Design Portfolio Review in Collaboration with TasmeemME
"Designers develop and hone their skills through feedback and critique. Sometimes designers need an objective external perspective that can spark an idea they haven't thought of."
- Dina Fawakhiri, Creative Director.
Earlier in January 2016, Amman Design Week launched its open call, encouraging designers to submit their portfolios and showcase their work. In the spirit of support and collaboration, we brought designers together, later in February, to give them a chance to share their ideas and exchange feedback on their proposals.
We collaborated with the region's leading design and art portfolio sharing platform, tasmeemME.com to bring together talents and creative portfolios.
"Designers should be their own biggest critics, and they usually are. When designers criticize their own work and feel they can do better, it pushes them further out of their comfort zone and allows them to explore new and unfamiliar design paths."
- Noor El-Fadl, tasmeemME.com Founder.
Some established designers stood up to discuss their portfolios, encouraging other aspiring ones to do so as well. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors at Adobe and Zinc, three winners were selected by the judging committee to receive valuable prizes.
