In search of cutting edge design to challenge conventional urban parking to be tougher and stylish.
Qashqai is a resilient urban vehicle with distinct style. It is capable to take on whatever the city throws at it – Qashqai is ‘Urbanproof’. We are looking for ideas around Nissan’s tough and stylish Qashqai. Designs may challenge any element of urban parking (underground, exterior, interior, multi-layer, ground level, shape, colors, material, smell, sound, ramps, signage, limits, etc.). Urban parking is in need of a renovation. Ideas must challenge current perceptions of urban parking and offer a tougher, sleeker, or even playful rendering of it.
The urban parking challenge is open to innovative designers with a bold and daring vision. Design is an innovative field with an ever-growing number of mediums to create this parking renovation: graphic, video, urban, industrial, lighting, motion and more.
Ideas may be delivered as videos, objects or illustrations.

What will changing innovation processes mean for design practitioners?
Wednesday 5 August, 6-7.30pm | Sensis Theatrette, Melbourne
Presented by AIMIA Victoria in partnership with Swinburne University.
Throughout the creativity sector we are seeing more and more calls to ‘the crowd’ for their design ideas. From Smith’s Crisps offering 1% of sales for new flavour ideas to Dorito’s offering $20,000 to the most innovative and crowd-pleasing advertisement, we are seeing clients seek solutions from the crowd rather than the designer.
This shift in the innovation process can be characterised as either user-driven (where the crowd is asked to respond) or open innovation (where clients are creating new partnerships with their ‘problem solvers’). Exciting as this may be for creatives everywhere, what does it mean for design practitioners? What are the implications of user driven and open innovation of interactive media and digital design practices in particular? This session brings together practitioners and academics to explore what the future of innovation will mean to design practice.
