HAVE THE CHALLENGES OF 2020 CHANGED HOW YOU THINK ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN AND DESIGNERS?
In the midst of these turbulent times, I think a Graphic Designer’s social and political influence is more impactful and important than ever before. Also, we need to consider the implication of our creations, not only for clients and collaborators, but for its impact on the world.
