More recently, historians across the design disciplines have emphasized the need for empirical research, cultural contextualization, and diverse global narratives. The time is ripe for historians of visual communication design to contribute to this work. Special issue CFP: This special issue of Visible Language seeks to establish design history as an ongoing and integral part of the journals larger initiative toward evidence-based inquiry in visual communication design. Articles accepted for publication in this issue will document and interrogate historical evidence relative to the past practices, artifacts, and uses of visual communication design. Of particular interest are articles addressing under-represented research areas: women designers, designers of color, design outside of western Europe and the United States, and design outside of the Modernist tradition. Areas of inquiry might include but are not limited to: Designers who have been written out of the dominant historical narrative Designers, practices, and artifacts from locations outside North America and western Europe Anonymous or ubiquitous design artifacts and their place in the historical narrative Collaborative design practices and their historical outcomes or cultural impact Vernacular or local design traditions functioning alongside or in opposition to Modernism Historical instances of overlap between craft or trade traditions and what we now call design Historical instances of overlap between constructing a history of design and practicing design Quantitative studies seeking to document patterns of use or impact New critical approaches to familiar themes and subjects Timeline: May 15 2018 full papers due to editors May 30 2018 results of peer review to authors June 15 2017 requested revisions due to editors August 2018 publication of special issue Contact: Guidelines for preparing a submission can be found at http://visiblelanguagejournal.com/submission Further questions and/or submissions to the special issue should be directed to: Dori Griffin Assistant Professor Ohio University School of Art + Design [log in to unmask] EVA London Conference 2018 Call for proposals EVA London Conference 2018 Submission of proposals(in abstract form) is now open.

Central London venue in Covent Garden BCS, 1st Floor, 5 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7HA. www.eva-london.org Journal of Textile Design Research and Practice The editors of the Journal of Textile Design Research and Practice would like to extend the recent themed call for papers to the new deadline of 28th February 2018 (see http://tinyurl.com/y8f4w4ck). The Call Themes are: 1. Utilising Archives and Collections for Textile Education, Industry and Practice 2. Textiles and Co-creation 3. 'Bio' Textiles Further detail is given below and is also available from the Journal of Textile Design Research and Practice websitehttp://tinyurl.com/y8f4w4ck. Submissions can take one of the following forms and the instructions for authors page contains advice for authors. Academic research papers (approximately 5,000 8,000) words; Practitioner interviews or studies (approximately 6,000) words; Position papers and reports of research currently in progress (approximately 3,000 words); Book and exhibition reviews (approximately 500 2,000 words) If you would like to discuss please contact Faith Kane - [log in to unmask] Call Themes 1. UtilizingArchives and CollectionsforTextile Education, Industry and Practice Archives and collections exist as repositories of the past, containing artifacts and materials awaiting reactivation in order to discover new meaning. Textile designers, artists, researchers, historians and educators often use historical sources for reference and inspiration. Increasingly, design company archives are used to promote brand heritage and for design reproduction and adaptation. This call invites submissions that address the theme of archive and collection utilization, specific focal points are not limited to, but could include the following: - Learning from history and tradition - Interpretation, appropriation, adaption and innovation - Methodologies and creative approaches - Archives and collections as pedagogy - Collaborations with the heritage, museum and library sectors - Engaging social groups and communities, local authorities and the public - Valuing history to inform future generations - Descriptions of collections and user-centered projects - Copyright and intellectual property 2. Textiles and Co-creation Digital platforms for the co-creation of textiles are providing opportunities for the consumer to become the designer. NIKEiD offering customised sportswear, shoes and backpacks was launched in 2012. Knit For You, an Adidas 2017 pop-up shop in Berlin, is researching and testing the concept of in-store production of custom knitted garments within four hours. Digital print bureaux such as Contrado and Spoonflower offer a range of fabric printing services for both interior and fashion applications including garment make-up, wallpaper and giftwrap. Platforms offer tuition in how to achieve colour matching and repeat designs. These emerging co-creation technologies have the potential to disrupt traditional textile design and manufacturing industries. This call welcomes submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following: - Emerging models of co-creation that involve textiles and digital platforms. Who are the stakeholders? What are the costing models? What technologies are required? What is the consumer interface? Who are the beneficiaries? - The barriers and enablers to adoption by consumers, retailers and textile manufacturing industries. - The changing role of the textile designer. Who owns the design process? Will co-creation platforms facilitate the craft ofmaking-at-home? - The sustainability effects of co-creation models. Will co-creation models result in reduced over-stocking or waste? Will consumer-led design lead to more sustainable and ethical supply chain practices? - Co-creation as entertainment. - Co-creation platforms as consumer research. - Co-creation and social enterprise. 3. Bio Textiles Continued movement towards circular and ethical design practices in textiles (and associated disciplines and industries) has led to the emergence of (or reconnection with) what might be termed bio textile practices. These practices range from re-conceptualizing the role of natural fibres, the conception and development of new biological and agricultural processes that result in alternative textiles/materials, the use of natural alternatives to harmful chemicals in textile coloration and finishing, to engagement with biodegradable and bio-based fibres and finishes. All draw on an interdisciplinary knowledge base and are often realized in design through hands-on engagement with materials and processes that are often central to textile design practice. In relation to this theme, this call welcomes papers that address, but are not limited to, the following focal points: - Textile practices incorporating natural dyes - DIY approaches to creating bioplastics, bio textiles and composite materials - Growing your own textiles - Design concepts around biodegradable textiles - Coloration and finishing - Using biological processes for textile design purposes - New spaces for textile fabrication - Bio textiles/materials and digital fabrication processes - Sustainability benefits of bio materials (environmental, social, economic, cultural) - Well-being benefits of bio textiles/materials - Biomimicry http://tinyurl.com/y8f4w4ck 20-22 June 2018 - Liquidscapes: tales and tellings of watery worlds and fluid states. This is a REMINDER (Deadline for submissions November 20) art.earth and our academic partners Schumacher College and the Sustainable Earth Institute (Plymouth University) invite proposals to an international forum: Liquidscapes: tales and tellings of watery worlds and fluid states. A three-day event bringing together creative thinkers and doers to explore physically and figuratively our watery worlds and the fluid condition. Keynote speakers include writer Tristan Gooley (How to Read Water), artist Amy Sharrocks and astronomer Prof. Paul Murdin OBE. The event takes place June 20-22, 2018 at Dartington Hall, Devon UK. The deadline for submissions is November 20 2017 (22.00 GMT). All proposals must be submitted online at http://liquidscapes.info/proposal-form/ We are particularly interested in submissions whose manner of presentation in some way directly performs the perspective that they wish to offer: in what senses may we approach, in our behaviours, our speech, and our work, the notion of voicing water? liquidscapes.info 7-9 June 2018 - AIGA DEC Conference The Call for Participation for the next AIGA DEC Conference, [MAKE], is now available. All the details about the call and how you can submit a proposal can be found on the conference website at: decconference.aiga.org [MAKE] will take place at the Herron School of Art and Design, IUPUI<http://herron.iupui.edu/> in Indianapolis from 7-9 June 2018. The conference organizers seek to establish a space for our design community to explore the full complexity of making and its applications within todays contexts. The discussion will be divided into four themes: Make [community], Make [curriculum], Make [form], and Make [experience]. Details about each of these themes can be found in the call. From the call: For many designers, being labeled a maker may be perceived as a slight. However, we know that designers sit at a unique intersection of the arts and social sciences where making serves as a distinct asset to our process. Whether organizing a community, planning new healthcare services, building a website, or speculating on the future, designers have an inherent drive to make as a way to facilitate solutions. This discussion is especially relevant as the AIGA Designer 2025 Trends are disseminated through our community. The role of making inside many of these trends challenges our traditional notions of the activity and ask us to rethink the role of the designer in an evolving paradigm. Authors are encouraged to frame their work in context with the Designer 2025 Trends.

