Nominate a "Next Generation Voice" speaker for Design Currency 2010
With this in mind, the actual number of speakers over two days has been mind boggling to schedule and we are anticipating some stimulating and provocative interaction. We also have two Ted Talk speakers and incredible new people you will discover.
The selection of speakers was an exhaustive process, reaching out to our broader committee for names and sifting through about over a hundred names. Although we arrived at an amazing collection of high caliber professionals and received a resounding response to our invitations, we regretfully had to pass on many names of brilliant people.
We are confident that the audience will be blown away by our experts, but now we’d love to hear your suggestions for one more speaker!
Let us know a person you’d like to nominate who is under 30 and would do a great job at representing the ‘next generation voice’. We can’t promise anything, but we’ll do our best to bring them to our stage in Vancouver.
Should i do it here in the blog? ou by email?
Thanks!

Thanks for the question Carlos.

I am a Ph.D. student with many papers around the world, I am a design professor in a portuguese design faculty (www.iade.pt) since i was 22 years old, i am a graphic designer (www.carlosrosadesigners.com) and i recently won the Portuguese National Design Award for Graphic Designers under 35!

He was my design teacher, and he could be a good speaker in Design Currency 2010.

So i'd like to nominate him!
For examples of his speaking work check out his vision for a you-centric browser design and conversational computing.
Why do I think this is important? The world is moving more and more online and for this to happen, the browser has to adapt and change from what it was, to something that works for us. Aza is at the cutting edge of what Mozilla is doing and pushing development in these directions. Though these developments are currently limited to one browser (Firefox) but as new standards are written/adopted (and old ones dropped) designers need to know what is going to be possible online.
Could talk more about these issues and why they are important but going to keep this short for now.
Ohhh, one more thing. He has a big passion for beer! Gotta count for something!
A typographic artist, logo and type designer, lecturer and a typographic experimentalist.
OR
SETH LABENZ + ROY RUB - born in Columbus, NE and Tel Aviv, Israel, respectively. Met as classmates while studying at The Cooper Union in New York City, and in 2005 and opened Topos Graphics, fueled by the idea of making meaning containers through printed matter. Their work has been recognized by numerous books and periodicals, most notably Print Magazine's 2008 New Visual Artists Review (industry leaders selected 20 designers under the age of 30 seen to be rising talents with promise). They also spoke at AIGA NY's Cause/Effect conference in 2007.
His work is very innovative and different; very interesting typographic work experimenting with different media.
Enrolled in master level in faculty of architecture and urbanism at the University of São Paulo, his research is about the application os complex systems in the process of design.
He already showcased his work on International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo, on the museum of contemporary art (MAC USP), on the International Festival of Electronic Language (FILE), among others.
