Design Can Change is a website based initiative that focuses on Graphic Design and how it can be used for good. The site itself is an example on how graphic design can make a difference, providing interactive and informative articles on world issues such as climate change and sustainability, to help get the message across why it is important to design for change. Design Can Change is filled with info, ideas and articles on how as designers we can produce work that influences the public to think differently about the things we buy and they way we live.

“This site is focused around you, the designer, and why you have to become sustainable. By now, you know that embracing sustainable practices is simply necessary for any designer that wishes to stay competitive. But isn’t there more to it than that?

     Remember the first time one of your designs reached the public? If you are like us, you felt a wave of amazement, inspired by the fact that you could do something substantial with your craft. Suppose you were given the opportunity to regain that sense of accomplishment and delight?

     Perhaps this is the moment we have been waiting for, when we show the world that designers do impact positive change. This is our time to come together, engage in a global challenge, and present real solutions. You may feel differently, but for many of us, that’s the most exciting possibility we’ve ever been presented with.”
