27 April is World Graphics Day

Montreal (Canada) - On 27 April 2009, join designers and design enthusiasts around the globe in celebrating World Graphics Day, an opportunity to recognise communication design and its role internationally.
In 1995, Icograda's anniversary was designated World Graphics Day. Since then, designers around the globe have come together to celebrate 27 April in ways as diverse as the global community that Icograda represents.

Lead creatively
What drives Icograda is a shared passion that design is a medium for progressive change. We call it 'leading creatively'. To mark World Graphics Day 2009, we want to know how you use design to effect change in the world around you. It can be on any scale - local, regional, national or international.

Tell us about how you translate 'leading creatively' into action - about the kind of change design can facilitate.

Participate
Join Icograda in promoting what it means to 'lead creatively' in our global community. Post your activities on the Icograda Blog or on our event on Facebook, and let us know what you'll be doing on 27 April.
