Icograda collaborates on Creative Waves 2007: Visualising Issues in Pharmacy
Icograda is very pleased to announce that it will be collaborating with the Omnium Research Group (Australia) on a new international education initiative: 'Visualising Issues in Pharmacy' (VIP).
"We are very pleased to be a part of this latest project with Omnium," says Russell Kennedy, Icograda's Vice President in charge of the Icograda Education Network (IEN). "Not only will it create an innovative design education environment, but it will also demonstrate how design can be used as a medium to effect progressive change on global issues such as health. We hope as many of the 75 schools in 29 countries that make up the IEN will get involved."

Poster Mania
What's behind designers drive to produce posters for exhibition?
by Ebrahim Haghighi
It's been a few years that poster design and display in various exhibitions has turned an epidemic among young designers. Affected by this trend, managers and exhibition organisers alike regard these exhibitions with favour. This acute poster mania has entangled a large group of designers; a subject worth a review.
Read this story http://www.icograda.org/web/feature-current.shtml
O P I N I O N
Blurring the lines: a what is a poster?
In this week's Feature, Ebrahim Haghighi highlights the phenomenon of designers producing posters for display solely in exhibitions. He argues that this trend is blurring the line between painting and posters. We want to know what you think.
State your opinion http://www.icograda.org/web/opinion
F R O M P R E V I O U S O P I N I O N
What's in a name? The 5 stars of 100% brand ownership.
We asked if you agreed with Naseem Javed’s 5 stars.
36% - Yes. Building brand ownership relies on these principles.
25% - No. Brand ownership is built through consumer experience.
42% - Maybe. Its a combination of both of the above.
Totals shown may be more or less than 100% due to rounding
