Introduction to Design Support Business Directions and Trends Using Digital Fields such as Metaverse and NFT

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Design Foundation announced on the 10th that it will hold a briefing session on the digital design support project at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) on the 14th.

This briefing session is a preliminary event for the newly established digital design field this year, related to the recruitment of young designers for the Seoul Design Consultant project, which has been continuously conducted since the foundation's establishment. The Seoul Design Consultant project is a program where design experts and young designers provide consulting on regional and social issues from a design solution perspective. This year, the digital design field has been newly established, and the foundation plans to expand the recruitment of young designers and design experts. Selected young designers will participate in the development of various NFT products utilizing DDP.

The main contents of the briefing session include △ Introduction to the mid- to long-term digital design support project △ Explanation of Team Korea Designer Collaboration NFT and DDP NFT Collecting project △ Introduction to NFT design and art industry trends △ Guidance on NFT copyright and legal matters.

The briefing session will be held offline and is free of charge. Those wishing to participate can make a reservation in advance through the DDP website by the 12th. To ensure a comfortable and safe briefing session, seat arrangements will be assigned by lottery to applicants who made advance reservations. If seats are insufficient, standing participation on-site registration is also possible.

Lee Kyung-don, CEO of the Seoul Design Foundation, said, “This briefing session was held to encourage active participation of designers in the project and to strengthen communication,” adding, “In the NFT market where the bubble has burst and the wheat is beginning to be separated from the chaff, we aim to make this a sound public digital design platform project that encourages designers to participate in genuine design NFT works with rarity and intrinsic value.”

In March, the foundation held a 2022 project meeting by inviting heads of Korea Design Federation and Korea Spatial Design Federation, leading domestic design organizations, and announced plans to upgrade DDP into a digital design platform in line with the changing social environment.
