“WEAPONS OF MASS DECEPTION”: GRAPHIC DESIGN AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, LONDON INSTITUTE, FEBRUARY 20, 2004
“Over 95% of the graphic designers who have ever lived are alive today. Together, visual communicators have the power to define what professionalism in the design field will be about: helping increase market share or helping repair the world.”
On Friday February 20, 2004, at 2:30pm, David will speak at The London Institute’s London College of Printing about graphic design and social responsibility.
In his lecture, David will address these questions: Are we aware of the influence we wield as professional communicators in the new economics of global messaging? And once we do, where lies our responsibility, our opportunity, our ethics, our culpability, our balance?
