Nearly half a century old, Icograda is a global body devoted to advancing the discipline of design as it relates to society at large. Its new +DESIGN site, created by the Vancouver-based agency Rethink, distills the organization's mission to its essence. It's a simple catalog of case studies demonstrating the way design can promote social welfare, such as a campaign to improve traffic safety by Italy's Fabrica research center and a project by Philadelphia's MIO to "upcycle" financial news giant Bloomberg's unwanted business cards into office chairs. The jurors liked the site's start simplicity - it consists of nothing more than text, image galleries and comment boards - as well as its underlying message about the value of design.
