Happy World Graphics Day

worldgraphicsday.jpgToday is World Graphics Day.

Who knew?

Icograda, for one, because that’s the organization that sponsors the day. And the folks at How magazine, for another, because they told me so on their blog.

Anyway, the reason for World Graphics Day, according to Icograda, is to provide an “opportunity to recognise communication design, its role in the world and to celebrate Icograda’s anniversary. It has been celebrated internationally since 1995.”

On this occasion, designers reflect and hope that our international network can contribute to a greater understanding between people and can help to build bridges where divides and inequities exist.

Check the website for a list of World Graphics Day events.

The way the cookie crumbles

Had lunch yesterday at my favorite local Chinese buffet, and the fortune cookie said:

Who am I to argue?

I’m outta blogland for a bit to enjoy spring. Yard work and nature beckons.

Hope you have a little fun this weekend, too.

P.S. – Friday Five will probably return next week.
