Forced Errors—Dare to Make Mistakes
Early this week, the Dutch ad man Erik Kessels of the KesselsKramer agency hosted a two-day workshop with us at Gestalten Space. He introduced his methods of facilitating errors to produce unusual yet powerful visuals imbued with messages that capture, provoke, and engage with the audience.
Participants learned how they could turn the dreaded word “mistake” into a positive strategical opportunity for communication.
Thank you everyone again who joined us for the opening last night. We hope you had a fantastic evening!
