tackle these challenges head-on, whether they relate to creating intuitive interfaces for blockchain applications or ensuring user trust and security in decentralised environments.

  • Sustainability in Design

    Innovation doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment. Show us how you’ve integrated sustainability into your design process through materials, energy efficiency, or life cycle considerations. We’re interested in work that solves design problems and considers the planet.

  • Empathy and Inclusion in Design

    Empathy is at the heart of user-focused design. How have you used empathy to create accessible and inclusive design solutions? Share your approaches to ensuring that your work is usable and welcoming for diverse populations, including those with disabilities or from different cultural backgrounds.

  • The Future of Interaction Design
