Apply now for the DesignUp X The Hard Copy X PhonePe scholarships and get an all expenses paid opportunity to be at DesignUp.
You could be a student or a beginner, an experienced pro working in a new-age publication or someone who wants to transform a side-project into something more serious and long-lasting. You don’t need to be a designer, but understanding design helps!
For the duration of the conference you will tell the DesignUp 2018 Conference story — the people, the talks, tracks, the workshops — in your own unique voice.
Whether it’s funny, serious, thoughtful, quirky, sharply insightful, illustrated, narrated, taped. A series of linked ‘publications’ is what we are expecting. These could be live, via some social media platform, or on your own site. DesignUp and The Hard Copy site and their various social media channels will also be available.
We’re always on the lookout for writers who ‘get’ design so who knows, this could be the start of a beautiful relationship!
Founded in 2017 by Pawan Rochwani and Kshitija Sarda, both creators themselves, Platform for Artists is a platform to discover and connect with the creator community. While the ‘discovery’ part of the platform takes a fee from brands and businesses to connect them to creators, the community vertical uses these funds to organise exhibitions, meetups, photowalks, webinars and offline events. Currently Platform for Artists is associated with more than 20,000 artists and has hosted more than 350 events in more than 15 cities.
