2019 San Francisco Design Week
Designers of all disciplines are united by the drive to solve problems, advance aesthetics, and re-think the future. The increasing global collaboration among visual designers, industrial designers, strategists, writers, photographers, videographers, illustrators, and artists has created a community of purpose in today’s complex world.
2019 San Francisco Design Week
June 20-28, 2019
Cost: There are events that are free, but some may have admission fees.The 2019 theme of CommUNITY honors the design discipline’s global unity, which will be celebrated at the opening night party on June 20, 2019 when leading San Francisco and acclaimed international designers showcase original artifacts they have produced especially for the event—posters, typeface, product, sculpture, motion graphic or artwork–– a response to the concept of “communicating unity.”
The lack of diversity in design is not a new problem. Scholars, employers, organizations and design professionals have been documenting it for more than 50 years, and yet representation for people of color in the profession hasn’t significantly increased in more than 10 years. Culturally insensitive advertising and messaging are on the rise, and diversity-building initiatives are minimal. What’s behind this disparity?
