After two extremely successful years, Design Expo Raleigh will expand to a second location (Charlotte, NC) in 2009 and will simply be known as Design Expo or DXR.
The theme for DXR’09 is “Designing Change.”
The purpose of DXR ‘09 is to present great design to the public and to give designers, both professionals and students, a forum to display and discuss their work. A unique showcase of applied arts coming together as a whole, Design Expo promotes broader awareness of many different design disciplines and creates an opportunity for local designers to network with each other, students, and the public. Among the diverse applied arts to be represented at DXR ‘09 are Animation, Architecture, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, and Textile/Fashion Design.
The schedule for this year’s event will be:
Raleigh: May 1-9 at Flanders Art Gallery
Charlotte: August 20-22 at the Mint Museum of Craft and Design
DXR’09 depends on innovators like you to make it a success. Come be a part of this great celebration and show what you have created!

Different way for us to tell it September 12, 2008
Posted by Lee Cherry in 1.Tags: animation, craven arts council, documentary, new bern, short film
add a comment
With a collective history bordering on 300 years, New Bern has its share of lively and animated raconteurs. On Friday (Sept. 12th, 2008), just how animated those storytellers are will be on public display and projected for viewing on the side of a downtown building.
“New Bern Stories,” the culmination of an extensive public art video, premieres that day following ArtWalk on the corner of Middle and Broad streets. Best screening is from New Bern Sculpture Park. Take a lawn chair. Also take your imagination. This is a slice of New Bern history as it’s never been cut before.
“What we said was, let’s do something that’s really a wow,” said Mitch Lewis, a sculptor, a member of Craven Arts Council and principal grant writer for the project.
So they did.
With funding from N.C. Arts Council and local sources, Lewis and other members of the council were able to buy and beg the technical expertise of N.C. State professor Patrick Fitzgerald and the team he directs in the advanced media lab of the school’s College of Design.
The result: a 20-minute video that turns New Bern residents into puppet figures and places them in animated environments to illustrate the real stories they tell.
“It took 20 people working for three months to complete it,” Fitzgerald said.
It also took dozens of interviews and stories ranging from New Bern National Cemetery to James City. (more…)
Design Camp 2008 July 1, 2008

The Advanced Media Lab is hosting a series of Animation Workshops in conjunction with Design Camp and the Contemporary Art Museum. This is the first time that a digital animation component will be introduced into the Design Camp disciplines and we hope that it will be a sure hit as an additional feature in the future.
We had a fantastic time trashing the lab and creating some exciting stop motion animations as well as a quick stop action short film. We featured non-stop sessions of storyboards and concept sketches, fruit-loop fights, mock-ups and enthusiastic budding directors. With a lot of help from the event organizers, student TAs, camp counselors and featured returning faculty member Ryan DeWitt we were able to do a 5-day workshop and showcase 80 student animations and 5 short film animations on the final Saturday Design Camp Reception. A big thanks goes out to Nicole Welch and Pablo del Valle for helping us organize the events, keeping us on track and stocking us up with supplies!
Not to be outdone, Santiago Piedrafita – Chair of the Department of Graphic Design at NC State University College of Design introduced future design students to the art of Typography and projected light. Emphasis was placed on the process of exploring a visual composition in studies of scale, layering, opposition and tension using graphic pattern, icons and typography. After projecting it at a large scale it allowed students an opportunity to see how layering, juxtaposition and scale change the graphic form and meaning.
The next session for Design Camp is the day camp series starting July 7th and then a final round of overnight Design Campers during the week of July 20th. We are finalizing the gallery and tutorial mini-website so check it out later this month at 3by3.wordpress.com
