20 Years of agldeas

This book is a celebration of the world of design and

its differences and the differences design can make

to the world. It showcases more than 2000 works

by nearly 400 creative leaders from around the globe

who have presented at agldeas International Design

Week throughout its 20 year history. The content

represents not only the diverse areas of the creative

industry but also designers from diverse nationalities.

A common connecting point for them all is the

contribution they have made to championing design

through their inspirational presentations at agldeas.

agldeas is one of the largest and most prestigious

creative events in the world, organised and presented

by the Design Foundation and held annually in

Melbourne Australia.

The Design Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation

founded by Ken Cato and run by a board of directors.

agldeas International Design Week is conducted

annually by the Design Foundation under the auspices

of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) and with

the support of its esteemed members. AGI is the global

design industry's most august body, representing

creative leaders who have been collectively responsible

for the identity design of most of the world's top

corporations and institutions as well as for countless

examples of globally known packaging, publications,

illustration and posters.

agldeas International Design Week presents a series

of events for designers who are seeking inspiration, for

young people interested in exploring a career in design,

and for companies looking to embrace design as an

economic driver.
