In an environment where productivity often shapes creative practice, Before Making creates space for graphic designers to pause and reflect together. Using open-ended questions and action-based wildcards, the card deck prompts conversations that can take place anywhere. Through themes such as pressure, systems, intuition, rituals, slowness and culture, Before Making encourages participants to reconsider the habits, expectations and structures that influence how we make as designers. Alongside the deck, Before Making: Conversations gathers transcripts from these discussions, capturing moments of reflection and exchange. Sit, read, and continue the conversation.
