Creative Waves are a series of free online art & design projects for students, hosted by The Omnium Project (Australia) in collaboration with the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda).
The first Creative Waves project (03>04>05) took place over a 7-week period during March and April 2005, linking 61 art and design students and their teachers from member institutions of the Icograda Education Network (IEN) around the world. Using Omnium's latest online 'creative studio' interface, participants interacted in small design teams (where no team member is in the same geographic location) to challenge and respond to an unfolding and conceptual design brief.
The project explored the potential of online and collaborative visual communication through graphic design and photomedia studies. Participants formed strong creative and social bonds with partners in distant parts of the world, receiving regular feedback and support from established creative professionals, using the Internet as their sole communication tool.
Creative Waves are non-profit online projects run free for students. If you are involved in the media and interested in using your resources to help promote Creative Waves projects, please click on the button below to access a Media Kit or contact Rick Bennett.
