Design Road is a project of CDA (Creative Dialogue Association). It is a journey undertaken by International designers and creative professionals from various disciplines to exchange experiences with other creative people and innovators from different countries.
We anticipate that this unique creative encounter will sharpen talent and increase the skills needed to attain a higher level of creativity that is alive with inspiration. By providing a dialogue between international designers, we aim to enhance the design culture in the these countries, developing and encouraging them to occupy the role and position in their local culture and its direct role in envisioning a creative economy that is an integral feature of modern society.
These interactions would be carried out through workshops, lectures and exhibitions conducted by Spanish and International designers during their visit. Here, they would meet up with local designers and work on joint projects aimed at harnessing local constraints, exposing them to the latest experiments and modern design styles in fields chosen specifically to suit their needs and their design work necessities.

We think Graphic Design is, besides a job we love, something similar to write using images, so we give a big, huge importance to the message we have to transmit. Our work is all about thinking how to materialize it, how to express it aesthetically in a conscious, honest and interesting way for its future receiver.
