Our Theme for 2015 : Evolution

“Evolution is defined as the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. [This year’s creative] is a direct illustration of this definition. It begins with organic matter and evolves into a space suit, representing the modern day man at the peak of our current technology. Evolution is also defined as the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form. Technology, but more importantly, the creative process as a whole is a prime example of this as it parallels the evolution of human beings. FITC, year after year, shares this constant progress, growth and development on a, now, international scale. From humble beginnings as a simple Flash conference, FITC has evolved into an international destination. It features some of the most audacious, innovative speakers teaching and pushing the boundaries of technology and motivating others to evolve their creativity. Future, Innovation, Technology and Creativity; FITC spells evolution.”

–Will Reid, Designer, FITC Toronto 2015 creative.
