Current is a multi-platform design journal that exists to showcase creative, practice-based and applied research. It functions as a site for design researchers, design academics, students, professional designers, entrepreneurs, and the business community to reflect on contemporary design thinking—products and processes. Through a variety of forms and formats—interviews, case-studies, critical essays, reviews and photo documentation, we challenge researchers to represent their processes as iterative cycles of research and to skillfully navigate information-led/practice-led methodologies. Current is continually evolving exposition on the people and processes involved in design research. It is a platform for the cross-disciplinary, cross-sector professional communities of people with educational and professional interests in the currency of design thinking.
This publication is designed and produced as part of a Design studio course offered in the Spring semester at Emily Carr University. Under the guidance of faculty, a student-led design and editorial team is given the exciting opportunity to interpret and showcase ECUAD’s design research by students and faculty members from the past year from concept to production.
