Ninth International Conference on Health, Wellness & Society

Abstract

Graphic Design, also known as communication design, is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. We, graphic designers, are professionally trained to inform audiences in visually effective way, such as innovative logo designs, engaging web designs, and creative packaging designs. But there’s another avenue of design that does well when sourced to the crowd that can have significant impacts outside of profit margins: socially influential design. I am convinced that the quality of design plays a bigger role in our lives than ever before. Designers are not only good at designing functionalities but also good at solving problems, and especially in recognizing problems that people didn’t previously consider to be problems at all. This poster/exhibition session will feature various possibilities of graphic design tools and methods connecting scientific and medical information to visual communication.
