How Designers Can Save the World

I’ve just been catching up on my feeds and came across this inspiring post from Ben at Noisy Decent Graphics. I was going to put it in the next Creative Links but it’s so good I thought I’d point it out to you now.

It’s easy to think of design as an aesthetic discipline – Ben points out it can be much more than that. But amid all the preaching and pontificating, it probably takes a designer to remind us that saving the world can also be smart and cool.