Though recent and in continuous evolution, it is now consolidated enough to be assessed and reviewed in terms of effectiveness and impact on economy and society: how far has the logic of services (and of Service Design culture) influenced the different domains of innovation and value creation? How much has this been truly integrated into the innovation process of private and public sectors? How effectively has this been understood, evaluated and discussed? How far have digital technologies and media been influencing service design and delivery? Initially, Service Design mainly concentrated on the paradigm shift from designing the materiality of objects to focusing on immaterial experiences, interfaces, interactions, and strategies. Thus, for some decades attention has been paid to the changing role and competencies of the designer, and to the establishment of Service Design as a discipline in its own right, despite its multi-disciplinary approach which includes management, ethnography, sociology, and organizational studies, to mention but a few. Now it is time to validate and review the models, processes and practices developed and used in the service design ecosystem, from its academic community to practitioners, companies and organizations at large. The overarching scope of the conference is to reflect on the evolution and impact that this discipline and practice has made in different fields and sectors. To do this, ServDes2018 will create an opportunity firstly for sharing thoughts and experiences among scholars, practitioners and organisations, and secondly, to discuss service design in terms of proof of concept, and the extent to which public and private organizations are ready to embed service design into their processes. The main areas of discussion for the conference will be the following, organised into tracks: 1. Learning and practicing 2. Sharing and collaborating 3. Measuring and evaluating 4. Governing and evidencing 5. Producing, distributing and organising 6. Experiencing and shaping 7. Community and relationship building 8.

Accelerating rates of consumption and discard, however, continue to undermine many of these larger efforts. It is clear that we need new systems-based approaches to reduce rising levels of resource consumption and energy use in order to implement a more equitable and environmentally sustainable society and economy. Building upon the experience of the first conference,Unmaking Waste: Transforming Production and Consumption in Time and Place (May 2015), Unmaking Waste 2018 will address the following themes from a similarly multidisciplinary perspective: 1. Eco-Design and Development: Designing and managing objects, buildings, precincts and systems to reduce resource and energy use, and increase environmental and human wellbeing. 2. Sustainable Consumption: Transforming consumption and service provision, including marketing, to better suit a resource-constrained, environmentally challenged world. 3. Waste Minimization: Reducing waste and pollution at all scales, in all domains and activities, and transforming waste and pollution into states of greater value for reuse. 4. Circular Economy: Optimizing social, material and economic relations to further the goals of the Circular Economy, including product and environment life-extension, reuse and repair. Call for Abstracts (Deadline: December 15, 2017) Abstracts should be no more than 300 words, and address the purpose, methods, and implications of the work to be presented. They should include a proposed title, and nominate one or more of the above themes that seem most relevant to the subject. All abstracts, conference presentations and full papers must be in English. Abstracts must be received no later than 5pm, December 15, 2017. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed and all submissions will receive a written response with feedback from the Conference Organising Committee by February 2nd, 2018. The authors of successful abstracts will then be invited to submit their full papers for review by May 4th, 2018. Full papers will be double-blind peer reviewed, and returned to their authors for revision before June 8th, 2018. Papers that are accepted, or accepted pending revision, will have until July 30th 2018, for completion. The full accepted, corrected papers will be published online in time for the conference.
