Happy World Graphics Day!

Today is the 43rd anniversary of Icograda (International Council of Graphic Design Associations); so let's party in celebration of World Graphics Day! In the words of Icograda,

"World Graphics Day is an opportunity to recognise communication design, its role in the world and to celebrate Icograda's anniversary. It has been celebrated internationally since 1995.

On this occasion, designers reflect and hope that our international network can contribute to a greater understanding between people and can help to build bridges where divides and inequities exist."

Graphic Design is more important and influential than most people realise. You experience the fruits of graphic design everywhere you turn; just have a look around. Got a pen on your table? Someone designed it. Have a magazine lying around? Yep, a designer did that too. Newspapers, greetings cards, clothing catalogues, billboards, price tags, your water bill letterhead, your kid's colouring books, all were thought out and designed by a graphic designer. Here's to all the designers who make the world just a little prettier.

Some shameless self-promotion: The kick-off Coffee & Creativity session will be held next month, how exciting! Check out our Workshops for more info.
