From discarded office stationary to climate change, the +DESIGN website shows how communication design can help address a number of complex challenges in unusual and creative ways. Many of these solutions tackle various UN Millennium Development Goals.

For this week's Blog, we would like to hear your thoughts on design's role in development. In your experience, how has communication design provided unique solutions for issues impacting local, regional or global populations? Is there an issue that has inspired you to find a solution through communication design?
