Once a year, design professionals in Montreal meet with suppliers following a scripted tour that they can personalize on their mobile devices. This is a new way of drumming up business.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, Index-Design, a distribution platform created by designers in the design and architecture sector, has been holding its Circuit Index-Design tour in September. This day-long event, dedicated to exploring design, features activities and encounters that bring together designers, architects, and design fans.<\/p>\n

To promote the event, Index-Design called on the TP1<\/a> agency to define the tour\u2019s visual identity and web platform allowing visitors to explore the venues on the tour and to prepare a \u201cdesign itinerary\u201d across Montreal.<\/p>\n

This event for design professionals showcases designers\u2019 suppliers. In 2015, during the second edition of Circuit Index-Design<\/a>, they were invited to explore Ahuntsic and the Mile End, two neighbourhoods undergoing rapid transformation, and where many suppliers are established.<\/p>\n

Participants in the event, including, for example, Ciot, Sistemalux, Lambert & Fils, and Jamais Assez, enjoyed the opportunity to tour the premises of participating companies as well as special presentations and workshops.<\/p>\n

TP1 created all the products needed for the tour, even including the posters the various used to display their participation in this day-long open-house event.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe organized creative workshops in-house and carried out research,\u201d explains Patrick Williams, creative director at TP1. \u201cThen we created a mood board, that is, a collage of words and images, and we went to the client\u2019s offices to make a presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agency team always works very closely with its clients; accordingly, it met with Index-Design<\/a> at least a dozen times.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2014 marked their first ever edition of this open-house event, we provided constant support as they built up their program,\u201d adds Patrick Williams.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the site, participants were able to create their personal itinerary and see the locations of interest to them. They had to fill in a form indicating whether they were professionals or designers, wanted to see this or that material or were interested in one neighbourhood in particular, and so on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To create the event\u2019s visual identity, TP1 drew inspiration from the itinerary and developed a dotted-line design. Whenever the agency develops a project associated some aspect of culture, as in the case of Circuit Index-Design, it devotes more time to research and produces more in the way of deliverables.<\/p>\n
