Celebrating the Role of Culture in Design Competition

I got honorable mention in an international design competition and will be featured in China's Package & Design magazine. Make sure to pick it up when it hits the store!!! 

Message from Zelda Harrison, AIGA XCD President

Based in the US, the AIGA Center for Cross-Cultural Design (AIGA|XCD) is an AIGA Community established to foster greater communication between designers across cultures.

This competition was in a sense an experiment for us: AIGA XCD is a new member to the AIGA family and the first that moves beyond the boundaries of a local chapter to a national and international audience. 

Visual communicators general agree that culture matters, but not many consciously express how our environment has created what we call Cross-Cultural Design. 

"Celebrating the Role of Culture in Design" is a way for our community to express their experience. Over an 12-week period, Designers were asked to submit print, video, photography or interactive pieces that would answer the question: How do you express the intersection between Culture and Design in today's world?

We received submissions from all over the world. Submissions from the United States reflected the expected diversity of voices and social issues. The work was judged by an international panel of judges, selected for their contribution to visual communications and branding work across the globe. Details about the competition are available at www.xcd.aiga.org/competition/competition .html

AIGA XCD is proud to present you with the winners of the competition, and share their work with you.
