Re: Graphic Design Heroes & Citizenship in Design


I found this article, Design Ignites Change, at commarts.com and thought it fit into our discussion this week. A quote from the article says,

“As designer Victor Papanek said in Design for the Real World, ‘Design can and must become a way in which young people can participate in changing society.’ By instilling these ideals in the next generation of creative talent, we will help them to carry these ideals into their professional lives.”

I think it’s possible to get involved and make social change in your community as a designer. You might have to do it on your own time, and you might not get paid for it, but, if you’re passionate about the cause, this probably wouldn’t bother you. Right?
