What is Designism?

A recent Art Directors' Club event featured Milton Glaser, Jessica Helfand, James Victore and other well known designers talking about using advertising and for social and political change. The term coined to encompass this work: Designism. It sounds like a less focused version of what we've been calling Socially Conscious Design for a while, but you can decide for yourself by listening to a podcast of the event here.

Also worth checking out is a response by the folks at Be A Design Group who aren't quite ready to jump on the bandwagon.

Thanks Lauren!
