For this year’s International Design Day,  we invited Graphic Artist Guild members to share their thoughts and on the theme of “Peace. Love. Design!” We’re also displaying designs they selected, that showcase how they reflect these values in their work.

International Design Day is the annual celebration of design promoted by the International Council of Design. The Council selects themes for the day reflecting core values and ethical responsibility designers share. This year, IDD also celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Council.

The second is a logo for a local woman who provides pet grievance services. Pets are such valuable, loved members of our families and many people struggle with losing their furry loved ones.
