CMDonderdag In this new series of meetups (CMDonderdag) at CMD in Amsterdam we try to find an answer to a few simple sounding, yet complicated questions. In our new vision we state that we teach our students to become critical designers. But what exactly makes a critical designer a critical designer? And related, what is good design, and what is needed to turn a designer into a good designer. We will invite a diverse group of designers, makers, artists and other (digital) experts to try to find answers to these questions.Our first guest is no other than Peter Biľak. In an essay in one of his Works That Work magazines he once wrote that good design is when design benefits all parties involved. Which sound like a fantastic and clear definition of good design to kick off this series with.
