Icon-ignorance
by Nikita Prokhorov
A symbol is just a symbol. A color is just a color. And a star is just a star, even if it's red. It is a ubiquitous symbol, having been appropriated into the mainstream culture for a multitude of corporations and businesses, such as Heineken and Wal-Mart. The significance of the red star is lost on most of the American society.

Call for participation - 27 April: World Graphics Day
The 27 April marks Icograda’s anniversary and has become a day dedicated to the recognition of graphic design and its role in the world today. Join designers around the world as we celebrate our profession.
We’re planning a special edition of eNews on 26 April 2006 to share these celebrations with the Icograda family. If you are planning a celebration of World Graphics Day, please send the information to Icograda at communication@icograda.org.
Call for Papers: "Mind the Gap: The Separate Spheres of Graphic and
Product Design"
Design Studies Forum Special Session, College Art Association 95th Annual Conference,
New York City, 14 > 17 Feb 2007
What unites graphic design and product design? What separates them? What do we gain or lose when we conjoin or separate them? Does this gap exist for the consumer, who relies on packaging to select a product? Do practitioners now, or did earlier practitioners (as well as historians and critics), perceive a divide? How can we acknowledge the inter-relationships without threatening disciplinary integrity? Do these questions overlook connections between these practices and other subsets of design, such as fashion and interiors? Do art history, communications, consumer studies, anthropology, material culture studies, and other cultural sciences offer useful lenses through which to examine these questions?
Papers are sought that both acknowledge similarities as well as make strong claims for differences between education, professional development, and conception and production of objects.
Please submit abstracts (250 words) and a brief c.v. to both chairs:
Kristin U. Fedders at kfedders@sf.edu and Michael J. Golec at mjg402@iastate.edu by 15 May 2006.
