The pledge is a set of working principles that evolved into an initiative to construct a foundation for enacting long-term, positive changes in and around how the learning experiences that constitute design education are planned, operated and assessed. Specifically, these involve a commitment to demonstrating accountability for the effects of design decision-making to society, graphic designers, design educators, audiences, user groups, student bodies, given classroom populations, and individual students.

Meme culture has become a ubiquitous presence in online social communication. Its pursuit of eye-catching, novel, and humorous effects resonates with the expressive and playful psychology of the younger generation (Gen Z). By compensating for the weaknesses of dry text communication and inaccurate expression of attitudes, memes effectively improve communication efficiency and have spread widely.

Each class is centered around the various visual cultures, varied Arab identities, and design histories from the region, with emphasis placed on providing a platform for the voices of women, who are often unheard. This series revisits, rewrites, and actively archives past and contemporary design practices within the SWANA region to ensure future generations have access to their design histories. The course highlights the diversity of our communities and amplifies the voices that are most vulnerable in the fight for liberation, challenging dominant narratives that are often written about us and not by us.

Turns out we want more in-the-flesh—and more meaningful—experiences after all. And those start with privileging the local, collaboration, purpose, and impact over form, novelty, cleverness, social media currency, and the archaic single genius myth.

Last year we talked with Creative Directors, CMOs, designers, and studio owners to better understand their approach and process culminating in top design work of 2020. Get a sneak peek of what the AIGA Design + Business Conference is all about below. Her creative work encourages audiences to question their own ways of consuming design. Clients include the Baltimore Museum of Art, Johns Hopkins University, Decentering Whiteness working group, and Harvard University. In this panel discussion, we'll hear from two individuals who are pushing the boundaries of what it means to invest in the mentorship of young creatives of color – those from backgrounds often overlooked by studios throughout the industry.
Before we even turn to our computers, it's crucial to go back to basics and work on techniques that can help us solve design problems to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. We can make a real difference by simplifying complex information and making it easier for people to understand. While it may seem like we don't have time for this step, taking the time to strengthen our concepts in the beginning, will ultimately save us time in the long run.

“The View from Here” is turned inwards, so participants can explore their individual creative processes and workflows from the vantage point of the present moment. The process — the embodiment of creativity and structure — is the goal in this stress- and judgment-free space where the concept of a “final design” becomes meaningless. Combining meditation and other mindfulness practices with artmaking and visual problem solving allows participants to strengthen their awareness of their own individual creative process and its requirements. In this workshop, Louise Sandhaus and Brockett Horne from The People’s Graphic Design Archive share ideas on how to collect fascinating and unrecognized cultural material from affinity communities.
The industry has emphasized the communication of clear visual information for the audience. It is particularly challenging to add inclusive and accessible design methods for visual communication. Inclusive visual design tools or methods were overlooked in design education. It is necessary to ensure the visual material can be understood and used by a wide audience via more than one sensory experience. The use of tactile experience on top of visual language enables engaging communication and even makes it accessible for people with vision issues. Tangible Graphic Design is a multidisciplinary design approach to bring tactile experience in visual communication design with material and fabrication.
We invite industry professionals, educators, and graduate students to submit proposals that connect with this theme.Proposals are due May 15, 2024.
