Five things that you’ll learn at
OFFF Barcelona 2020

HOW TO CONQUER YOUR FEARS
Do you secretly wish that you could
leave your job and strike out on your
own? Calvin Sprague, an American
graphic designer and illustrator living in
The Netherlands, who’s known for his
colourful, retro and playful styles, wants
to help you make that leap. In his talk, Do
What Terrifies You, he’ll inspire you to
conquer your fears and go freelance.

HOW TO BE A ‘GENER AL SPECIALIST’
Based in California, Charles Bergquist
works in a variety of visual media,
ranging from directing and shooting
vivid music video and commercial
campaigns, to working on award-winning
documentaries. In his talk, he’ll showcase
his path to being a ‘general specialist’ and
explain how documentary filmmaking
crosses into print design, as well as
commercial film-making work spaces.

HOW TO DESIGN YOUR
OWN CAREER
Minneapolis designer Meg Lewis wants to
make the world a happier place. And in her
fun and unconventional talk, she’ll discuss
the benefits of treating your career like a
design project; leveraging your differences
to position yourself as a unique individual.
She’ll explain how you can capitalise on
what makes you unique, to grow your
business, create a fulfilling life and make
more money.

HOW TO COLLABORATE
WITH OTHERS
Musketon is a visual artist based in
Belgium who, two years ago, met and
befriended three other artists. He quickly
noticed that if you surround yourself with
people who share the same goal, mindset
and character, you evolve into a better
artist and can take on bigger projects. In
his talk Teamwork For Dummies, he tells
their story.

HOW TO TELL STORIES
WITH MOTION
Nando Costa, a Brazilian designer who’s
based in Seattle, has spent 20 years
working with motion graphics, and the
past six as a design leader at Microsoft.
In his talk he’ll share how motion graphics
has become a pivotal tool for shaping
perspective internally and telling powerful
stories externally.
