Can Graphic Design Save the Planet?

No.

Can it help?

Maybe…

How Can Graphic Design Help Save the World, hosted by the Australian Graphic Design Association, featured leading design thinkers including Jacqueline Gothe, Andy Polaine, David Berman and Rick Poynor to share ideas about whether we as graphic/designers can be part of a world-saving solution.

Republic of Everyone 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.
