Hold Your Attention

Hold Your Attention will explore how design captures and inspires what's next. In our current society, individuals are overwhelmed with tremendous amounts of displays and information in their busy lives, and across time, our minds have been trained to have shorter attention spans due to overconsumption. Additionally, technology and applications use this to their advantage to maintain users time with quick impact posts or videos for a profit. However, this has led the public to lose interest very quickly in concepts and move to the next exciting idea.

‍

This project not only tackles and amplifies a current and modern concept, but also provides information that affects the future of the design world. Attendees will leave each seminar, thinking about both the designs and content for years to come, forming a positive creative process when they are either creating or absorbing succeeding features.

‍

Hold Your Attention is a hybrid approach; this concept will be hitting the public in the formation of speech, presentation, and the tour, “Graffiti Gossip.” Reflective of past, current, and futuristic designs, it is for all ages, curated for designers, and encourages young adults and the public to become more aware.
