The DRG was established in 2005 with Bob being one of the founder members. Their mission is to bring together visual communications practitioners, tutors and theorists in order to consider issues of visual communications in contemporary Ireland. In other words to start up a conversation about the role and function of design and how we can go about understanding it.
The DRG hosted their first conference entitled “What Does it Take? Design, Research, Economy, Society.” Theyinvited speakers from the design industry in Ireland to give presentations and participate in round-table debates on contemporary issues facing the industry. Red&Grey Design both designed the events promotional material and presented at the event.
