This week sees the return of the excellent Birmingham Design Festival, liberally scattering wonderfulness across the second city for three days. There’s lots to choose from, but I’m rather excited about Friday’s talks on design for film and television, featuring Erica Dorn discussing her work on Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs and Aardman’s Gavin Strange on “graft, craft and being daft”. Plus Nick Asbury’s “the truth about what writers think of designers” should be good.
