As the sole technology sponsor of Dubai Design Week, Huawei also hosted a series of educational workshops that explored how graphic design, infographics and motion graphics can be powerful storytelling tools in social, political and cultural contexts. The sessions also highlighted how critical these tools are for designers to position themselves in this digital era, where image is one of the most powerful tools of communication. The workshops were conducted by Naji El Mir, an award winning French Lebanese graphic designer and creative director, and co-founder of the Parisian studio Ne—Po.
