Re: Design for Good

Do you think design can make a difference?

Yes! I believe design can definitely make a difference. Take for instance the picture I have added below. I'm quite sure many of us have a Facebook account and we see often many ads on people beating cancer, violence and all sorts of obstacles. Not to mention the countless children we see daily who are starving, in need of medical attention and who are orphans. I believe this message is very powerful because a like may spread the word but it seems to spread the word to gain likes rather than donating to the cause to prevent these types of situations from occurring. 

LIKING ISN'T HELPING CAMPAIGN 

Here's another example I came across

What do you know about designing for social change?

 I know a lot about social change but not as much about designing for social change. I've been apart of countless workshops and programs that spreads social change for you and young adults. Imagery is differently important to reach that audience as well as the audience that constantly has a negative perception on youth and young adults today. 

If you had unlimited time and resources, what kind of social campaign would you be interested in working on?

I would be interested in working on campaigns that focus on youth and young adult development. I've always had a passion for  helping my peers and other children and youth create a voice for themselves. Many people have negative perceptions on youth simply because of the media. But people fail to realize is that the media doesn't show all of the good that youth and young adults are capable of. I am also interested in working on campaigns that involve community outreach that decreases the increasing number of hungry people along with homelessness.
