Panel discussion:

Designing The Weird: Collaborative Design In Props, Artefacts, And Special Edition Books. Bristol/Kent Room, Omni 3rd Floor 

Props, books, sets, game components and specialized display pieces exist not only as tools or products, but as objects of art that represent the aesthetic of their creative team. These labors of love and vision frequently exceed the demands of their practical use and require input from multiple people with different perspectives and skillsets. Panelists discuss their work and creative process, and the way in which collaborative design produces a whole greater than the sum of the efforts of individual creatives. Panelists:(Moderator), Ivan Carić, Shanna Germain, Andrew Leman, Liv Rainey-Smith, Tonnvane Wiswell, Nate Pedersen.
