IED calls young creatives to develop ideas and projects describing My Reuse Design: please apply the reuse concept to the area of studies that you prefer, Fashion, Design, Visual Communication, Management.
“Reuse” means using an item more than once, for the same function, or for a second life, when it is used for a different purpose. By reusing, we can create new shapes from old materials. Reuse helps save time, money, energy, and resources, it can offer quality products to people and organizations with limited means, it can generate jobs and business activity that contribute to the economy. Reuse is a very important part of a sustainable behavior. Reusing is different from recycling, which consists in processing used materials for the production of new objects.
Reuse can consist of different actions: remanufacturing (reconstruct the object), regiving/regifting (taking a gift and giving it to someone else), repurposing (changing the function of an object), and nearly everything we buy and consume can be reused: old metal cans, clothes, textiles, plastic bags, bicycle tires, packaging tools are just a few examples of objects that can generate creative reuse.
The projects and images selected will be published on the site www.creativediary.net and can receive ratings, comments and still be sponsored by internet users through their facebook newsfeed.
Entries may be sent by e-mail. A jury of experts will award scholarships to best works. The deadline for submitting projects is the 20th of September 2011.
