We All Design Well

Relational Design | Spring 2014 | Final Project
 
We All Design Well is meant to be a new show, a reshuffling of sorts of some of the designers from the Graphic Design—Now in Production show. I was interested in looking into and analyzing the demographics of designers chosen to be a part of GDNIP and was dissatisfied in the representation of non-white designers.  Together, Europe and North America accounted for about 83% of all of the designers picked. Graphic design is everywhere, so I attempted to create a new show, a new catalog for a show where the representation is more equal. An earlier version of this project excluded the white designers, and was instead called We Too Design Well, but that too was problematic. Thus, the composition of the show shifted to be all inclusive—just at a more equal, proportionate scale.
 
Ultimately the show is purely about the work, but I still think it matters who (and where)  the work comes from. That said, this compilation is just the starting point, this would ideally be a show that is ever-growing to include more designers and artists creating work related to graphic design from all over.
