HAVE THE CHALLENGES OF 2020 CHANGED HOW YOU THINK ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN AND DESIGNERS?
I’m politically engaged, and watching the use of someone’s death, even to advance a cause, without the family’s explicit permission, concerns me. Imagine your son or daughter is murdered, and you see their name on a stranger’s online store on some sticker where the goal is personal profit? But, that said, design for good should be at the forefront of everyone’s minds right now.
