DESIGNxRI Clambake: Creative Conversations

"How Graphic Design and Illustration Generate Community Engagement"
What role can graphic design play in shaping the way people experience public space? This edition of Clambake: Creative Conversations explores how graphic design, illustration, and visual storytelling can invite curiosity, participation, and connection. The conversation will feature two designers whose projects have used the park as both inspiration and canvas for engaging the public through visual communication.
Through their work, we’ll examine different approaches to creating site-responsive graphics and imagery and discuss how design can transform everyday spaces into opportunities for discovery, interaction, and community building. From wayfinding and placemaking to illustration and public engagement, the conversation will explore how designers respond to place, audience, and context.
