Critical Debates in Design : Task5

Choose 2 designer or design groups that you consider to have strong ethics and a socially responsible approach to their design concept work. Give examples or illustrations and discuss your views on their approach to design.

1.Tibor Kalman 

In the middle of 1980, there was one man who changed the graphic design world. His name is Tibor Kalman. He created his works that relate with society, culture and the world.


Tibor did his work as a social activist for whom graphic designer concern about good design and social responsibility. Good design, which he defined as “unexpected and untried,” added more interest, and was thus a benefit, to everyday life. Second, since graphic design is mass communication, Tibor believed it should be used to increase public responsiveness of a variety of social issues.






His role inspires me to create art work that also care about quality of design and people. His successes become important things for graphic designer.

2.Muji

In 1980, Ryohin Keikaku launched the MUJI brand under the catch phrase "Lower priced for a reason." MUJI was created to promote low price and high value products, based on the in-house development experience of Seiyu GK, the umbrella group of Ryohin Keikaku.


The basic value of MUJI market development is to create products that are fundamental, practical and indeed necessary in every day life, and to certify efficient and minimal manufacturing processes. Appearance of Muji outcomes are simplify ,elegant and functional products.
