DO24: High Fidelity is about celebrating design at its best, while acknowledging the beauty in its imperfections. We draw parallels with vinyl records – each with its own unique sound and character, much like designers and their work.
This year, we explore the essence of peak craft in digital design. We invite you to join us in understanding the balance between striving for perfection and valuing the learning process where mistakes are not just inevitable but invaluable.
