The relationship between pop culture and design is essentially a feedback loop —from passion-fueled fan art to the professionally-designed graphics and aesthetics that define an era. In today’s world, pop culture moves at the speed of digital, bringing passionate and community-based fans along with it––fans who connect online and have high standards for content and ways in which they engage digitally.
In this session, let’s dive into the golden age of pop culture in a digital-first world, and discuss why there’s never been a better time for designers to speak to a new generation of consumers. But these are not regular consumers—they are fans. From designing interactive experiences for Harry Potter fanatics, to experiences for the tough-to-reach audience of Twitch gamers, we’ll discuss what’s most exciting about design and the future of the fandom in the new digital era.
