Can Graphic Design Save the Planet?
No.
Can it help?
Maybe…
How Can Graphic Design Help Save the World (http://www.designabetterworld.com.au/), hosted by the Australian Graphic Design Association (http://www.agda.com.au/), featured leading design thinkers including Jacqueline Gothe (http://www.designabetterworld.com.au/speakers.html#jaq), Andy Polaine (http://www.designabetterworld.com.au/speakers.html#andy), David Berman (http://www.designabetterworld.com.au/speakers.html#davidb) and Rick Poynor (http://www.designabetterworld.com.au/speakers.html#rick) to share ideas about whether we as graphic/designers can be part of a world-saving solution.
Republic of Everyone (http://www.republicofeveryone.com/) went along to have a listen and was inspired to hear some incredibly insightful thinking on the topic of whether graphic design actually can save the world. Here’s a bit of what we heard. This feature is the first of four features we will be producing, covering the the speakers insights.
