A Night of Creative Exploration
On September 1st, EartH Hackney will transform into a hub of creativity and collaboration. The event promises to be an immersive experience, with talks, discussions, and activations that showcase the power of design, illustration, and motion. From magazine editors to brand designers, each speaker brings a distinct perspective and expertise, making for an engaging and thought-provoking evening.
Unraveling the Stories Behind the Brands
One of the highlights of the evening will be the presence of Foam Magazine's chief editor, Katy Hundertmark, and art director, Hamid Sallali. They will take us on a journey through the magazine's history, revealing how it has become an internationally acclaimed platform. Their talk will delve into the magazine's distinct visual direction and its unique use of archival photography as a living, creative medium. Personally, I find this particularly fascinating as it showcases how creativity can breathe new life into historical content.
Illustration Meets Fashion: A Match Made in Heaven
Joanna Blémont, an illustrator and V&A Illustration Awards nominee, will be sharing her incredible collaboration with Loewe. Her signature watercolor paintings were transformed into a stunning 2,000-frame film, a testament to the power of illustration in the fashion industry. Joanna will also delve into her 2024 zine, emphasizing the importance of playfulness and fun in the creative process. What many people don't realize is that this lighthearted approach often leads to some of the most innovative and memorable work.
Motion Design: The Body Language of Brands
Studio Kiln, an award-winning brand and motion design studio, will be joining us to discuss their impressive portfolio. Charlie Hocking and Nathan Smith will reveal the secrets behind their high-profile projects, including their work for ITV, Vinted, Netflix, and Bafta 2026. They'll explore how motion design can become the body language of a brand, infusing it with life and emotion. This raises an interesting question: how can we make brands more human through design?
Unique Creative Approaches: Mother Design
Lastly, we'll be treated to the insights of George Wu and Cecilia Serafini from Mother Design. As co-founder of The Poundshop and the Instagram page I Can't Afford This But Maybe She Can, George brings a unique perspective to the table.
