GALERIA

Stolen Lives
Rene Quijada, GDC - Canada

Stolen Lives is compelling documentary that combines personal stories with gritty, high-impact visuals to chronicle the tragic consequences of stealing cars. It is a powerfully honest production, designed to stop the tragedies of auto theft before they happen by educating youth about the link between drug addiction and auto crime in Canada.

FEATURE

The Master's view
A tribute to Alan Fletcher by Lorenzo Shakespear

One afternoon back in 1991, finishing up a few things before going home, sitting at a Pentagram desk in London (for many, a place unknown; for some, an icon of design; for me a unique site), my brand new job, the printer by my side started spitting out sheets of paper, one after the other without a halt. I raised my head to see who was still there.

OPINION

What percentage of your business is from clients outside the country?

Technology is enabling designers to work for clients in markets that were previously inaccessible.
We're interested in whether you are doing more work internationally.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS

27 April: World Graphic’s Day

27 April marks the birth of Icograda in 1963. It is celebrated by communication designers and design associations around the world. This year will be Icograda’s 44 birthday. World Graphic’s Day is an opportunity to recognise communication design and its role in the world. On this occasion, designers reflect and hope that our global network can contribute to greater understanding between people and can help to build bridges where divides and inequities exist.
 
On 27 April, we will dedicate our eNews issue to events around the globe to mark this occasion. If you are planning to host a World Graphic’s Day celebration, please send the information to the Icograda Secretariat.

Both are board members of Icsid (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design).
