  Design will Save the World

  To begin to articulate Social Design, one must first understand the word design. A design, any design, by its very nature requires a problem, in this case a social problem, or a problem of society.

  Design is NOT art, it is not an opinion, or a trend or even an aesthetic. It is an answer to a problem. It is a way of thinking about and contemplating how to solve a problem, and then articulating this in a chosen medium.

  In the case of D21, "Social Design" is a way to present the problems of society and the world, into a social network of clever people, to contemplate and solve with their various disciplines.

  Whether you believe it or not, it is true that "Design will Save the World"... within all levels of society, thru-out your daily life, and even while brushing your teeth in the morning.

  Excellent Site

  Wooster Collective is one of the best (little known?) websites on street art ever. I've been going there for a long time, and am never let down. Great podcasts too.

  Essentially this site really allows people to archive many works that never last more then a few weeks, days or even hours in some cases, and speak more to how society and the social conscious really are, often way more accurately, and definitely more cleverly, then the your everyday common media.

  Thanks for the great site, and keep up good the work. The world really needs more places like this that foster "alternative branding, advertising and news".
