Citizen Designer : should graphic designers have social responsibility?

Do graphic designers have a social responsibility? Is good design good citizenship? Should graphic designers have a willingness to lie? All these questions are tested and expanded by world-class designer, thinker and author Steven Heller in this interview from the pages of DT&G Magazine

60-Seconds #323 : Future history – the coming of a Digital Dark Age

I have a friend who recently lost their iPhone. I asked, is there a backup? The answer was chilling. Then I get an email from Karl Volkman who wants to write about the possible reality of a ‘Digital Dark Age’ asking ‘Are Our Priceless Digital Records Safe?’ I’ve preached on this topic in past 60-second windows, and it’s time to say it again.

Design Giants Glaser and Bernard Produce Human Rights Magazine

Masterworks of American Modernism from New York to New Mexico

Last winter we told you about “New Photography Acquisitions” exhibit that opened at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum last March. That was a huge success, and they’re preparing for the fall with the Vilcek Collection which features more than 60 masterworks of American modernism from early 1910 through the Post-war era — Masterworks of American Modernism from New York to New Mexico

iPad Etiquette: using iPads in your presentations

Got an iPad? Are you using it for client presentations? You should be. New technology is exciting, but with it comes the awkward business of figuring out just what’s “appropriate” – especially with a very personal device like a tablet. So, we’re really glad that Kim Feld sent this article to share with DTG readers!

One thing most designers and creative professionals lack that will kill profits

Most graphic design projects are singular and session based. However, once you evolve into projects that require many sub-contractors, or venders to praticipat, and multiple creative resources, you can quickly get behind the 8-ball and lose a pile of money. The one thing that will keep your profits in tact is careful planning and billing. We used to do this on a chalkboard — but now you can do it digitally
