DDAAD: The Series

Behind The Screeens by Connor Parker

As part of Creative Lancashire’s response to the Covid-19 crisis , I was commissioned to co-write a new series of guides to help creatives in Lancashire and beyond make the transition to delivery online.

For almost a year, design consultant, Jonathan Ball and I have been working on a series of long form articles exploring remote delivery for creative businesses. We've interviewed some incredibly talented creatives across different disciplines from around the world, and here in Lancashire, to find how people in creative industries are using digital tools and experiences to de-risk their processes, products and services online.

We also commissioned four emerging new illustrators from across the North West to help bring these big concepts to life. Prepare to be dazzled by the talent of Daniel Nelson, Cait McEniff, Rosalie Wood and Connor Parker, who illustrated one article each.

Read an introduction to our Delivering Design At A Distance series and listen to the series trailer here before the first article goes live next week!

Huge thanks to Ed Matthews-Gentle at Creative Lancashire and all of our interviewees/contributors.
