The IMDES 2025 Student Artwork Catalogue showcases creative explorations by emerging designers responding to the theme “Creating Connection: Intelligent Design for a Sustainable Future.” Through visual communication, interactive media, digital innovation, and interdisciplinary design, these works reflect students’ engagement with contemporary social, cultural, technological, and environmental challenges. More than creative outcomes, the projects represent critical inquiry, experimentation, and meaningful problem-solving. Together, they demonstrate the potential of design to foster connection, inspire innovation, and contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive future.

The IMDES 2025 is a exhibition emphasizes the importance of innovative, thoughtful design solutions that bridge gaps and build connections between people, communities, and the environment to create a more sustainable future. We aim to be a catalyst for change, inspiring participants to develop and implement design solutions that contribute to a more sustainable and connected world.

Creating Connection: Intelligent Design for a Sustainable Future

The Innovation in Media and Visual Design (IMDES) exhibition discuss the relationship between media, people, design, and technology as well as innovation, creation, and sustainability concepts resulting from those interactions. The event’s interdisciplinary approach draws on design, information, social science, and the humanities, offering/allowing not only to think/design what today’s design makes possible but also to invent new things on media and society can do using emergent technology. This exhibition is a sphere for those intellectuals who examine the conceptual design, praxis, and research discourse on the exploration of academic merits for the design field and others. The exhibition will welcome theories, methods, and implementations of innovation in media and visual design.
