A Look into 2020 Taiwan International Student Design Competition’s Promotional Campaign-Chung Yuan Christian University, March 13th

Thanks to the invitation from the Department of Commercial Design of Chung Yuan Christian University, 2020 Taiwan International Student Design Competition could have the chance to hold a promotional campaign on March 13th and introduced this year’s competition to around 30 professors and design students. Prof. Ming-Lung Yu, associate project director of 2020TISDC, not only focused on elaborating the theme of this year’s competition but also shared some tips with the students for brainstorming and how to make designs into practice.

The theme of 2020TISDC is “Action” which aims to encourage design students to take action and use design to improve our world. “Action” is also related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations in 2015 with the purpose of solving the potential problems that global citizens may face during the process of making the Earth more sustainable. Thus, design students are encouraged to look into the 17 issues and think about how design could solve the problems.

In the event, Prof. Yu also shared some of the winnng entries of 2019TISDC with the students, hoping to give them some food for thought. Prof. Yu also mentioned that this year there is a new award sponsored by TPCA Environment Foundation, called Environmental Sustainability Award. The jurors will select an entry from product design category with significance for environmental sustainability to be the winner. The winner could win NTD100,000, a trophy, and a certificate. This is a great opportunity that students should seize.

Thanks again for Prof. Tao-Pen Chang, chair of Department of Commercial Design, and Prof. Frank Huang’s assistance. 2020TISDC looks forward to the active participation and outstanding works of Chung Yuan Christian University’s students.
