Current is Emily Carr University’s design research
journal: an annual multi platform publication that seeks
to showcase the richness and texture of creative practice
and research within our institution. A project of the
Faculty of Design + Dynamic Media, Current is written,
edited, designed, illustrated, and photographed by a
collective of faculty, students, staff, and research
assistants.
Current’s content features interviews, case studies,
critical essays, reviews and photo documentation, where
researchers are challenged to represent their processes
as iterative cycles of research and to skillfully navigate
information-led/practice-led methodologies. It functions
as a site for design researchers, design academics,
students, professional designers, entrepreneurs, and the
business community to reflect on contemporary design
thinking—products and processes.
