Designing for Social Impact: Accelerating Change Through Creative Design
How can impact-driven design create social change?
With the rise of purpose-driven businesses, designers are applying their skills to craft campaigns to build a better world. When new ideas emerge they need to be communicated and designed to grow interest, support, and advocates for the movement. Because of this, design has never played such an integral role in change-making and movement building.
Our panelists will discuss how thoughtful design can support the foundations, nonprofits and brands that are tackling the world’s toughest challenges by communicating their message consciously and effectively.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to leverage design strategies to maximize your impact
- The importance of designing with people you’re supporting, and not “for” them
- How designing for social space differs from commercial work
- Ways to communicate long-term solutions that empower people at all levels of the campaign
- Career opportunities to use design as a force for good
