Design for social causes – Designism Connects

December 5, 2008 by Mel Lim | business | 0 Comments

Okay people! This is my best discovery to date and I am thrilled to share it.

I am sure many of you have heard of Designism Connects, but I recently stumbled upon it again while reading my favorite publication, CREATIVITY, November 2008 issue. Started in 2006, this website is a venue for designers to offer their pro-bono talents with non-profits worldwide seeking creative services. The concept aims to facilitate advertising and design as instruments for social and political change.

On a personal note, I would rather be contributing my design services to social causes that I believe in, than to haggle pennies with for-profit businesses and clients.
