Co—nnection Platform

Co—nnection – Art Direction, Entrepreneurship, and Graphic Design by Oliver Ward and Fraser Callaway.

This creative project by Oliver Ward and Fraser Callaway, two Wellington, New Zealand based multidisciplinary graphic designers has been awarded with the Red Dot Award 2014.

Students facing different difficulties while trying to get their first job in the creative industries. The most common problem is: you can’t get a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job. The Co-nnection project aims to provide help by linking students and design studios. The platform enables contextualised learning and authentic work experiences. A nice additional feature is the folded, portable cardboard desk. It can easily be set up anywhere and gives students the opportunity to have a desk in the heart of an agency.
