Graphic Design in a Global Economy
An Icograda Design Perspectives Seminar
A Worldwide Perspective on Graphic Design from Five Continents!
On 13 June 2001, Icograda will launch a new series of Seminar titled Design Perspectives. The objective of these seminars is to give a truly worldwide perspective on graphic design. In Cuba, five continents will be represented (America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania) by prominent lecturers coming from Israel, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Korea, Belgium, Japan and Venezuela.
A wide spectrum of approaches
The theme of the Seminar in La Habana will be Graphic Design in a Global Economy. Lecturers will, amongst other themes, discuss the redefinition of Graphic Design (Why is that milk carton talking to me?, an intriguing and inspiring lecture by David Grossman, Israel), make a journey amongst cultures around the world (Signs and Wonders, by Robert L. Peters, Canada), discover the creation from scratch of a new writing system (What's behind Hangul, the Korean writing system? a fascinating conference by Prof. Ahn Sang Soo, Korea), research authenticity (My search of an authentic Venezuelan graphic design, by Jorge Montero, Venezuela), observe the cohabition of local and global brands under the Australian sky (Globalization -- Culture vs. Globalized Brands by Russell Bevers, Autralia) or make the plunge in the breathtaking South African graphic design style! (The Bauhaus vs Boipatong: South Africa as an international graphic design laboratory, by Jacques Lange, South Africa).

Reconnect = Renaissance
By Roy Clucas, Daniel Matthews and David Holland
The theme of this calendar is a series of phrases chosen to illustrate a particular perspective about life, pertinent to the African condition. Some are inspirational, others cryptic, all attempt to challenge the cliche or absolutely reinforce it.
Roy Clucas was born in South Africa in 1947 and has lived and worked in New
York, Paris, Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg, plying his trade as a
graphic designer.

Design and Morality, by Sanja Bachrach Kristofic
The Responsibilities in Design, by FedaVukic
On April 11, Ulupuh organized a round table on [greater equal]Design and Morality[less equal]. The essays published as Feature are abstracts from the exhibition catalogue and offer interesting perspectives on the responsibilities designers have to embrace and include in their professional work.

N E W I N O P I N I O N
Do Ethics and Morality influence your design work
and professional behavior?
Ethics and Morality were recently discussed during a round table in Zagreb, Croatia. A theme considered more than actual in the countries in transition and even broader. But do Ethics and Morality affect your daily professional life?
Give your opinion and vote at http://www.icograda.org
O P I N I O N
What computer platform do you use?
A few weeks ago, we asked you what computer platform you are using. It looks like Graphic Design is a MacAddict world... Can't designers do the same as others or do Macs really better fit designers needs?
Apple/Macintosh: 70%
I don't use a computer : 19%
PC/Windows/NT: 14%
