「DesignXcel」 Kickoff Event |《設計列陣》啟動禮
Thank you all for attending the Kickoff Event for the first edition of Joint-School Design Exhibition organised by the Design Council of Hong Kong (DCHK), the project is now officially named 「DesignXcel」.
DCHK aims to gather the excellent final-year projects (FYP) of the graduates from different design schools and showcase their infinite creativity at the large-scale exhibition, wherethe industrial and business sectors may be linked closer to the graduates through witnessing and sharing the fruits of local design training among different schools.
Being the first of its kind, 「DesignXcel」takes on a broader meaning to facilitate collaboration between design graduates and industry leaders. Fusing the new mindsets of the younger-generation designers with veteran entrepreneurs, the impact will definitely be much more than simply win-win.
Fact is when leading entrepreneurs join hands with design graduates, it’s gonna be a brand-new force. The power of this force lies in the valuable experiences, rich knowledge, whimsical ideas, a daring spirit for innovation within. On the one hand, the graduate-industry collaborationhelps realise and elevate creativity; on the other hand, the penetration of design thinking also enables the clients to supply new product-service-system, and in turn enhances the overall competitiveness of Hong Kong.
感謝各位出席由香港設計委員會主辦的首個香港聯校設計展覽啟動禮,項目已正式命名為《設計列陣》「DesignXcel」。
香港設計委員會希望可以集合各院校優秀的設計畢業作品,舉行大型展覽,讓各界一同見證設計系畢業生的無窮創意,分享各院校的培訓成果,並且加強畢業生與工商業界聯繫。
除了是首屆,今次「DesignXcel」亦別具義意,我們將促成設計畢業生和業界的合作,由年輕設計師的新思維結合業界豐富的實戰經驗,達到一加一大於二的協作效果。
因為當企業領袖遇上設計系畢業生,將會是一股全新的力量。這股龐大的力量包含了寶貴的經驗、豐富的知識、天馬行空的想像力、敢於創新的精神。設計畢業生和業界協作,一方面可以把創意昇華實現;另一方面,業界在設計思維的滲透下,也可以為客戶提供全新產品、服務和體驗,提升香港整體的競爭力,達到多贏的局面。
