CURRENT is a multi-platform design research journal that exists to showcase creative, practice-based and applied research. It functions as a site for design researchers, design academics, students, professional designers, entrepreneurs, and the business community to reflect on contemporary design thinking—products and processes. CURRENT is designed and published annually by students at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Issue 06 is structured around the theme of Prospects, Practices and Provocations and is designed to encourage the authors and readers to think about the design practice in terms of process, design wisdom and reflection. This issue won the following awards: SPDU Awards for the design of the Anonymity & Authenticity article as a Merit Winner, Applied Arts Magazine Student Awards, Salazar Awards Honourable Mention.
