As part of their involvement in Design Ignites Change, students from the Junior Graphic Design class at Corcoran College of Art + Design have been performing a series of sidewalk reenactments in an effort to raise awareness of pedestrian fatalities in Washington, DC. Last week, these students made the local news! Click here to see the story that ran on the local NBC affiliate. (more…)
Design Ignites Change was recently featured in an article published on Fast Company’s website. The article was a synopsis of a talk given by Worldstudio principals, Andréa Pellegrino and Mark Randall, at the Y Conference produced by AIGA San Diego.
Worldstudio, together with the Adobe Foundation’s signature program Adobe Youth Voices, today launched Design Ignites Change, a program that encourages talented high school and college students to use the power of design to address social issues in their local communities through substantive public projects. Supporting and media partners include: AIGA, the professional association for design; Citizen Scholar; Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum; Core 77; Design Observer; Frog Design; Graphic Design USA; Williams & House.
Mark Randall is one of thirty designers featured in the January issue of Graphic Design USA magaine. Each year GD USA chooses a group of People To Watch who embody the spirit of the creative community. The criteria: individuals who have become known and respected for a combination of talent, leadership, success, insight, business savvy, community service and newsworthiness.
At a time when corporations need to be judicious with every marketing dollar, Worldstudio’s socially responsible projects and programs enable corporations to differentiate themselves in a crowded market by connecting with key constituencies in tangible and meaningful ways.
Worldstudio is proud to announce a new initiative, Design Ignites Change, a collaboration between Adobe Youth Voices and Worldstudio.
The annual program promotes and encourages talented high school and college students across the country to use design thinking and innovation to create solutions to, and messages, for pressing social problems.
