The featured work address a variety of key issues such as design and the environment, social responsibility, new technologies and education.

Aim

The overall aim is to encourage industry public debate about current issues and changes effecting graphic design practice, the future of graphic design, how the discipline relates to business and society and how design will change in the next decade and beyond.
