As a complement to our perennial and popular special reports — “People To Watch” (newsmakers and leaders) and “Students To Watch” (rising stars) and “Educators To Watch” (influential teachers) — we have added an annual “Responsible Designers To Watch” to the editorial mix. In doing so, we recognize and amplify the movement of creative professionals to embrace responsibility writ large in terms of how sustainably they create and produce, yes, but more broadly how, when, why and for whom they work.
The common thread: these are creative and thought leaders who use design principles, talents and skills to make the world a better place as they see it. In 2023, this is especially relevant, meaningful and poignant as America and the world emerge into a new era of fallout and fault lines, challenges and change, a fraying social fabric that needs mending. For six decades, GDUSA has advocated the value of graphic design in shaping commerce, culture and causes. Never has this proposition been more true or more pressing.
